As Force is running under linux, it is possible to get verbose debug messages by enabling dynamic debug functions. To do this you can get list of avalaible functions in /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control (Cat this file to see it ). Then to enable debug you can do : echo "file *soc-pcm* +pflmt" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control Some other example : echo "file *midi* +pflmt" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control echo "file *codec* +pflmt" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control then run dmesg -w thats all :)
