Re: [debian-powerpc] New Ibook no sound , Works only for the headphones



Hi!

Being a mac-owner for only 48 hours now, I don't really understand too much of 
the hardware-side of my iBook. So, I might be misunderstanding some of your 
questions, but I'll try and give my best in answering them. :-)

> 1. Was your model detected as a snapper before your fix?

No, it was detected as an awacs-card. That's also what hwinfo tells me.

/proc/device-tree/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/i2s@0/i2s-a@10000/sound# cat 
compatible
AOAbase

This doesn't really mean anything to me.

Sure, here it is:

/proc/device-tree/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/i2s@0/i2s-a@10000/sound# ls -la
total 8
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root  0 Sep 16 15:47 .
dr-xr-xr-x  3 root root  0 Sep 16 15:47 ..

Sorry, I don't have that file.

Okay, here we go:

od -x layout-id
0000000 0000 0050
0000004

od -x linux,phandle
0000000 ff98 5200
0000004

od -x platform-tas-codec-ref
0000000 ff98 cdd8
0000004

od -x vendor-id
0000000 0000 106b
0000004

cat device_type
soundchip

cat name
sound

Well, I don't really have a clue why that patch works, so I don't like to 
submit it to mainline before I have some deeper understanding of what I 
actually did... ;-) So, I will submit it as soon as someone with more 
knowledge of apple's sound-hardware confirms that the patch looks reasonable.

Cheers,
Sven
