Audio

1. Overview​

The audio part of the Omni3576 development board uses the ES8388 driver chip, which is a high-performance, low-power and low-cost audio codec. It includes a 2-channel ADC, a 2-channel DAC, a microphone amplifier, a headphone amplifier, digital sound effects, and analog mixing and gain functions.

2. Sound configuration​

  1. Check the sound card device

    luckfox@luckfox:~$ arecord -l
    **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: rockchipes8388 [rockchip-es8388], device 0: dailink-multicodecs ES8323 HiFi-0 [dailink-multicodecs ES8323 HiFi-0]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

    luckfox@luckfox:~$ aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: rockchipes8388 [rockchip-es8388], device 0: dailink-multicodecs ES8323 HiFi-0 [dailink-multicodecs ES8323 HiFi-0]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 1: rockchipdp0 [rockchip-dp0], device 0: rockchip-dp0 spdif-hifi-0 [rockchip-dp0 spdif-hifi-0]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  2. Sound card driver directory

    luckfox@luckfox:~$ ls /dev/snd/
    by-path  controlC0  controlC1  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  pcmC1D0p  seq  timer
    • controlC0 and controlC1: used for sound card control, C0 means sound card 0, C1 means sound card 1, corresponding to the sound output of SOC above
    • pcmC0D0c: pcm device for recording, the last "c" is the abbreviation of capture, indicating the recording device
    • pcmC0D0p and pcmC1D0p: pcm device for playback, the last "p" is the abbreviation of playback, indicating the playback device
    luckfox@luckfox:~$  ls -l /dev/snd/by-path/
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 18 10:03 platform-dp0-sound -> ../controlC1
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 18 10:03 platform-es8388-sound -> ../controlC0

3. Test​

  1. Recording Test

    arecord -Dhw:0,0  -f cd -r 44100 -c 2 -t wav test.wav

  2. Headphone test (plugging in headphones will automatically switch input and output channels)

    设置录音增益：
    tinymix -D 0 set "Left Channel Capture Volume" 8
    tinymix -D 0 set "Right Channel Capture Volume" 8
    设置播放音量：
    tinymix -D 0 set "Output 1 Playback Volume" 33 33
    tinymix -D 0 set "Output 2 Playback Volume" 33 33
    播放：
    aplay -Dhw:0,0 -t wav /userdata/test.wav
    录音：
    arecord -Dhw:0,0  -f cd -r 44100 -c 2 -t wav /userdata/test.wav

  3. Playback test

    aplay -Dhw:0,0 -t wav /userdata/test.wav

4. Device tree Overview​

  1. The Audio DTS source file has been defined in kernel-6.10/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/luckfox-omni3576-codec.dtsi, and we can call it directly.
