alsa_aplay not recording on android

问题


I have just started working on android and I am trying to understand how android audio sub-system (alsa) works. I am running an android image in virtual-box running on windows-7 (64 bit).

I was fiddling with alsa-utils to record sound. I tried alsa_aplay -C -f S16_LE -c 2 -r 44100 -d 5 foo.wav it said something like: Recording WAVE foo.wav : Signed 16 bit little endian, rate 44100, stereo

However, the output file created appears to be blank (after the wav file header).

od -x foo.wav

0000000 4952 4646 7574 000d 4157 4556 6d66 2074
0000020 0010 0000 0001 0002 ac44 0000 b110 0002
0000040 0004 0010 6164 6174 7550 000d 0000 0000
0000060 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
3272560 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
3272574

I also found that alsa_amixer is seg faulting.

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono:
Segmentation fault

alsa_ctl init also throws an error but proceeds with some default config

Unknown hardware: "ICH" "Sigmatel STAC9700,83,84" "AC97a:83847600" "0x8086" "0x0000"
Hardware is initalized using a guess method

When I check the current config used by alsa using alsa_ctl store -f cur_config.txt it has capture switch: true and capture volume: value.0 = 8 & value.1 = 8

output of alsa_amixer scontrols

Simple mixer control 'Master',0

Any idea why I am not able to record?

[UPDATE]

The default audio controller in vbox was ICH AC 97. I changed it to Intel HD Audio and tried the same things and it worked. Now I am able to record sound. The lsmod | grep snd output in both the cases is:

**`ICH AC 97`**
snd_intel8x0 19446 3 - Live 0xf80e9000
snd_ac97_codec 76811 1 snd_intel8x0, Live 0xf80bf000
ac97_bus 730 1 snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xf809a000
snd_pcm 47290 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xf8080000
snd_timer 12553 1 snd_pcm, Live 0xf805f000
snd_page_alloc 4893 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm, Live 0xf804f000

**`Intel HD Audio`**
snd_hda_codec_idt 37680 1 - Live 0xf8108000
snd_hda_intel 16006 3 - Live 0xf80de000
snd_hda_codec 49045 2 snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel, Live 0xf80ba000
snd_hwdep 3844 1 snd_hda_codec, Live 0xf809c000
snd_pcm 47290 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec, Live 0xf8080000
snd_timer 12553 1 snd_pcm, Live 0xf805f000
snd_page_alloc 4893 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm, Live 0xf804f000

output of ls /dev/snd also differs:

**ICH AC 97**
controlC0
pcmC0D0c
pcmC0D0p
pcmC0D1c
timer

**Intel HD**
controlC0
hwC0D0
pcmC0D0c
pcmC0D0p
pcmC0D1c
pcmC0D1p
timer

I tried comparing the strace -f alsa_aplay -C foo.wav, but couldn't find any thing useful there. The only difference is that, after the ioctl call, '0000' is being written in first case (with ICH AC 97), where as some meaningful data is written with 'Intel HD Audio'

Could this be because of some driver issues?

[UPDATE ENDS]
