Hello, I have a tascam FW-1884 mixer running under debian 12 and when using the snd-firewire-tascam-ctl-service snd 0 command i get these messages at the end before the program exits:

2024-08-25T15:30:23.552907Z DEBUG cache: snd_firewire_tascam_ctl_service::isoch_ctls: params=AnalogOutputPair0 res=Ok(())
2024-08-25T15:30:23.553854Z DEBUG cache: snd_firewire_tascam_ctl_service::isoch_ctls: params=TascamOpticalIfaceParameters { capture_source: Coaxial, output_source: StreamInputPairs } res=Err(Error { domain: g-file-error-quark, code: 6, message: "No flag detected: val: 0x00000030 mask: 0x0000008c" })
Linux file operation error: , No flag detected: val: 0x00000030 mask: 0x0000008c

This is my output of the firmware version:

mix@mix:~/snd-firewire-ctl-services$ cat /proc/asound/card0/firewire/firmware 
Register: 20 (0x00000014)
FPGA:     49 (0x00010031)
ARM:      173 (0x000100ad)
Hardware: 3 (0x00030000)

I have downgraded from the 183 version to this version in hope that it would work, as it didn't work before. The mixer works correctly under windows.
Thanks for helping.

Hi @Esavojt ,

Thanks for your report. It seems that the issue is quite similar to the one reported at #187 .

The patch in my post would suppress the issue, but it is not complete solution yet.

No flag detected: val: 0x00000030 mask: 0x0000008c

Furthermore, the value 0x30 is not what I expected. I guess that there is another uncleared configuration related to the bits in the register, and need further investigation.

Hi, thanks for your answer, i am currently trying different optical/coaxial routing in windows and then looking what your service returns, i will be back with the results. Tried switching a setting and the service works.

Hi, I have found out that when I select ADAT 1:8 as the optical output and when setting the coax out and spdif in settings I can get different values:

| Optical output | Coax out              | SPDIF in             | resulting value |
|----------------|-----------------------|----------------------|-----------------|
| ADAT 1:8       | SPDIF 1:2             | Coax to SPDIF 1:2    | 0x30            |
| ADAT 1:8       | SPDIF 1:2             | Optical to SPDIF 1:2 | 0x31            |
| ADAT 1:8       | Duplicate of ANLG 1:2 | Coax to SPDIF 1:2    | 0x32            |
| ADAT 1:8       | Duplicate of ANLG 1:2 | Optical to SPDIF 1:2 | 0x33            |

The interesting thing is that when I did it the first time, the service worked fine, but after that when I tried it second time, the service errored out with these values. When switching from ADAT 1:8 to Analog Outputs 1:8, everything works fine.

Hi,

Thanks for your investigation.

The configuration for the source of coaxial output (Coax out in the table) is programmed in the following lines, and it looks conforming to the result.

$ cat -n protocols/tascam/src/isoch.rs

The configuration for the source of SPDIF capture (SPDIF in in the table) is programmed in the following lines with the configuration for the source of optical output (Optical output in the table):

$ cat -n protocols/tascam/src/isoch.rs

 628 pub trait TascamIsochOpticalIfaceSpecification {

 631 
 632 const SPDIF_CAPTURE_SOURCES: &[(SpdifCaptureSource, u32, u32)] = &[

 669     ) -> Result<(), Error> {
             ...
 678     }
 679 }
 ...

The bitflags in SPDIF_CAPTURE_SOURCES looks conforming to the result, so we should focus just on the implementation of TascamIsochOpticalIfaceSpecification for Fw1884Protocol structure:

$ cat -n protocols/tascam/src/isoch/fw1884.rs
     ...
  72 impl TascamIsochOpticalIfaceSpecification for Fw1884Protocol {
  73     const OPTICAL_OUTPUT_SOURCES: &'static [(OpticalOutputSource, u32, u32)] = &[
  74         (
  75             OpticalOutputSource::StreamInputPairs,
  76             0x00000080,
  77             0x0000c000,
  78         ),
  79         (
  80             OpticalOutputSource::CoaxialOutputPair0,
  81             0x00000004,
  82             0x00080400,
  83         ),
  84         (
  85             OpticalOutputSource::AnalogInputPair0,
  86             0x00000088,
  87             0x00048800,
  88         ),
  89         (
  90             OpticalOutputSource::AnalogOutputPairs,
  91             0x00000008,
  92             0x00840800,
  93         ),
  94     ];
  95 }
     ...

If the above bitflags were comforming, the ADAT 1:8 matches to the first entry of OPTICAL_OUTPUT_SOURCES and should have resulted in 0x00000080 in the value. However, in both your case and #187 it is not. On the other hand, in my device, it matches. So we need to clear the role of bitflag 0x00000080, but not yet...

Hi @Esavojt,

Today I have taken my hardware back to the factory default by pressing SHIFT + CTRL + F8, according to the hardware manual, then I can generate the issue with the return value 0x00000000.

Take me more time to investigate further.

Hi,
finally got my tascam back, so now I can work on it again.

When I tried it today, I somehow got 0x01000030 in the register. It probably has to do with the monitor level knob setting.
Meanwhile I learned some rust so I have to yet orient myself in the code and the registers, also would like to help with the mackie control emulation where possible.

Today did some message sniffing on the firewire bus with the settings window open on windows and here is some of the data I got (which you probably already found out):

Audio section:

Audio Monitoring	DATA
Monitor Level Affects Analog 1:2	00 10 00 00
Monitor Level Affects Analog 1:6	02 00 10 00
Monitor Level Affects Analog 1:8	04 00 10 00

Master Fader Affects Analog 1:2 Gain	DATA
ON	00 00 40 00
OFF	00 40 00 00

Routing section:

Optical Outputs	DATA
ADAT	00 0c 00 00
Analog Outputs 1:8	00 84 08 00
Duplicate of Coax Out	00 08 04 00
Analog Inputs 1:8	00 04 88 00

Coax Output Source	DATA
SPDIF 1:2	00 02 00 00
Duplicate of ANLG 1:2	00 00 02 00

SPDIF Input Routing	DATA
Coax to SPDIF 1:2	00 01 00 00
Optical to SPDIF 1:2	00 00 01 00

Now I would like to try to see which setting updates which part of the register.

Hope this helps.
