commit c02f77d32d2c45cfb1b2bb99eabd8a78f5ecc7db upstream. A long-time problem on the recent AMD chip (X370, X470, B450, etc with PCI ID 1022:1457) with Realtek codecs is the crackled or distorted sound for capture streams, as well as occasional playback hiccups. After lengthy debugging sessions, the workarounds we've found are like the following: - Set up the proper driver caps for this controller, similar as the other AMD controller. - Correct the DMA position reporting with the fixed FIFO size, which is similar like as workaround used for VIA chip set. - Even after the position correction, PulseAudio still shows mysterious stalls of playback streams when a capture is triggered in timer-scheduled mode. Since we have no clear way to eliminate the stall, pass the BATCH PCM flag for PA to suppress the tsched mode as a temporary workaround. This patch implements the workarounds. For the driver caps, it defines a new preset, AXZ_DCAPS_PRESET_AMD_SB. It enables the FIFO- corrected position reporting (corresponding to the new position_fix=6) and enforces the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH flag. Note that the current implementation is merely a workaround. Hopefully we'll find a better alternative in future, especially about removing the BATCH flag hack again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
