BoostisbetterI think I tired some Apple wired headphones (you know the kind they bundle with everything) and I believe it did work. 16:43
Boostisbetterbut I had to go into pavucontrol and select it. 16:43
minuteabortretryfail: it works but can be tricky. check the source of /usr/sbin/reform-hw-setup 17:48
minuteless trouble to use a usb audio dongle if you just want to get things done17:49
abortretryfailalright i'll take a look thx18:11
abortretryfailThe manual doesn't mention much at all about the audio, maybe i need to write a chapter once I figure this out.18:12
abortretryfailBoostisbetter: did yours show another option on pavucontrol when the jack was plugged in?18:20
Boostisbetterabortretryfail, yes it did18:20
abortretryfailMaybe that's what's not working on mine. I always have "Analog Input" as the only option18:21
BoostisbetterI would test it again, but those headphones are work. Maybe tomorrow if you are still interested. 18:24
Boostisbetterthen again I did this when I was back on v2 of the system image. A lot has changed since then, but I think it should still work. 18:24
abortretryfaili wonder what tells pavucontrol that there are options to choose from18:30

abortretryfailInteresting. That's part of a package I don't have installed. alsa-ucm-conf21:51
abortretryfailwell installing that didn't magically fix it, on to the reading part. 21:55

minute    # This switch in WM8960 needs to be on for the headset mic input to work22:26
minute    amixer -c 0 sset 'Left Input Mixer Boost' on22:26
minuteabortretryfail: also i recommend to read the wm8960 datasheet, it explains all the internal knobs22:26
minutehttps://community.nxp.com/pwmxy87654/attachments/pwmxy87654/imx-processors/52419/1/WM8960.pdf22:27
abortretryfailokay, this is *weird* those mixer controls aren't really volume controls are they22:28
abortretryfailIt's playing various square waves and whatnot with them set to different values.22:28
minuteabortretryfail: yeah, the datasheet should describe all of them22:29
abortretryfaili'll give it a read over. I've seen complicated ALSA mixer setups before (emu10k2, etc) but this is a new kind of weird22:31
minuteyeah22:31
sigridwm8960 is fun22:33
abortretryfailthe square wave thing makes me wonder if it can be a chipsynth :D22:33
sigridbtw for some reason on my reform jack detection suddenly stopped working. I assume a hw fault but I have no idea what kind22:34
abortretryfaili think that's a software regression, jack detection doesn't work on mine either. I wonder this is a 6.x kernel problem22:34
sigridon 9front it worked since forever22:35
sigridproblem is, it still works for others22:35
sigridbut for me it stopped. even with the old release of 9front22:35
sigridalways detects as if I have headphones connected22:35
minuteabortretryfail: square wave could be a feedback loop perhaps22:39
abortretryfailmaybe. Now i'm wondering if i can make it play in tune as a chipsynth lol22:42
abortretryfailso i can hear my line input if i turn the left input mixer bypass up so its getting into the codec at least.22:42

vkoskivHm, fwrite("xWCLR", 5, 1, hidraw_file) writes the expected amount, but doesn't clear the OLED22:54
sigridI am not sure you need the "x" there22:54
vkoskivExperimentation shows that it is required for the WBIT command, at least.22:57
vkoskivAnd I tried both ways22:57
sigridhm ok. I use both WCLR and WBIT without the x and they work22:57
vkoskivThe provided kbdgfx example code also has x at the start22:58
vkoskivAlthough the code doesn't actually have any part where it checks for x23:00
sigridoh haha23:00
sigridkeyboard-fw: fix wrong command for OLED clearing23:00
sigrid52551df3d9f69663846ee298d71693cf7409555623:00
sigridmaybe related?23:00
sigridcould be that in linux raw hid needs some extra stuff prepended, which in this case what 'x' is, dunno23:01
vkoskivYeah, that's what I'm assuming23:02
vkoskivI also saw that commit, seems unrelated23:02
sigridbut yep, apparently WCLR did not work for me last year and I fixed it, but then I forgot ofc23:02
vkoskivAlthough, I might actually be running an old version without that fix23:02
vkoskivI just shrugged and wrote an empty bitmap a year ago when I probably ran into this23:02
vkoskivI'll flash the keyboard and see23:03
vkoskivOkay, now it clears it as expected with xWCLR23:09
vkoskivI flashed the firmware from 20220221 -> 2023070323:10
vkoskivNew problem: The short xWCLR fwrite() sometimes returns EPIPE23:10

vkoskivNot related to xWCLR, it happens with xWBIT too23:29
vkoskivInteresting, only the fwrite I do to clear the display when exiting ever fails with EPIPE23:35
vkoskivAnd it only happens sometimes, seemingly randomly23:35
vkoskivIt's my bug, I think. The way I deal with SIGINT in my program.23:39
vkoskivI'll debug it tomorrow.23:39
vkoskivFlashing fw fixed xWCLR, so that's good!23:39
minutevkoskiv: the x is just padding23:44
abortretryfailinteresting, i think my problem is pipewire/pulse, not anything to do with the hardware or alsa. turning the onboard sound "off" in the configuration tab lets arecord record just fine23:49
