Impact
Index Technology CR Fixed bug description
category
1. Audio Function/Feature 336005 QACT fails to connect to MSM8960.WA ACDB rel 1.2 target
Failure (Partial) Problem description
QACT fails to connect to a MSM8960.WA ACDB rel 1.2 target in Online mode.
Failure frequency: Every Time
Scenario frequency: Common
Change description
Fixed QACT not to query MBHC data from Global2 table, since it does not exist in 8960.WA rel
1.2 ACDB.
No side effect from this change is anticipated.

Bugs and Limitations
Impact
category
2. Audio Function/Feature 336225 Fluence Pro/Fluence v5 specialized view cannot set value
In QACT v2.8.17, Fluence Pro and Fluence v5 specialized view, changing checkboxes for mode
and all advanced parameters cannot be set correctly.
Change description
Linked the instance with mode and advanced parameters on UI, so that they can be set correctly.
3. Audio Function/Feature 337103 ICS - Cannot convert GBs acdb to .c file with latest QACT
Audio COPP topology DualMicFluence was not applied to dual mic devices in Conversion
Wizard, resulting in QACT being unable to save the converted acdb file to a .c file.
Change description
Fixed the Conversion Wizard that caused the problem.
4. Audio Function/Feature 338258 QACT unable to set data for SET_WNR to DSP in Fluence RTC
In Fluence RTC, QACT is not able to set data for SET_WNR to the DSP. After Mode is changed
to 0xF9F3 and user clicks Set, SET_WNR should be enabled. In addition, after Mode is changed
to 0xFDF3 and user clicks Set, SET_WNR should be disabled. However, no matter what value is
set for Mode in RTC, there is no change for SET_WNR.
Change description
Hide SET_WNR from QACT UI. For get/set functionality, its behavior should be same as for
other ParamIDs.

Impact
category
5. Audio Function/Feature 339581 Need to allow negative button voltage value in QACT
In MBHC, the following two arrays cannot be set as negative values:
- MBHC_VButLow[MBHC_NumBut]
- MBHC_VButHigh[MBHC_NumBut]
Change description
Updated the value range for following two arrays to -3000 ~ 3000:
- MBHC_VButLow[MBHC_NumBut]
- MBHC_VButHigh[MBHC_NumBut]
6. Audio Function/Feature 339739 QACT unable to open workspace files created in QACT v2.8.16 and earlier.
QACT cannot open workspace files created in QACT v2.8.16 and earlier due to unmatched
names in the file.
Change description
When QACT opens a workspace file created in QACT v2.8.16 and earlier, it automatically fixes
the unmatched names.

Impact
category
7. Audio Function/Feature 339744 Voice DRC specialized view to have hard-coding for downsamplelevel changed from 8 to 1 and
Failure (Partial) allow field to be editable
Problem description
The downsamplelevel is not a part of DSP voice DRC interface. It is only a UI parameter in
QACT. Before it was hardcoded as 8 on the DSP. In QACT DRC specialized view, it is also hard
coded as 8 and read-only. However, it has been changed to 1 instead of 8 on the DSP. It should
be updated in QACT to match.
Change description
Changed downsamplelevel default value to 1. Also, to make DRC specialized view backward
compatible, needed to make it editable for customers, so that for old DSP tuning, 8 still can be
used as the downsamplelevel.
Files affected
MBDRCDataPanel.cs
8. Audio Function/Feature 339852 AF coeffs spec view of Echo canceller not updating correctly in RTC mode
AF coeffs spec view of Echo canceller is not updating correctly in RTC mode. The query to get
NLMS_Taps was failing since the parameter name was recently updated to AF_Taps
Change description
Updated AF coeffs spec view to correctly query AF_Taps.
9. Audio Function/Feature 339874 QACT unable to push AFE common data in Online mode
QACT was not handling the case to set AFE common data in Online mode.
Change description
Updated QACT to handle setting AFE common data in Online mode.

Impact
category
10. Audio User Experience 336053 In MSM8960 single mic voice RTC, AF_Coeffs graphic view shows the first point for 'reserved'
Problem description
In MSM8960 single mic voice RTC, AF_Coeffs graphic view shows the first point for 'reserved'.
The 'reserved' is an int16 value after numbOfTaps, which exists in single mic topology only.
Sometimes, it contains an unusual value instead of '0' in the DSP. This may cause the AF_Coeffs
graphic to look incorrect.
Change description
Updated AF_Coeffs view to skip 'reserved' value for single mic and tri-mic topologies.

2 3.3 Limitations
3 This release has the following limitations:
4  MBADRC and MBDRC crossover frequency points are not persisted to the QACT™ workspace file.
5  In RTC, voice samplerate cannot be obtained. HPF module may show an error message since cut_off_freq could not be identified
6 without the correct voice samplerate.
