STM32F7 discovery audio line-in

Hi.

I've started to play with STM32F7 discovery. I got to DSP audio example from hands-on and I would like to use line-in instead of microphones. Unfortunately when I've changed

BSP_AUDIO_IN_OUT_Init(INPUT_DEVICE_DIGITAL_MICROPHONE_2, OUTPUT_DEVICE_HEADPHONE, 90, DEFAULT_AUDIO_IN_FREQ);

to

BSP_AUDIO_IN_OUT_Init(INPUT_DEVICE_INPUT_LINE_1, OUTPUT_DEVICE_HEADPHONE, 90, DEFAULT_AUDIO_IN_FREQ);

Only thing that's coming is noise. Could anyone help me to get line-in working? Best regards Konrad #https://github.com/laurent-lator #stm32f7-audio

Maybe you are right about the ''signal'' being just crosstalk.

But I find nothing in the codec manual that indicates single-ended line one cannot be be digitized and output through AIF1DAT and reintroduced through AIF1DAC.Nice job getting EmBitz up and running quickly.

Posted on November 07, 2015 at 18:41I used Emblocks a couple of years ago for another dev board.Unfortunately, I am still having the same issues with Embitz debugger and the ST-Link interface. I get ''Debugger exited with status 1'' and then the degugger screen closes. Seems to be a Windows 8.1 problem. I tried the various attemts to fix it (mostly from the emblocks website forum) but still can't debug at this point. So I have to build, and then load the HEX file manually to the board using ST-Link Utility for now.I am getting to the point where I'm thinking of just sending Wolfson Audio an email to ask them what is going on with this codec. I had a similar problem to this on another board a while ago (with an earlier WM codec chip). The codec manual seems to be missing some info, it almost seems like an internal bug with the silicon or something.

I'm looking into using an Olimex STM32F405 header board with an external codec (not a wm8994) for my audio project.

Posted on November 07, 2015 at 21:24 You might try the STLinkGDB version from Sep this year. It works OK for me. ________________ Attachments : STLinkGDB.zip : https://st--c.eu10.content.force.com/sfc/dist/version/download/?oid=00Db0000000YtG6&ids=0680X000006Hzj2&d=%2Fa%2F0X0000000bOj%2FnN4L0JCV.VBlN__elL2BOmwyPAz4YrV6M.hZFOrQ8yc&asPdf=false

For now, I am looking into using the PWM pins on the Arduino header to use as audio output. The good thing, many PWM pins available. The bad thing, low resolution, poor freq response, and high CPU usage

If you want to do output without input, you might try this demo code that outputs synthesized sound to the headphone.

I tried out your app here on the 32F746 board. Works very solidly! That's very well written code.

I wrote very basic midi-triggered sample-playback code on the STM32F407 & STM32F429 discovery boards, but I always lacked the knowledge of how to apply filters to the output. Then I came across this guy who coded a fully-functioning Monophonic Subtractive Synth with Midi control. Check it out. It has a very well written synth engine (synth.c). Very easy to adapt to new boards.

Demonstration video:

I modded that code to run more than one instance of the synth engine and added a mixer to blend all the voices to mono. I could get 4 simultaneous voices, but that was with  > 95% of the CPU usage, and it became very unstable.I was hoping to try to adapt this code to the 32F746 board to see if it would run smoother and with possibly more voices. Unfortunately I lost my entire project to a faulty backup drive, so maybe I will just try to piece it together again from scratch.

Hi guys

Did anybody find the answer of how to solve the problem with the line in on the same timeslot ...I need to take sound in on that plug and use the ear plug to play when it have been filtered ...My code is working very fine with the mics but i can not see how to setup the wm8994 ....anybody have the answer ?Hjalmar

Hi Hjalmar,

I was never able to get the input jack to work without noise.

Try this configuration:

BSP_AUDIO_IN_OUT_Init(INPUT_DEVICE_INPUT_LINE_1, OUTPUT_DEVICE_HEADPHONE, 70, DEFAULT_AUDIO_IN_FREQ);
 Do not set volume over 70!
