CL-SOM-iMX7 provides an analog audio interface, which is registered as a standard ALSA sound card. Use aplay -l to list all soundcards and digital audio devices registered on the system:

root@cl-rootfs:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: clsomimx7 [cl-som-imx7], device 0: 308a0000.sai-wm8731-hifi wm8731-hifi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Analog Audio Settings

To enable the Analog audio playback, alsamixer or amixer applications can be used.

  • alsamixer - set the “Output Mixer HiFi” control on.

or

  • amixer - set the “Output Mixer HiFi Playback Switch” control on using command line interface:
root@cl-rootfs:~# amixer cset numid=14 1
numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Output Mixer HiFi Playback Switch'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
  : values=on

Analog Audio Playback

In order to play back a sound file make use of the aplay application.

  • aplay -L can be used for listing of all pcm devices.

Here is a sample output of aplay -L command:

root@cl-rootfs:~# aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=clsomimx7
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=clsomimx7
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Default Audio Device
dmix:CARD=clsomimx7,DEV=0
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Direct sample mixing device
dsnoop:CARD=clsomimx7,DEV=0
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Direct sample snooping device
hw:CARD=clsomimx7,DEV=0
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=clsomimx7,DEV=0
    cl-som-imx7, 
    Hardware device with all software conversions

The next command can be used for audio play back:

root@cl-rootfs:~# aplay <wav-file>

Audio Input Settings

CL-SOM-iMX7 provides an audio capturing feature from either Mic or Line In input sources. alsamixer or amixer can be used in order to switch between these inputs.

Mic
  • alsamixer
Capture Volume => 100
Line Capture Switch => off
Mic Capture Switch => on
Input Mux => Mic
  • amixer
amixer cset numid=3 31
amixer cset numid=4 0
amixer cset numid=6 1
amixer cset numid=11 1
Line In
  • alsamixer
Capture Volume => 100
Line Capture Switch => on
Mic Capture Switch => off
Input Mux => Line In
  • amixer
amixer cset numid=3 31
amixer cset numid=4 1
amixer cset numid=6 0
amixer cset numid=11 0

Sample Audio Recording

As soon as the correct input values have been set, audio signal can be captured. Here is a sample command that shows the arecord usage for capturing audio signal from the selected input line.

root@cl-rootfs:~# arecord -f dat -t wav /tmp/out.wav
