ABSTRACT:
A data processing device uses a portion of random access memory 121 as an output buffer 124 for holding a portion of a stream of PCM data which is to be output to a digital to analog converter 530. D/A 530 forms a left analog channel and a right analog channel for speaker subsystems 814 and 815. The PCM data stream is stored in the output buffer so that PCM data samples which pertain to the left channel are stored at even address and PCM data samples which pertain to the right channel are stored at odd address. Control circuitry 145 monitors direct memory access (DMA) transfers which transfer PCM data samples to PCM serializer 142. By comparing the address of each DMA transfer to a left/right channel signal from the D/A, the control circuitry can verify that channel synchronization is correct. If a synchronization error is detected, an channel synchronization error correction procedure is invoked.
