Alsa overrun/underrun errors

yehudastern — Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:37:16 GMT

Hi,

I'm using 2 TLV320AIC3106 codecs, connected to SSI1 and SSI2, and I recently changed the sampling rate from 44.1KHz to 48KHz.

When I run alsa loops (see below), I usually get the xrun error message roughly once in every 2 minutes: overrun!!! (at least xx ms long) or underrun!!! (at least xx ms long).

BTW, before changing the sampling rate, the error messages appeared a lot more often (every couple of seconds).

This problem happens with both codecs, even if the loops are internal for each codec. Here are the alsa loops I run:

arecord -D hw:0 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -B 8000 -F 1000 -c 2 | aplay -D hw:0 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -B 4000 -F 2000 -c 2run |

arecord -D hw:1 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -B 8000 -F 1000 -c 2 | aplay -D hw:1 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -B 4000 -F 2000 -c 2

Regards,

Yehuda

Hi Yehuda

one can check if this behaviour is caused by bus bandwidth limitation

running mmdc profiling tool

If this is bandwidth limitation, then it is necessary to decrease bus loading

removing gpu/vpu applications or change them in such way, so they consume

less bandwidth.

Best regards
