On 11 June, we changed some important kernel keys since these kernels:DESCRIPTION:
It has been reported by dago68 and verified also by me, that there are very ugly audio issues with the HDA audio.
Perhaps the same issues may be present also with AC97: this has not been tested by the lacking of such hardware.
Every time that some audio contents must be played:
it starts with some noises lasting a few secs, or a audio bump, or even worse one missing channel (left or right)...
3.9.1-1, 3.9.1-69 then into kernel 3.8.13-2, kernel 3.8.13-69.2, and so on...
from
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0
CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0
to
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=10
CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=10
thus adding Power Saving Audio enabling audio idle when after 10 secs of inactivity

That was the result of of a part of an accepted proposal (by POK)

- Virtual package for new nrj kernel for properly install and updates.
+ update to 3.9.1 stable
- all the defconfigs have been prepared for 3.9 series
- all the patches have been updated for the 3.9 series
- update kernel specs
- update kernel scripts
- on mainline nrj kernels we apply again > create_configs-withBFQ
- we've received some good suggestions, and all have been accepted

it starts with some noises lasting a few secs, or a audio bump, or even worse one missing channel (left or right)...
I suppose that the audio power save can be the culprit of this bad behaviour, so from next kernel version, to verify this,
I have reverted the configuration to NO Audio Power Save for HDA and AC978 audio with the incoming kernel 3.10.5...

* Wed Aug 07 2013 Nicolo' Costanza <[email protected]> 3.10.5-1.1
- Virtual package for new nrj kernel for properly install and updates.
+ update to 3.10.5 stable
- sync all /patches
- sync defconfigs
- enable ndiswrapper
- update QL patch: tuxonice-for-linux-3.10.5-2013-08-04.patch
- revert to power save disable to verify if fixes an issue of audio noise:
- (that issue has been firstly reported by "dago68", then verified by me)
* CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0
* CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0

- Kernel 3.10 for mdv 2010.2, 2011.0, cooker, rosa.lts2012.0, rosa2012.1

all kernels since 3.9.1-1, 3.9.1-69, 3.8.13-2, kernel 3.8.13-69.2, up to 3.10.4, now are suffering the audio issues
When you'll install new Kernel 3.10.5, please, verify if audio is finally OK,
also when you start some audio streams after some time of unactivity!
(This comparison must be done with all other kernels that we made since 11 June upto kernel 3.10.4)
Thanks
