           Summary: ENE CB712 CardBus bridge needs special treatment with
                    Echo Audio Indigo soundcards
           Product: Drivers

    Kernel Version: 2.6.32.6
          Platform: All

              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: PCMCIA
        AssignedTo: linux-pcmcia at lists.infradead.org
        ReportedBy: michal.pecio at gmail.com
        Regression: No


Indigos are well known for distortions when running on some buggy ENE
controllers. There is a workaround in the yenta driver, but for some reason it
isn't activated on CB712. However, I own a laptop with such chip and it seems
that it also is affected - I can clearly hear occasional cracks, especially
under heavy network load, and in Windows XP the card is completely unusable :)
This simple change fixed things for me:

I've only touched the CB712, but Echo's FAQ says that CB710 and CB720 are also
affected.

On my system, ene_tune_bridge() changes register 0xC9 from 4 to 2. Changing it
few times back and forth with setpci during playback with running "ping -f"
confirmed that this is indeed the cause of my problem.
