Hi,

 

I'm working with mpd on armbian 20.02.0 with i2s device and found some problem: periodically sound is interrupted. I enable verbose logging in mpd and I get message:

May 20 04:36 : alsa_output: Underrun on ALSA device "hw:0,0"
May 20 04:36 : alsa_output: Underrun on ALSA device "hw:0,0"
May 20 04:37 : alsa_output: Underrun on ALSA device "hw:0,0"

This is not permanent and some time maybe work fine, but if it starts, messages go with an interval of 10-11 seconds until I restart mpd.

I rebuilt armbian with enabled ALSA debug options CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG, CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS, CONFIG_SND_DEBUG and try again.

This is result with my i2s card and echo 3 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug

I changed device output to analog codec, rebooted and create armbianmonitor log. Messages about snd_pcm* like messages i2s device, but haven't messages about sun4i_gpadc*.

I'm confused and don't know what make further.

 

I played files from connected sata hdd and NAS, but it does not matter. And maybe this issue related kworker problem? Because I periodically see kworker/0:4-events_freezable_power_ in top

I'm confused, and I can't found source of problem. It's look like performance related issue, but I don't see any simptoms like high CPU loading.
aplay is working fine, but mpd whith same file sometime working tens minutes fine, but sometime long time gets regulary underruns with constant period 11 second which one is independent of the sampling rate. Restarting mpd can sometimes solve the problem, sometimes not. This behaviour repeated on all audio devices - codec, spdif and i2s.
I use many years old armbian version (with kernel 3.4.112) without any issue, but found it with new kernel.
Can anyone show me the right direction?
