[PATCH] Add Mac mini sound support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The patch below adds sound support on the Mac Mini by making a small change to the PowerMac sound card detection code.

Details: 

Original code:
>From sound/ppc/pmac.c  __init snd_pmac_detect(pmac_t *chip) :

 chip->model = PMAC_AWACS;
 ...
 if (device_is_compatible(sound, "AOAKeylargo")) {
  ...
  chip->model = PMAC_SNAPPER;
  ...
 }

The chip model is first set to AWACS, then because the check above returns true, it gets set to SNAPPER.
Using AWACS gives perfect sound, using SNAPPER gives no sound at all, so it should use AWACS instead.
Note that the mixer still doesn't work.

My simple patch makes the mentioned check return false on a Mac Mini.

Patch against 2.6.12-rc2:

-------------

The patch was tested by checking if I got sound support with the patch applied on my Mac Mini.

Thanks to Owen Stampflee at Yellowdog Linux for discovering that sound works when setting chip->model=PMAC_AWACS on the mini.
