Re: FW: Re: reading values from aic23d codec in c6713 dsk

             Hi again,

                   what I mean whith SOUND, is just that, a noise going out from the two loudspeakers. I am using the classic computer loudspeakers plugged to the OUTPUT pin. You know, they have a jack connector which goes directly from one of the loudspeakers, while the other one connects only whith this first. My question was that if is the same thing to talk about stereo codec, two channels ,... and to talk about two loudspeakers connected to the OUTPUT line. If this is true, when I set rightch to 0x00000000, right loudspeaker should be off, isn't it??

             Thanks for all,

         Pablo L.

Pablo-
 

               I have followed your advices again and I have kept the second DSK6713_AIC23_write();. The results haven't been what you told me. I have thought that the problem might be in hardware. I am using loudspeakers (left and right) to hear the "sounds" from the board. So, withe the changes you suggested me, I expected to hear noise in lefch and nothing in rightch. Unfortunately, I hear sound by both and I don't understand why.

1) Does loudspeakers separate sound of the two channels, I mean, rightch matches with right loudspeaker and lefch matches with left one?? (I add the code)

The code below looks Ok to me.  What do you mean by "sound" -- a sine wave?  And if so, do you hear it as pure and non-distored?  What is the frequency if you measure it with a scope?  Are the 2 channels identical?
 

2) Can I produce a song with CCS and reproduce it with AIC23??

Sure, store it ahead of time in SDRAM  memory and treat it like the sine table when code runs.  At 8 kHz sampling rate, 16 Mbyte of SDRAM would give you 16 min of music, 4 min at 32 kHz sampling rate, etc.  But you need to make sure the .wav file or other source contains data with sampling rate that matches what you program the AIC23B, otherwise you will hear distortion.
 

3) Why is neccesary to use while (!DSK6713_AIC23_write( , )); instead of DSK6713_AIC23_write( , );?? What are the differences??

You have to wait for the AIC23B to be ready to accept the next sample.  If you put a counter inside:

  wait_count = 0;
  while (!DSK6713_AIC23_write(...)) {
    wait_count++
  }

then you can see it takes a while to "consume" the sampling period and be ready to output the next sample.

      for (msec = 0; msec < 5000 ; msec++)
      {  for (sample = 0; sample < SINE_TABLE_SIZE; sample++)
         {  leftch = sinetable[sample];
           rightch=0x00000000;

           while (!DSK6713_AIC23_write(hCodec, leftch)); /* write left ch */
           while(!DSK6713_AIC23_write(hCodec, rightch)); /* write right ch */
            }
        }

  }            [...]

With only one line, you are alternating writes to left and write channels. That cuts
the sampling rate in half, and also "splits out" on two channels what you expect to
hear on just one channel.

What you should try is keep the second DSK6713_AIC23_write() call but set rch to
zero. Then you should hear "nothing" on the right channel.

Even though lch and rch are ints (int32), they only contain 16-bit signed codec
values. To reflect this, the Spectrum Digital APIs should be called:

DSK6713_AIC23_write16()
DSK6713_AIC23_read16()

as they are with other DSKs, but unfortunately for DSK 6713 they are not.
