Sound Blaster Live mixer / default DSP code
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
The EMU10K1 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support
|
|
various ways of sample processing, which is described here.
|
|
(This article does not deal with the overall functionality of the
|
|
EMU10K1 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)
|
|
|
|
The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code
|
|
(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) IEC958 (S/PDIF) raw PCM
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
This PCM device (it's the 4th PCM device (index 3!) and first subdevice
|
|
(index 0) for a given card) allows to forward 48kHz, stereo, 16-bit
|
|
little endian streams without any modifications to the digital output
|
|
(coaxial or optical). The universal interface allows the creation of up
|
|
to 8 raw PCM devices operating at 48kHz, 16-bit little endian. It would
|
|
be easy to add support for multichannel devices to the current code,
|
|
but the conversion routines exist only for stereo (2-channel streams)
|
|
at the time.
|
|
|
|
Look to tram_poke routines in lowlevel/emu10k1/emufx.c for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Digital mixer controls
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended
|
|
functionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is described
|
|
here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the
|
|
neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the same destination
|
|
is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped
|
|
(set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Explanation of used abbreviations:
|
|
|
|
DAC - digital to analog converter
|
|
ADC - analog to digital converter
|
|
I2S - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors
|
|
(this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters)
|
|
LFE - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal)
|
|
AC97 - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC converters
|
|
IEC958 - S/PDIF
|
|
FX-bus - the EMU10K1 chip has an effect bus containing 16 accumulators.
|
|
Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators
|
|
and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.
|

|
3) PCM stream related controls
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
name='EMU10K1 PCM Volume',index 0-31
|
|
|
|
Channel volume attenuation in range 0-0xffff. The maximum value (no
|
|
attenuation) is default. The channel mapping for three values is
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
0 - mono, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
|
|
1 - left, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
|
|
2 - right, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
|
|
|
|
name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing',index 0-31
|
|
|
|
This control specifies the destination - FX-bus accumulators. There are
|
|
twelve values with this mapping:
|
|
|
|
0 - mono, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
|
|
1 - mono, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
|
|
2 - mono, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
|
|
3 - mono, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
|
|
4 - left, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
|
|
5 - left, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
|
|
6 - left, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
|
|
7 - left, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
|
|
8 - right, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
|
|
9 - right, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
|
|
10 - right, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
|
|
11 - right, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
|
|
|
|
Don't forget that it's illegal to assign a channel to the same FX-bus accumulator
|
|
more than once (it means 0=0 && 1=0 is an invalid combination).
|
|
|
|
name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Volume',index 0-31
|
|
|
|
It specifies the attenuation (amount) for given destination in range 0-255.
|
|
The channel mapping is following:
|
|
|
|
0 - mono, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
|
|
1 - mono, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
|
|
2 - mono, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
3 - mono, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
4 - left, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
|
|
5 - left, B destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
6 - left, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
7 - left, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
8 - right, A destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
9 - right, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
|
|
10 - right, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
|
|
11 - right, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
