1 2 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver 3 ========================================== 4 Configuration guide 5 6 7Kernel Configuration 8==================== 9 10To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with 11primary sound card support (CONFIG_SOUND). Since ALSA can emulate OSS, 12you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules. 13 14Enable "OSS API emulation" (CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL) and both OSS mixer and 15PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA. 16 17If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as 18SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support" 19(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER). 20 21To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk" 22and "Debug" options. To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory" 23too. "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards. 24 25Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API 26(if the card supports ISA PnP). You don't need to configure the cards 27using isapnptools. 28 29 30Creating ALSA devices 31===================== 32 33This depends on your distribution, but normally you use the /dev/MAKEDEV 34script to create the necessary device nodes. On some systems you use a 35script named 'snddevices'. 36 37 38Module parameters 39================= 40 41The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than 42one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can 43specify multiple values for the option separated by commas. 44 45Prior to version 0.9.0rc4 options had a 'snd_' prefix. This was removed. 46 47 Module snd 48 ---------- 49 50 The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers. 51 It takes the following options which have global effects. 52 53 major - major number for sound driver 54 - Default: 116 55 cards_limit 56 - limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8) 57 - Default: 1 58 - For auto-loading more than one card, specify this 59 option together with snd-card-X aliases. 60 61 62 Module snd-pcm-oss 63 ------------------ 64 65 The PCM OSS emulation module. 66 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. 67 68 dsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. 69 - Default: 0 70 adsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. 71 - Default: 1 72 nonblock_open 73 - Don't block opening busy PCM devices. Default: 1 74 75 For example, when dsp_map=2, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of 76 the card #0. Similarly, when adsp_map=0, /dev/adsp will be mapped 77 to PCM #0 of the card #0. 78 For changing the second or later card, specify the option with 79 commas, such like "dsp_map=0,1". 80 81 nonblock_open option is used to change the behavior of the PCM 82 regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero, 83 opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return 84 immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag). 85 86 Module snd-rawmidi 87 ------------------ 88 89 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. 90 similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module. 91 92 midi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. 93 - Default: 0 94 amidi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. 95 - Default: 1 96 97 Common parameters for top sound card modules 98 -------------------------------------------- 99 100 Each of top level sound card module takes the following options. 101 102 index - index (slot #) of sound card 103 - Values: 0 through 31 or negative 104 - If nonnegative, assign that index number 105 - if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible 106 indices; the first free permitted index is assigned 107 - Default: -1 108 id - card ID (identifier or name) 109 - Can be up to 15 characters long 110 - Default: the card type 111 - A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/ 112 containing information about the card 113 - This ID can be used instead of the index number in 114 identifying the card 115 enable - enable card 116 - Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards 117 118 Module snd-adlib 119 ---------------- 120 121 Module for AdLib FM cards. 122 123 port - port # for OPL chip 124 125 This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so 126 the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388. 127 Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM 128 synthesis. 129 130 Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and, 131 after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port 132 number through "sbiload -l". Example output: 133 134 Port Client name Port name 135 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port 136 137 Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload: 138 139 sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb 140 141 If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3 142 instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils: 143 144 aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid 145 146 Module snd-ad1816a 147 ------------------ 148 149 Module for sound cards based on Analog Devices AD1816A/AD1815 ISA chips. 150 151 port - port # for AD1816A chip (PnP setup) 152 mpu_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (PnP setup) 153 fm_port - port # for OPL3 (PnP setup) 154 irq - IRQ # for AD1816A chip (PnP setup) 155 mpu_irq - IRQ # for MPU-401 UART (PnP setup) 156 dma1 - first DMA # for AD1816A chip (PnP setup) 157 dma2 - second DMA # for AD1816A chip (PnP setup) 158 clockfreq - Clock frequency for AD1816A chip (default = 0, 33000Hz) 159 160 This module supports multiple cards, autoprobe and PnP. 161 162 Module snd-ad1848 163 ----------------- 164 165 Module for sound cards based on AD1848/AD1847/CS4248 ISA chips. 166 167 port - port # for AD1848 chip 168 irq - IRQ # for AD1848 chip 169 dma1 - DMA # for AD1848 chip (0,1,3) 170 171 This module supports multiple cards.

When this 1020 model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without 1021 "codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging. 1022 1023 If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above 1024 matches with your device, report it together with the PCI 1025 subsystem ID (output of "lspci -nv") to ALSA BTS or alsa-devel 1026 ML (see the section "Links and Addresses"). 1027 1028 power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving 1029 mode. See powersave.txt for details. 1030 1031 Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option 1032 position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB 1033 register value without FIFO size correction as the current 1034 DMA pointer. position_fix=2 will make the driver to use 1035 the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register. 1036 (Usually SD_LPLIB register is more accurate than the 1037 position buffer.) 1038 1039 NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at 1040 loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq 1041 routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you 1042 can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the 1043 communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the 1044 single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the 1045 single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get 1046 unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently 1047 from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be 1048 avoided as much as possible... 1049 1050 MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS: 1051 On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option 1052 to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead. 1053 This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot 1054 (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio 1055 bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling 1056 CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec 1057 proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option. 1058 For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and 1059 probe_mask=4 means only the third slot. 1060 1061 The power-management is supported. 1062 1063 Module snd-hdsp 1064 --------------- 1065 1066 Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s) 1067 1068 This module supports multiple cards. 1069 1070 Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug 1071 when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set. Otherwise, you need to load 1072 the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools 1073 package. 1074 The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package. 1075 1076 Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem 1077 module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance 1078 when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer 1079 allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early 1080 stage of boot sequence.

This module has no enable option. 1405 1406 Module snd-mts64 1407 ---------------- 1408 1409 Module for Ego Systems (ESI) Miditerminal 4140 1410 1411 This module supports multiple devices. 1412 Requires parport (CONFIG_PARPORT). 1413 1414 Module snd-nm256 1415 ---------------- 1416 1417 Module for NeoMagic NM256AV/ZX chips 1418 1419 playback_bufsize - max playback frame size in kB (4-128kB) 1420 capture_bufsize - max capture frame size in kB (4-128kB) 1421 force_ac97 - 0 or 1 (disabled by default) 1422 buffer_top - specify buffer top address 1423 use_cache - 0 or 1 (disabled by default) 1424 vaio_hack - alias buffer_top=0x25a800 1425 reset_workaround - enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops 1426 reset_workaround2 - enable extended AC97 RESET workaround for some 1427 other laptops 1428 1429 This module supports one chip and autoprobe. 1430 1431 The power-management is supported. 1432 1433 Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected 1434 automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization. 1435 In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via 1436 the buffer_top option. 1437 For example, 1438 Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800 1439 Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800 1440 The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force 1441 to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a 1442 case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it 1443 works! 1444 1445 Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97 1446 codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work 1447 with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips, 1448 even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try 1449 other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP 1450 but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify isapnp=0 1451 and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP. 1452 1453 Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the 1454 known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this 1455 workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a 1456 hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option. 1457 1458 Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding 1459 AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is 1460 turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the 1461 previous reset_workaround option doesn't help. 1462 1463 Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the 1464 OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering. 1465 The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after* 1466 X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load 1467 the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that 1468 you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of 1469 problem. 1470 1471 Module snd-opl3sa2 1472 ------------------ 1473 1474 Module for Yamaha OPL3-SA2/SA3 sound cards. 1475 1476 port - control port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x370) 1477 sb_port - SB port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x220,0x240) 1478 wss_port - WSS port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x530,0xe80,0xf40,0x604) 1479 midi_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (0x300,0x330), -1 = disable 1480 fm_port - FM port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x388), -1 = disable 1481 irq - IRQ # for OPL3-SA chip (5,7,9,10) 1482 dma1 - first DMA # for Yamaha OPL3-SA chip (0,1,3) 1483 dma2 - second DMA # for Yamaha OPL3-SA chip (0,1,3), -1 = disable 1484 isapnp - ISA PnP detection - 0 = disable, 1 = enable (default) 1485 1486 This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP. It does not support 1487 autoprobe (if ISA PnP is not used) thus all ports must be specified!!! 1488 1489 The power-management is supported. 1490 1491 Module snd-opti92x-ad1848 1492 ------------------------- 1493 1494 Module for sound cards based on OPTi 82c92x and Analog Devices AD1848 chips. 1495 Module works with OAK Mozart cards as well. 1496 1497 port - port # for WSS chip (0x530,0xe80,0xf40,0x604) 1498 mpu_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330) 1499 fm_port - port # for OPL3 device (0x388) 1500 irq - IRQ # for WSS chip (5,7,9,10,11) 1501 mpu_irq - IRQ # for MPU-401 UART (5,7,9,10) 1502 dma1 - first DMA # for WSS chip (0,1,3) 1503 1504 This module supports only one card, autoprobe and PnP. 1505 1506 Module snd-opti92x-cs4231 1507 ------------------------- 1508 1509 Module for sound cards based on OPTi 82c92x and Crystal CS4231 chips. 1510 1511 port - port # for WSS chip (0x530,0xe80,0xf40,0x604) 1512 mpu_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330) 1513 fm_port - port # for OPL3 device (0x388) 1514 irq - IRQ # for WSS chip (5,7,9,10,11) 1515 mpu_irq - IRQ # for MPU-401 UART (5,7,9,10) 1516 dma1 - first DMA # for WSS chip (0,1,3) 1517 dma2 - second DMA # for WSS chip (0,1,3) 1518 1519 This module supports only one card, autoprobe and PnP. 1520 1521 Module snd-opti93x 1522 ------------------ 1523 1524 Module for sound cards based on OPTi 82c93x chips. 1525 1526 port - port # for WSS chip (0x530,0xe80,0xf40,0x604) 1527 mpu_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330) 1528 fm_port - port # for OPL3 device (0x388) 1529 irq - IRQ # for WSS chip (5,7,9,10,11) 1530 mpu_irq - IRQ # for MPU-401 UART (5,7,9,10) 1531 dma1 - first DMA # for WSS chip (0,1,3) 1532 dma2 - second DMA # for WSS chip (0,1,3) 1533 1534 This module supports only one card, autoprobe and PnP. 1535 1536 Module snd-pcxhr 1537 ---------------- 1538 1539 Module for Digigram PCXHR boards 1540 1541 This module supports multiple cards. 1542 1543 Module snd-portman2x4 1544 --------------------- 1545 1546 Module for Midiman Portman 2x4 parallel port MIDI interface 1547 1548 This module supports multiple cards. 1549 1550 Module snd-powermac (on ppc only) 1551 --------------------------------- 1552 1553 Module for PowerMac, iMac and iBook on-board soundchips 1554 1555 enable_beep - enable beep using PCM (enabled as default) 1556 1557 Module supports autoprobe a chip. 1558 1559 Note: the driver may have problems regarding endianess. 1560 1561 The power-management is supported. 1562 1563 Module snd-pxa2xx-ac97 (on arm only) 1564 ------------------------------------ 1565 1566 Module for AC97 driver for the Intel PXA2xx chip 1567 1568 For ARM architecture only. 1569 1570 The power-management is supported. 1571 1572 Module snd-riptide 1573 ------------------ 1574 1575 Module for Conexant Riptide chip 1576 1577 joystick_port - Joystick port # (default: 0x200) 1578 mpu_port - MPU401 port # (default: 0x330) 1579 opl3_port - OPL3 port # (default: 0x388) 1580 1581 This module supports multiple cards. 1582 The driver requires the firmware loader support on kernel. 1583 You need to install the firmware file "riptide.hex" to the standard 1584 firmware path (e.g. /lib/firmware). 1585 1586 Module snd-rme32 1587 ---------------- 1588 1589 Module for RME Digi32, Digi32 Pro and Digi32/8 (Sek'd Prodif32, 1590 Prodif96 and Prodif Gold) sound cards. 1591 1592 This module supports multiple cards. 1593 1594 Module snd-rme96 1595 ---------------- 1596 1597 Module for RME Digi96, Digi96/8 and Digi96/8 PRO/PAD/PST sound cards. 1598 1599 This module supports multiple cards. 1600 1601 Module snd-rme9652 1602 ------------------ 1603 1604 Module for RME Digi9652 (Hammerfall, Hammerfall-Light) sound cards. 1605 1606 precise_ptr - Enable precise pointer (doesn't work reliably). 1607 (default = 0) 1608 1609 This module supports multiple cards. 1610 1611 Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem 1612 module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance 1613 when any RME9652 cards are found. To make the buffer 1614 allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early 1615 stage of boot sequence.

The default is to download the 1762 microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for 1763 "default" operation, whatever that means. 1764 debug_default - Debug parameters for card initialization 1765 wait_usecs - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs 1766 (default:150) 1767 This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput 1768 based on my limited experimentation. 1769 If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be 1770 my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us 1771 to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible, 1772 without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole 1773 CPU. 1774 Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status 1775 waits, only about 250 result in a sleep. 1776 sleep_interval - How long to sleep when waiting for reply 1777 (default: 100) 1778 sleep_tries - How many times to try sleeping during a wait 1779 (default: 50) 1780 ospath - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware 1781 (default:wavefront.os) 1782 The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent 1783 version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it 1784 must be installed in the proper path, typically, 1785 /lib/firmware. 1786 reset_time - How long to wait for a reset to take effect 1787 (default:2) 1788 ramcheck_time - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test 1789 (default:20) 1790 osrun_time - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS 1791 (default:10) 1792 1793 This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP. 1794 1795 Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier 1796 version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and 1797 must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware. 1798 Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error 1799 regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel. 1800 1801 Module snd-sonicvibes 1802 --------------------- 1803 1804 Module for S3 SonicVibes PCI sound cards. 1805 * PINE Schubert 32 PCI 1806 1807 reverb - Reverb Enable - 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default) 1808 - SoundCard must have onboard SRAM for this. 1809 mge - Mic Gain Enable - 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default) 1810 1811 This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. 1812 1813 Module snd-serial-u16550 1814 ------------------------ 1815 1816 Module for UART16550A serial MIDI ports. 1817 1818 port - port # for UART16550A chip 1819 irq - IRQ # for UART16550A chip, -1 = poll mode 1820 speed - speed in bauds (9600,19200,38400,57600,115200) 1821 38400 = default 1822 base - base for divisor in bauds (57600,115200,230400,460800) 1823 115200 = default 1824 outs - number of MIDI ports in a serial port (1-4) 1825 1 = default 1826 adaptor - Type of adaptor. 1827 0 = Soundcanvas, 1 = MS-124T, 2 = MS-124W S/A, 1828 3 = MS-124W M/B, 4 = Generic 1829 1830 This module supports multiple cards. This module does not support autoprobe 1831 thus the main port must be specified!!! Other options are optional. 1832 1833 Module snd-trident 1834 ------------------ 1835 1836 Module for Trident 4DWave DX/NX sound cards. 1837 * Best Union Miss Melody 4DWave PCI 1838 * HIS 4DWave PCI 1839 * Warpspeed ONSpeed 4DWave PCI 1840 * AzTech PCI 64-Q3D 1841 * Addonics SV 750 1842 * CHIC True Sound 4Dwave 1843 * Shark Predator4D-PCI 1844 * Jaton SonicWave 4D 1845 1846 pcm_channels - max channels (voices) reserved for PCM 1847 wavetable_size - max wavetable size in kB (4-?kb) 1848 1849 This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. 1850 1851 The power-management is supported. 1852 1853 Module snd-usb-audio 1854 -------------------- 1855 1856 Module for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. 1857 1858 vid - Vendor ID for the device (optional) 1859 pid - Product ID for the device (optional) 1860 device_setup - Device specific magic number (optional) 1861 - Influence depends on the device 1862 - Default: 0x0000 1863 1864 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1865 1866 Module snd-usb-caiaq 1867 -------------------- 1868 1869 Module for caiaq UB audio interfaces, 1870 * Native Instruments RigKontrol2 1871 * Native Instruments Kore Controller 1872 * Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 1873 * Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ 1874 1875 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1876 1877 Module snd-usb-usx2y 1878 -------------------- 1879 1880 Module for Tascam USB US-122, US-224 and US-428 devices. 1881 1882 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1883 1884 Note: you need to load the firmware via usx2yloader utility included 1885 in alsa-tools and alsa-firmware packages. 1886 1887 Module snd-via82xx 1888 ------------------ 1889 1890 Module for AC'97 motherboards based on VIA 82C686A/686B, 8233, 1891 8233A, 8233C, 8235, 8237 (south) bridge. 1892 1893 mpu_port - 0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330, otherwise obtain BIOS setup 1894 [VIA686A/686B only] 1895 joystick - Enable joystick (default off) [VIA686A/686B only] 1896 ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) 1897 dxs_support - support DXS channels, 1898 0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable, 1899 3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample 1900 rate and different sample rates on different 1901 channels 1902 [VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only] 1903 ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware 1904 See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below. 1905 1906 This module supports one chip and autoprobe. 1907 1908 Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might 1909 not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to 1910 set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of 1911 default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be 1912 assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS. 1913 1914 Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound) 1915 channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4 1916 streams can be played at the same time, and the controller 1917 can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for 1918 each channel. 1919 As default (dxs_support = 0), 48k fixed rate is chosen 1920 except for the known devices since the output is often 1921 noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the 1922 bug of BIOS. 1923 Please try once dxs_support=5 and if it works on other 1924 sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us 1925 know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of 1926 "lspci -nv"). 1927 If dxs_support=5 does not work, try dxs_support=4; if it 1928 doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1. (dxs_support=1 is 1929 usually for old motherboards. The correct implemented 1930 board should work with 4 or 5.) If it still doesn't 1931 work and the default setting is ok, dxs_support=3 is the 1932 right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all, 1933 try dxs_support=2 to disable the DXS channels. 1934 In any cases, please let us know the result and the 1935 subsystem vendor/device ids. See "Links and Addresses" 1936 below. 1937 1938 Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver 1939 additionally. The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only. 1940 1941 The power-management is supported. 1942 1943 Module snd-via82xx-modem 1944 ------------------------ 1945 1946 Module for VIA82xx AC97 modem 1947 1948 ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) 1949 1950 This module supports one card and autoprobe. 1951 1952 Note: The default index value of this module is -2, i.e. the first 1953 slot is excluded. 1954 1955 The power-management is supported. 1956 1957 Module snd-virmidi 1958 ------------------ 1959 1960 Module for virtual rawmidi devices. 1961 This module creates virtual rawmidi devices which communicate 1962 to the corresponding ALSA sequencer ports. 1963 1964 midi_devs - MIDI devices # (1-4, default=4) 1965 1966 This module supports multiple cards. 1967 1968 Module snd-vx222 1969 ---------------- 1970 1971 Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX222, V222 v2 and Mic cards. 1972 1973 mic - Enable Microphone on V222 Mic (NYI) 1974 ibl - Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) 1975 1976 This module supports multiple cards. 1977 1978 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware 1979 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. 1980 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. 1981 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the 1982 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke 1983 vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf 1984 1985 install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader 1986 1987 (for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install /usr/bin/vxloader" to 1988 /etc/modules.conf, instead.) 1989 IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size 1990 gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too. 1991 The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest 1992 size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in 1993 /proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file. 1994 1995 The power-management is supported. 1996 1997 Module snd-vxpocket 1998 ------------------- 1999 2000 Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX2 and 440 PCMCIA cards.
2001 2002 ibl - Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) 2003 2004 This module supports multiple cards. The module is compiled only when 2005 PCMCIA is supported on kernel. 2006 2007 With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card 2008 manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf. See the 2009 sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c. 2.6.13 or later kernel requires no 2010 longer require a config file. 2011 2012 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware 2013 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. 2014 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. 2015 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the 2016 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. 2017 2018 About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module. 2019 2020 Note: snd-vxp440 driver is merged to snd-vxpocket driver since 2021 ALSA 1.0.10. 2022 2023 The power-management is supported. 2024 2025 Module snd-ymfpci 2026 ----------------- 2027 2028 Module for Yamaha PCI chips (YMF72x, YMF74x & YMF75x). 2029 2030 mpu_port - 0x300,0x330,0x332,0x334, 0 (disable) by default, 2031 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) 2032 fm_port - 0x388,0x398,0x3a0,0x3a8, 0 (disable) by default 2033 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) 2034 joystick_port - 0x201,0x202,0x204,0x205, 0 (disable) by default, 2035 1 (auto-detect) 2036 rear_switch - enable shared rear/line-in switch (bool) 2037 2038 This module supports autoprobe and multiple chips. 2039 2040 The power-management is supported. 2041 2042 Module snd-pdaudiocf 2043 -------------------- 2044 2045 Module for Sound Core PDAudioCF sound card. 2046 2047 The power-management is supported. 2048 2049 2050AC97 Quirk Option 2051================= 2052 2053The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for 2054specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like 2055snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master 2056and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97 2057specifications from version to version :-) 2058 2059The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices, 2060but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass 2061the proper value with this option. 2062 2063The following strings are accepted: 2064 - default Don't override the default setting 2065 - none Disable the quirk 2066 - hp_only Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control 2067 - swap_hp Swap headphone and master controls 2068 - swap_surround Swap master and surround controls 2069 - ad_sharing For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone 2070 - alc_jack For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode 2071 - inv_eapd Inverted EAPD implementation 2072 - mute_led Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED 2073 2074For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0, 2075... are accepted, too. 2076 2077For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device 2078but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option. 2079 2080 2081Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards 2082============================ 2083 2084When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules 2085supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp". 2086If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed. 2087For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option 2088together with the proper i/o and irq configuration. 2089 2090When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option 2091will be not built in. 2092 2093 2094Module Autoloading Support 2095========================== 2096 2097The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining 2098module aliases. The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native 2099devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven. 2100 2101To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string 2102'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which 2103corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this 2104as the same card module. 2105 2106An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below: 2107----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2108alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 2109alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 2110----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2111 2112The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module 2113option "cards_limit" of snd module. As default it's set to 1. 2114To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of 2115sound cards in that option. 2116 2117When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index 2118number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of 2119cards is kept consistent. 2120 2121An example configuration for two sound cards is like below: 2122 2123----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2124# ALSA portion 2125options snd cards_limit=2 2126alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave 2127alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 2128options snd-interwave index=0 2129options snd-ens1371 index=1 2130# OSS/Free portion 2131alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave 2132alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371 2133----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2134 2135In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card 2136(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1). 2137 2138 2139ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping 2140======================================= 2141 2142/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4 2143/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3 2144/dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12 2145/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20 2146/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19 2147/dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28 2148/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36 2149/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39 2150/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44 2151 2152The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means 2153sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices 2154have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and 2155playback, respectively. 2156 2157Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module 2158options of snd-pcm-oss module. 2159 2160 2161Proc interfaces (/proc/asound) 2162============================== 2163 2164/proc/asound/card#/pcm#[cp]/oss 2165------------------------------- 2166 String "erase" - erase all additional informations about OSS applications 2167 String "<app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]" 2168 2169 <app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path 2170 <fragments> - number of fragments or zero if auto 2171 <fragment_size> - size of fragment in bytes or zero if auto 2172 <options> - optional parameters 2173 - disable the application tries to open a pcm device for 2174 this channel but does not want to use it. 2175 (Cause a bug or mmap needs) 2176 It's good for Quake etc... 2177 - direct don't use plugins 2178 - block force block mode (rvplayer) 2179 - non-block force non-block mode 2180 - whole-frag write only whole fragments (optimization affecting 2181 playback only) 2182 - no-silence do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks 2183 - buggy-ptr Returns the whitespace blocks in GETOPTR ioctl 2184 instead of filled blocks 2185 2186 Example: echo "x11amp 128 16384" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss 2187 echo "squake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss 2188 echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss 2189 2190 2191Early Buffer Allocation 2192======================= 2193 2194Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and 2195sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is 2196actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the 2197PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its 2198proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like 2199/etc/init.d/*.local scripts. 2200 2201Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current 2202usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following 2203commands to the snd-page-alloc driver: 2204 2205 - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS 2206 2207 VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take 2208 integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex). 2209 MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted. 2210 SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass 2211 k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB. 2212 BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater 2213 than 0. The max number is 4. 2214 2215 - erase 2216 2217 This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in 2218 use. 2219 2220 2221Links and Addresses 2222=================== 2223 2224 ALSA project homepage 2225 http://www.alsa-project.org 2226 2227 ALSA Bug Tracking System 2228 https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/bugs/ 2229 2230 ALSA Developers ML 2231 mailto:alsa-devel@alsa-project.org 2232
