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 slots - Reserve the slot index for the given driver. 61 This option takes multiple strings. 62 See "Module Autoloading Support" section for details. 63 64 Module snd-pcm-oss 65 ------------------ 66 67 The PCM OSS emulation module. 68 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. 69 70 dsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. 71 - Default: 0 72 adsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. 73 - Default: 1 74 nonblock_open 75 - Don't block opening busy PCM devices. Default: 1 76 77 For example, when dsp_map=2, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of 78 the card #0. Similarly, when adsp_map=0, /dev/adsp will be mapped 79 to PCM #0 of the card #0. 80 For changing the second or later card, specify the option with 81 commas, such like "dsp_map=0,1". 82 83 nonblock_open option is used to change the behavior of the PCM 84 regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero, 85 opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return 86 immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag). 87 88 Module snd-rawmidi 89 ------------------ 90 91 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. 92 similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module. 93 94 midi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. 95 - Default: 0 96 amidi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. 97 - Default: 1 98 99 Common parameters for top sound card modules 100 -------------------------------------------- 101 102 Each of top level sound card module takes the following options. 103 104 index - index (slot #) of sound card 105 - Values: 0 through 31 or negative 106 - If nonnegative, assign that index number 107 - if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible 108 indices; the first free permitted index is assigned 109 - Default: -1 110 id - card ID (identifier or name) 111 - Can be up to 15 characters long 112 - Default: the card type 113 - A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/ 114 containing information about the card 115 - This ID can be used instead of the index number in 116 identifying the card 117 enable - enable card 118 - Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards 119 120 Module snd-adlib 121 ---------------- 122 123 Module for AdLib FM cards. 124 125 port - port # for OPL chip 126 127 This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so 128 the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388. 129 Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM 130 synthesis. 131 132 Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and, 133 after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port 134 number through "sbiload -l". Example output: 135 136 Port Client name Port name 137 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port 138 139 Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload: 140 141 sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb 142 143 If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3 144 instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils: 145 146 aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid 147 148 Module snd-ad1816a 149 ------------------ 150 151 Module for sound cards based on Analog Devices AD1816A/AD1815 ISA chips. 152 153 clockfreq - Clock frequency for AD1816A chip (default = 0, 33000Hz) 154 155 This module supports multiple cards, autoprobe and PnP. 156 157 Module snd-ad1848 158 ----------------- 159 160 Module for sound cards based on AD1848/AD1847/CS4248 ISA chips. 161 162 port - port # for AD1848 chip 163 irq - IRQ # for AD1848 chip 164 dma1 - DMA # for AD1848 chip (0,1,3) 165 166 This module supports multiple cards.

When this 1026 model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without 1027 "codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging. 1028 1029 If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above 1030 matches with your device, report it together with the PCI 1031 subsystem ID (output of "lspci -nv") to ALSA BTS or alsa-devel 1032 ML (see the section "Links and Addresses"). 1033 1034 power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving 1035 mode. See powersave.txt for details. 1036 1037 Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option 1038 position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB 1039 register value without FIFO size correction as the current 1040 DMA pointer. position_fix=2 will make the driver to use 1041 the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register. 1042 (Usually SD_LPLIB register is more accurate than the 1043 position buffer.) 1044 1045 NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at 1046 loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq 1047 routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you 1048 can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the 1049 communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the 1050 single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the 1051 single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get 1052 unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently 1053 from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be 1054 avoided as much as possible... 1055 1056 MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS: 1057 On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option 1058 to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead. 1059 This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot 1060 (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio 1061 bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling 1062 CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec 1063 proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option. 1064 For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and 1065 probe_mask=4 means only the third slot. 1066 1067 The power-management is supported. 1068 1069 Module snd-hdsp 1070 --------------- 1071 1072 Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s) 1073 1074 This module supports multiple cards. 1075 1076 Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug 1077 when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set. Otherwise, you need to load 1078 the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools 1079 package. 1080 The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package. 1081 1082 Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem 1083 module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance 1084 when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer 1085 allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early 1086 stage of boot sequence.

This module has no enable option. 1431 1432 Module snd-mts64 1433 ---------------- 1434 1435 Module for Ego Systems (ESI) Miditerminal 4140 1436 1437 This module supports multiple devices. 1438 Requires parport (CONFIG_PARPORT). 1439 1440 Module snd-nm256 1441 ---------------- 1442 1443 Module for NeoMagic NM256AV/ZX chips 1444 1445 playback_bufsize - max playback frame size in kB (4-128kB) 1446 capture_bufsize - max capture frame size in kB (4-128kB) 1447 force_ac97 - 0 or 1 (disabled by default) 1448 buffer_top - specify buffer top address 1449 use_cache - 0 or 1 (disabled by default) 1450 vaio_hack - alias buffer_top=0x25a800 1451 reset_workaround - enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops 1452 reset_workaround2 - enable extended AC97 RESET workaround for some 1453 other laptops 1454 1455 This module supports one chip and autoprobe. 1456 1457 The power-management is supported. 1458 1459 Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected 1460 automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization. 1461 In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via 1462 the buffer_top option. 1463 For example, 1464 Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800 1465 Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800 1466 The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force 1467 to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a 1468 case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it 1469 works! 1470 1471 Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97 1472 codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work 1473 with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips, 1474 even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try 1475 other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP 1476 but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify isapnp=0 1477 and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP. 1478 1479 Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the 1480 known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this 1481 workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a 1482 hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option. 1483 1484 Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding 1485 AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is 1486 turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the 1487 previous reset_workaround option doesn't help. 1488 1489 Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the 1490 OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering. 1491 The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after* 1492 X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load 1493 the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that 1494 you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of 1495 problem. 1496 1497 Module snd-opl3sa2 1498 ------------------ 1499 1500 Module for Yamaha OPL3-SA2/SA3 sound cards. 1501 1502 isapnp - ISA PnP detection - 0 = disable, 1 = enable (default) 1503 1504 with isapnp=0, the following options are available: 1505 1506 port - control port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x370) 1507 sb_port - SB port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x220,0x240) 1508 wss_port - WSS port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x530,0xe80,0xf40,0x604) 1509 midi_port - port # for MPU-401 UART (0x300,0x330), -1 = disable 1510 fm_port - FM port # for OPL3-SA chip (0x388), -1 = disable 1511 irq - IRQ # for OPL3-SA chip (5,7,9,10) 1512 dma1 - first DMA # for Yamaha OPL3-SA chip (0,1,3) 1513 dma2 - second DMA # for Yamaha OPL3-SA chip (0,1,3), -1 = disable 1514 1515 This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.

The default is to download the 1825 microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for 1826 "default" operation, whatever that means. 1827 debug_default - Debug parameters for card initialization 1828 wait_usecs - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs 1829 (default:150) 1830 This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput 1831 based on my limited experimentation. 1832 If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be 1833 my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us 1834 to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible, 1835 without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole 1836 CPU. 1837 Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status 1838 waits, only about 250 result in a sleep. 1839 sleep_interval - How long to sleep when waiting for reply 1840 (default: 100) 1841 sleep_tries - How many times to try sleeping during a wait 1842 (default: 50) 1843 ospath - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware 1844 (default:wavefront.os) 1845 The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent 1846 version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it 1847 must be installed in the proper path, typically, 1848 /lib/firmware. 1849 reset_time - How long to wait for a reset to take effect 1850 (default:2) 1851 ramcheck_time - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test 1852 (default:20) 1853 osrun_time - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS 1854 (default:10) 1855 1856 This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP. 1857 1858 Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier 1859 version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and 1860 must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware. 1861 Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error 1862 regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel. 1863 1864 Module snd-sonicvibes 1865 --------------------- 1866 1867 Module for S3 SonicVibes PCI sound cards. 1868 * PINE Schubert 32 PCI 1869 1870 reverb - Reverb Enable - 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default) 1871 - SoundCard must have onboard SRAM for this. 1872 mge - Mic Gain Enable - 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default) 1873 1874 This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. 1875 1876 Module snd-serial-u16550 1877 ------------------------ 1878 1879 Module for UART16550A serial MIDI ports. 1880 1881 port - port # for UART16550A chip 1882 irq - IRQ # for UART16550A chip, -1 = poll mode 1883 speed - speed in bauds (9600,19200,38400,57600,115200) 1884 38400 = default 1885 base - base for divisor in bauds (57600,115200,230400,460800) 1886 115200 = default 1887 outs - number of MIDI ports in a serial port (1-4) 1888 1 = default 1889 adaptor - Type of adaptor. 1890 0 = Soundcanvas, 1 = MS-124T, 2 = MS-124W S/A, 1891 3 = MS-124W M/B, 4 = Generic 1892 1893 This module supports multiple cards. This module does not support autoprobe 1894 thus the main port must be specified!!! Other options are optional. 1895 1896 Module snd-trident 1897 ------------------ 1898 1899 Module for Trident 4DWave DX/NX sound cards. 1900 * Best Union Miss Melody 4DWave PCI 1901 * HIS 4DWave PCI 1902 * Warpspeed ONSpeed 4DWave PCI 1903 * AzTech PCI 64-Q3D 1904 * Addonics SV 750 1905 * CHIC True Sound 4Dwave 1906 * Shark Predator4D-PCI 1907 * Jaton SonicWave 4D 1908 1909 pcm_channels - max channels (voices) reserved for PCM 1910 wavetable_size - max wavetable size in kB (4-?kb) 1911 1912 This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. 1913 1914 The power-management is supported. 1915 1916 Module snd-usb-audio 1917 -------------------- 1918 1919 Module for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. 1920 1921 vid - Vendor ID for the device (optional) 1922 pid - Product ID for the device (optional) 1923 device_setup - Device specific magic number (optional) 1924 - Influence depends on the device 1925 - Default: 0x0000 1926 1927 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1928 1929 Module snd-usb-caiaq 1930 -------------------- 1931 1932 Module for caiaq UB audio interfaces, 1933 * Native Instruments RigKontrol2 1934 * Native Instruments Kore Controller 1935 * Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 1936 * Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ 1937 1938 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1939 1940 Module snd-usb-usx2y 1941 -------------------- 1942 1943 Module for Tascam USB US-122, US-224 and US-428 devices. 1944 1945 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. 1946 1947 Note: you need to load the firmware via usx2yloader utility included 1948 in alsa-tools and alsa-firmware packages. 1949 1950 Module snd-via82xx 1951 ------------------ 1952 1953 Module for AC'97 motherboards based on VIA 82C686A/686B, 8233, 1954 8233A, 8233C, 8235, 8237 (south) bridge. 1955 1956 mpu_port - 0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330, otherwise obtain BIOS setup 1957 [VIA686A/686B only] 1958 joystick - Enable joystick (default off) [VIA686A/686B only] 1959 ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) 1960 dxs_support - support DXS channels, 1961 0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable, 1962 3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample 1963 rate and different sample rates on different 1964 channels 1965 [VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only] 1966 ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware 1967 See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below. 1968 1969 This module supports one chip and autoprobe. 1970 1971 Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might 1972 not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to 1973 set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of 1974 default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be 1975 assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS. 1976 1977 Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound) 1978 channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4 1979 streams can be played at the same time, and the controller 1980 can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for 1981 each channel. 1982 As default (dxs_support = 0), 48k fixed rate is chosen 1983 except for the known devices since the output is often 1984 noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the 1985 bug of BIOS. 1986 Please try once dxs_support=5 and if it works on other 1987 sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us 1988 know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of 1989 "lspci -nv"). 1990 If dxs_support=5 does not work, try dxs_support=4; if it 1991 doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1. (dxs_support=1 is 1992 usually for old motherboards. The correct implemented 1993 board should work with 4 or 5.) If it still doesn't 1994 work and the default setting is ok, dxs_support=3 is the 1995 right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all, 1996 try dxs_support=2 to disable the DXS channels. 1997 In any cases, please let us know the result and the 1998 subsystem vendor/device ids. See "Links and Addresses" 1999 below. 2000
2001 Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver 2002 additionally. The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only. 2003 2004 The power-management is supported. 2005 2006 Module snd-via82xx-modem 2007 ------------------------ 2008 2009 Module for VIA82xx AC97 modem 2010 2011 ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) 2012 2013 This module supports one card and autoprobe. 2014 2015 Note: The default index value of this module is -2, i.e. the first 2016 slot is excluded. 2017 2018 The power-management is supported. 2019 2020 Module snd-virmidi 2021 ------------------ 2022 2023 Module for virtual rawmidi devices. 2024 This module creates virtual rawmidi devices which communicate 2025 to the corresponding ALSA sequencer ports. 2026 2027 midi_devs - MIDI devices # (1-4, default=4) 2028 2029 This module supports multiple cards. 2030 2031 Module snd-virtuoso 2032 ------------------- 2033 2034 Module for sound cards based on the Asus AV200 chip, i.e., 2035 Xonar D2 and Xonar D2X. 2036 2037 This module supports autoprobe and multiple cards. 2038 2039 Power management is _not_ supported. 2040 2041 Module snd-vx222 2042 ---------------- 2043 2044 Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX222, V222 v2 and Mic cards. 2045 2046 mic - Enable Microphone on V222 Mic (NYI) 2047 ibl - Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) 2048 2049 This module supports multiple cards. 2050 2051 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware 2052 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. 2053 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. 2054 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the 2055 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke 2056 vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf 2057 2058 install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader 2059 2060 (for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install /usr/bin/vxloader" to 2061 /etc/modules.conf, instead.) 2062 IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size 2063 gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too. 2064 The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest 2065 size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in 2066 /proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file. 2067 2068 The power-management is supported. 2069 2070 Module snd-vxpocket 2071 ------------------- 2072 2073 Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX2 and 440 PCMCIA cards. 2074 2075 ibl - Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) 2076 2077 This module supports multiple cards. The module is compiled only when 2078 PCMCIA is supported on kernel. 2079 2080 With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card 2081 manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf. See the 2082 sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c. 2.6.13 or later kernel requires no 2083 longer require a config file. 2084 2085 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware 2086 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. 2087 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. 2088 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the 2089 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. 2090 2091 About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module. 2092 2093 Note: snd-vxp440 driver is merged to snd-vxpocket driver since 2094 ALSA 1.0.10. 2095 2096 The power-management is supported. 2097 2098 Module snd-ymfpci 2099 ----------------- 2100 2101 Module for Yamaha PCI chips (YMF72x, YMF74x & YMF75x). 2102 2103 mpu_port - 0x300,0x330,0x332,0x334, 0 (disable) by default, 2104 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) 2105 fm_port - 0x388,0x398,0x3a0,0x3a8, 0 (disable) by default 2106 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) 2107 joystick_port - 0x201,0x202,0x204,0x205, 0 (disable) by default, 2108 1 (auto-detect) 2109 rear_switch - enable shared rear/line-in switch (bool) 2110 2111 This module supports autoprobe and multiple chips. 2112 2113 The power-management is supported. 2114 2115 Module snd-pdaudiocf 2116 -------------------- 2117 2118 Module for Sound Core PDAudioCF sound card. 2119 2120 The power-management is supported. 2121 2122 2123AC97 Quirk Option 2124================= 2125 2126The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for 2127specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like 2128snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master 2129and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97 2130specifications from version to version :-) 2131 2132The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices, 2133but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass 2134the proper value with this option. 2135 2136The following strings are accepted: 2137 - default Don't override the default setting 2138 - none Disable the quirk 2139 - hp_only Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control 2140 - swap_hp Swap headphone and master controls 2141 - swap_surround Swap master and surround controls 2142 - ad_sharing For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone 2143 - alc_jack For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode 2144 - inv_eapd Inverted EAPD implementation 2145 - mute_led Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED 2146 2147For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0, 2148... are accepted, too. 2149 2150For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device 2151but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option. 2152 2153 2154Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards 2155============================ 2156 2157When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules 2158supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp". 2159If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed. 2160For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option 2161together with the proper i/o and irq configuration. 2162 2163When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option 2164will be not built in. 2165 2166 2167Module Autoloading Support 2168========================== 2169 2170The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining 2171module aliases. The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native 2172devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven. 2173 2174To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string 2175'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which 2176corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this 2177as the same card module. 2178 2179An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below: 2180----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2181alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 2182alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 2183----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2184 2185The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module 2186option "cards_limit" of snd module. As default it's set to 1. 2187To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of 2188sound cards in that option. 2189 2190When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index 2191number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of 2192cards is kept consistent. 2193 2194An example configuration for two sound cards is like below: 2195 2196----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2197# ALSA portion 2198options snd cards_limit=2 2199alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave 2200alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 2201options snd-interwave index=0 2202options snd-ens1371 index=1 2203# OSS/Free portion 2204alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave 2205alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371 2206----- /etc/modprobe.conf 2207 2208In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card 2209(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1). 2210 2211Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use 2212"slots" option of snd module. In the case above, specify like the 2213following: 2214 2215options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371 2216 2217Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and 2218the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each 2219driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at 2220the same time as long as they don't conflict). 2221 2222The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible 2223hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the 2224case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any 2225other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or 2226snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot. 2227 2228 2229ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping 2230======================================= 2231 2232/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4 2233/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3 2234/dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12 2235/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20 2236/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19 2237/dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28 2238/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36 2239/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39 2240/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44 2241 2242The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means 2243sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices 2244have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and 2245playback, respectively. 2246 2247Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module 2248options of snd-pcm-oss module. 2249 2250 2251Proc interfaces (/proc/asound) 2252============================== 2253 2254/proc/asound/card#/pcm#[cp]/oss 2255------------------------------- 2256 String "erase" - erase all additional informations about OSS applications 2257 String "<app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]" 2258 2259 <app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path 2260 <fragments> - number of fragments or zero if auto 2261 <fragment_size> - size of fragment in bytes or zero if auto 2262 <options> - optional parameters 2263 - disable the application tries to open a pcm device for 2264 this channel but does not want to use it. 2265 (Cause a bug or mmap needs) 2266 It's good for Quake etc... 2267 - direct don't use plugins 2268 - block force block mode (rvplayer) 2269 - non-block force non-block mode 2270 - whole-frag write only whole fragments (optimization affecting 2271 playback only) 2272 - no-silence do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks 2273 - buggy-ptr Returns the whitespace blocks in GETOPTR ioctl 2274 instead of filled blocks 2275 2276 Example: echo "x11amp 128 16384" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss 2277 echo "squake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss 2278 echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss 2279 2280 2281Early Buffer Allocation 2282======================= 2283 2284Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and 2285sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is 2286actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the 2287PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its 2288proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like 2289/etc/init.d/*.local scripts. 2290 2291Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current 2292usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following 2293commands to the snd-page-alloc driver: 2294 2295 - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS 2296 2297 VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take 2298 integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex). 2299 MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted. 2300 SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass 2301 k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB. 2302 BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater 2303 than 0. The max number is 4. 2304 2305 - erase 2306 2307 This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in 2308 use. 2309 2310 2311Links and Addresses 2312=================== 2313 2314 ALSA project homepage 2315 http://www.alsa-project.org 2316 2317 ALSA Bug Tracking System 2318 https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/bugs/ 2319 2320 ALSA Developers ML 2321 mailto:alsa-devel@alsa-project.org 2322
