1 | Documentation for the AD1816(A) sound driver | ||
2 | ============================================ | ||
3 | |||
4 | Installation: | ||
5 | ------------- | ||
6 | |||
7 | To get your AD1816(A) based sound card work, you'll have to enable support for | ||
8 | experimental code ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers") | ||
9 | and isapnp ("Plug and Play support", "ISA Plug and Play support"). Enable | ||
10 | "Sound card support", "OSS modules support" and "Support for AD1816(A) based | ||
11 | cards (EXPERIMENTAL)" in the sound configuration menu, too. Now build, install | ||
12 | and reboot the new kernel as usual. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Features: | ||
15 | --------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | List of features supported by this driver: | ||
18 | - full-duplex support | ||
19 | - supported audio formats: unsigned 8bit, signed 16bit little endian, | ||
20 | signed 16bit big endian, µ-law, A-law | ||
21 | - supported channels: mono and stereo | ||
22 | - supported recording sources: Master, CD, Line, Line1, Line2, Mic | ||
23 | - supports phat 3d stereo circuit (Line 3) | ||
24 | |||
25 | |||
26 | Supported cards: | ||
27 | ---------------- | ||
28 | |||
29 | The following cards are known to work with this driver: | ||
30 | - Terratec Base 1 | ||
31 | - Terratec Base 64 | ||
32 | - HP Kayak | ||
33 | - Acer FX-3D | ||
34 | - SY-1816 | ||
35 | - Highscreen Sound-Boostar 32 Wave 3D | ||
36 | - Highscreen Sound-Boostar 16 | ||
37 | - AVM Apex Pro card | ||
38 | - (Aztech SC-16 3D) | ||
39 | - (Newcom SC-16 3D) | ||
40 | - (Terratec EWS64S) | ||
41 | |||
42 | Cards listed in brackets are not supported reliable. If you have such a card | ||
43 | you should add the extra parameter: | ||
44 | options=1 | ||
45 | when loading the ad1816 module via modprobe. | ||
46 | |||
47 | |||
48 | Troubleshooting: | ||
49 | ---------------- | ||
50 | |||
51 | First of all you should check, if the driver has been loaded | ||
52 | properly. | ||
53 | |||
54 | If loading of the driver succeeds, but playback/capture fails, check | ||
55 | if you used the correct values for irq, dma and dma2 when loading the module. | ||
56 | If one of them is wrong you usually get the following error message: | ||
57 | |||
58 | Nov 6 17:06:13 tek01 kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? | ||
59 | |||
60 | If playback/capture is too fast or to slow, you should have a look at | ||
61 | the clock chip of your sound card. The AD1816 was designed for a 33MHz | ||
62 | oscillator, however most sound card manufacturer use slightly | ||
63 | different oscillators as they are cheaper than 33MHz oscillators. If | ||
64 | you have such a card you have to adjust the ad1816_clockfreq parameter | ||
65 | above. For example: For a card using a 32.875MHz oscillator use | ||
66 | ad1816_clockfreq=32875 instead of ad1816_clockfreq=33000. | ||
67 | |||
68 | |||
69 | Updates, bugfixes and bugreports: | ||
70 | -------------------------------- | ||
71 | |||
72 | As the driver is still experimental and under development, you should | ||
73 | watch out for updates. Updates of the driver are available on the | ||
74 | Internet from one of my home pages: | ||
75 | http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~tek/projects/linux.html | ||
76 | or: | ||
77 | http://www.tu-darmstadt.de/~tek01/projects/linux.html | ||
78 | |||
79 | Bugreports, bugfixes and related questions should be sent via E-Mail to: | ||
80 | tek@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de | ||

1 | ======================================================= | ||
2 | Documentation for the NeoMagic 256AV/256ZX sound driver | ||
3 | ======================================================= | ||
4 | |||
5 | You're looking at version 1.1 of the driver. (Woohoo!) It has been | ||
6 | successfully tested against the following laptop models: | ||
7 | |||
8 | Sony Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX/Z505RX | ||
9 | Sony F150, F160, F180, F250, F270, F280, PCG-F26 | ||
10 | Dell Latitude CPi, CPt (various submodels) | ||
11 | |||
12 | There are a few caveats, which is why you should read the entirety of | ||
13 | this document first. | ||
14 | |||
15 | This driver was developed without any support or assistance from | ||
16 | NeoMagic. There is no warranty, expressed, implied, or otherwise. It | ||
17 | is free software in the public domain; feel free to use it, sell it, | ||
18 | give it to your best friends, even claim that you wrote it (but why?!) | ||
19 | but don't go whining to me, NeoMagic, Sony, Dell, or anyone else | ||
20 | when it blows up your computer. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Version 1.1 contains a change to try and detect non-AC97 versions of | ||
23 | the hardware, and not install itself appropriately. It should also | ||
24 | reinitialize the hardware on an APM resume event, assuming that APM | ||
25 | was configured into your kernel. | ||
26 | |||
27 | ============ | ||
28 | Installation | ||
29 | ============ | ||
30 | |||
31 | Enable the sound drivers, the OSS sound drivers, and then the NM256 | ||
32 | driver. The NM256 driver *must* be configured as a module (it won't | ||
33 | give you any other choice). | ||
34 | |||
35 | Next, do the usual "make modules" and "make modules_install". | ||
36 | Finally, insmod the soundcore, sound and nm256 modules. | ||
37 | |||
38 | When the nm256 driver module is loaded, you should see a couple of | ||
39 | confirmation messages in the kernel logfile indicating that it found | ||
40 | the device (the device does *not* use any I/O ports or DMA channels). | ||
41 | Now try playing a wav file, futz with the CD-ROM if you have one, etc. | ||
42 | |||
43 | The NM256 is entirely a PCI-based device, and all the necessary | ||
44 | information is automatically obtained from the card. It can only be | ||
45 | configured as a module in a vain attempt to prevent people from | ||
46 | hurting themselves. It works correctly if it shares an IRQ with | ||
47 | another device (it normally shares IRQ 9 with the builtin eepro100 | ||
48 | ethernet on the Sony Z505 laptops). | ||
49 | |||
50 | It does not run the card in any sort of compatibility mode. It will | ||
51 | not work on laptops that have the SB16-compatible, AD1848-compatible | ||
52 | or CS4232-compatible codec/mixer; you will want to use the appropriate | ||
53 | compatible OSS driver with these chipsets. I cannot provide any | ||
54 | assistance with machines using the SB16, AD1848 or CS4232 compatible | ||
55 | versions. (The driver now attempts to detect the mixer version, and | ||
56 | will refuse to load if it believes the hardware is not | ||
57 | AC97-compatible.) | ||
58 | |||
59 | The sound support is very basic, but it does include simultaneous | ||
60 | playback and record capability. The mixer support is also quite | ||
61 | simple, although this is in keeping with the rather limited | ||
62 | functionality of the chipset. | ||
63 | |||
64 | There is no hardware synthesizer available, as the Losedows OPL-3 and | ||
65 | MIDI support is done via hardware emulation. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Only three recording devices are available on the Sony: the | ||
68 | microphone, the CD-ROM input, and the volume device (which corresponds | ||
69 | to the stereo output). (Other devices may be available on other | ||
70 | models of laptops.) The Z505 series does not have a builtin CD-ROM, | ||
71 | so of course the CD-ROM input doesn't work. It does work on laptops | ||
72 | with a builtin CD-ROM drive. | ||
73 | |||
74 | The mixer device does not appear to have any tone controls, at least | ||
75 | on the Z505 series. The mixer module checks for tone controls in the | ||
76 | AC97 mixer, and will enable them if they are available. | ||
77 | |||
78 | ============== | ||
79 | Known problems | ||
80 | ============== | ||
81 | |||
82 | * There are known problems with PCMCIA cards and the eepro100 ethernet | ||
83 | driver on the Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX. Keep reading. | ||
84 | |||
85 | * There are also potential problems with using a virtual X display, and | ||
86 | also problems loading the module after the X server has been started. | ||
87 | Keep reading. | ||
88 | |||
89 | * The volume control isn't anywhere near linear. Sorry. This will be | ||
90 | fixed eventually, when I get sufficiently annoyed with it. (I doubt | ||
91 | it will ever be fixed now, since I've never gotten sufficiently | ||
92 | annoyed with it and nobody else seems to care.) | ||
93 | |||
94 | * There are reports that the CD-ROM volume is very low. Since I do not | ||
95 | have a CD-ROM equipped laptop, I cannot test this (it's kinda hard to | ||
96 | do remotely). | ||
97 | |||
98 | * Only 8 fixed-rate speeds are supported. This is mainly a chipset | ||
99 | limitation. It may be possible to support other speeds in the future. | ||
100 | |||
101 | * There is no support for the telephone mixer/codec. There is support | ||
102 | for a phonein/phoneout device in the mixer driver; whether or not | ||
103 | it does anything is anyone's guess. (Reports on this would be | ||
104 | appreciated. You'll have to figure out how to get the phone to | ||
105 | go off-hook before it'll work, tho.) | ||
106 | |||
107 | * This driver was not written with any cooperation or support from | ||
108 | NeoMagic. If you have any questions about this, see their website | ||
109 | for their official stance on supporting open source drivers. | ||
110 | |||
111 | ============ | ||
112 | Video memory | ||
113 | ============ | ||
114 | |||
115 | The NeoMagic sound engine uses a portion of the display memory to hold | ||
116 | the sound buffer. (Crazy, eh?) The NeoMagic video BIOS sets up a | ||
117 | special pointer at the top of video RAM to indicate where the top of | ||
118 | the audio buffer should be placed. | ||
119 | |||
120 | At the present time XFree86 is apparently not aware of this. It will | ||
121 | thus write over either the pointer or the sound buffer with abandon. | ||
122 | (Accelerated-X seems to do a better job here.) | ||
123 | |||
124 | This implies a few things: | ||
125 | |||
126 | * Sometimes the NM256 driver has to guess at where the buffer | ||
127 | should be placed, especially if the module is loaded after the | ||
128 | X server is started. It's usually correct, but it will consistently | ||
129 | fail on the Sony F250. | ||
130 | |||
131 | * Virtual screens greater than 1024x768x16 under XFree86 are | ||
132 | problematic on laptops with only 2.5MB of screen RAM. This | ||
133 | includes all of the 256AV-equipped laptops. (Virtual displays | ||
134 | may or may not work on the 256ZX, which has at least 4MB of | ||
135 | video RAM.) | ||
136 | |||
137 | If you start having problems with random noise being output either | ||
138 | constantly (this is the usual symptom on the F250), or when windows | ||
139 | are moved around (this is the usual symptom when using a virtual | ||
140 | screen), the best fix is to | ||
141 | |||
142 | * Don't use a virtual frame buffer. | ||
143 | * Make sure you load the NM256 module before the X server is | ||
144 | started. | ||
145 | |||
146 | On the F250, it is possible to force the driver to load properly even | ||
147 | after the XFree86 server is started by doing: | ||
148 | |||
149 | insmod nm256 buffertop=0x25a800 | ||
150 | |||
151 | This forces the audio buffers to the correct offset in screen RAM. | ||
152 | |||
153 | One user has reported a similar problem on the Sony F270, although | ||
154 | others apparently aren't seeing any problems. His suggested command | ||
155 | is | ||
156 | |||
157 | insmod nm256 buffertop=0x272800 | ||
158 | |||
159 | ================= | ||
160 | Official WWW site | ||
161 | ================= | ||
162 | |||
163 | The official site for the NM256 driver is: | ||
164 | |||
165 | http://www.uglx.org/sony.html | ||
166 | |||
167 | You should always be able to get the latest version of the driver there, | ||
168 | and the driver will be supported for the foreseeable future. | ||
169 | |||
170 | ============== | ||
171 | Z505RX and IDE | ||
172 | ============== | ||
173 | |||
174 | There appears to be a problem with the IDE chipset on the Z505RX; one | ||
175 | of the symptoms is that sound playback periodically hangs (when the | ||
176 | disk is accessed). The user reporting the problem also reported that | ||
177 | enabling all of the IDE chipset workarounds in the kernel solved the | ||
178 | problem, tho obviously only one of them should be needed--if someone | ||
179 | can give me more details I would appreciate it. | ||
180 | |||
181 | ============================== | ||
182 | Z505S/Z505SX on-board Ethernet | ||
183 | ============================== | ||
184 | |||
185 | If you're using the on-board Ethernet Pro/100 ethernet support on the Z505 | ||
186 | series, I strongly encourage you to download the latest eepro100 driver from | ||
187 | Donald Becker's site: | ||
188 | |||
189 | ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/test/eepro100.c | ||
190 | |||
191 | There was a reported problem on the Z505SX that if the ethernet | ||
192 | interface is disabled and reenabled while the sound driver is loaded, | ||
193 | the machine would lock up. I have included a workaround that is | ||
194 | working satisfactorily. However, you may occasionally see a message | ||
195 | about "Releasing interrupts, over 1000 bad interrupts" which indicates | ||
196 | that the workaround is doing its job. | ||
197 | |||
198 | ================================== | ||
199 | PCMCIA and the Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX | ||
200 | ================================== | ||
201 | |||
202 | There is also a known problem with the Sony Z505S and Z505SX hanging | ||
203 | if a PCMCIA card is inserted while the ethernet driver is loaded, or | ||
204 | in some cases if the laptop is suspended. This is caused by tons of | ||
205 | spurious IRQ 9s, probably generated from the PCMCIA or ACPI bridges. | ||
206 | |||
207 | There is currently no fix for the problem that works in every case. | ||
208 | The only known workarounds are to disable the ethernet interface | ||
209 | before inserting or removing a PCMCIA card, or with some cards | ||
210 | disabling the PCMCIA card before ejecting it will also help the | ||
211 | problem with the laptop hanging when the card is ejected. | ||
212 | |||
213 | One user has reported that setting the tcic's cs_irq to some value | ||
214 | other than 9 (like 11) fixed the problem. This doesn't work on my | ||
215 | Z505S, however--changing the value causes the cardmgr to stop seeing | ||
216 | card insertions and removals, cards don't seem to work correctly, and | ||
217 | I still get hangs if a card is inserted when the kernel is booted. | ||
218 | |||
219 | Using the latest ethernet driver and pcmcia package allows me to | ||
220 | insert an Adaptec 1480A SlimScsi card without the laptop hanging, | ||
221 | although I still have to shut down the card before ejecting or | ||
222 | powering down the laptop. However, similar experiments with a DE-660 | ||
223 | ethernet card still result in hangs when the card is inserted. I am | ||
224 | beginning to think that the interrupts are CardBus-related, since the | ||
225 | Adaptec card is a CardBus card, and the DE-660 is not; however, I | ||
226 | don't have any other CardBus cards to test with. | ||
227 | |||
228 | ====== | ||
229 | Thanks | ||
230 | ====== | ||
231 | |||
232 | First, I want to thank everyone (except NeoMagic of course) for their | ||
233 | generous support and encouragement. I'd like to list everyone's name | ||
234 | here that replied during the development phase, but the list is | ||
235 | amazingly long. | ||
236 | |||
237 | I will be rather unfair and single out a few people, however: | ||
238 | |||
239 | Justin Maurer, for being the first random net.person to try it, | ||
240 | and for letting me login to his Z505SX to get it working there | ||
241 | |||
242 | Edi Weitz for trying out several different versions, and giving | ||
243 | me a lot of useful feedback | ||
244 | |||
245 | Greg Rumple for letting me login remotely to get the driver | ||
246 | functional on the 256ZX, for his assistance on tracking | ||
247 | down all sorts of random stuff, and for trying out Accel-X | ||
248 | |||
249 | Zach Brown, for the initial AC97 mixer interface design | ||
250 | |||
251 | Jeff Garzik, for various helpful suggestions on the AC97 | ||
252 | interface | ||
253 | |||
254 | "Mr. Bumpy" for feedback on the Z505RX | ||
255 | |||
256 | Bill Nottingham, for generous assistance in getting the mixer ID | ||
257 | code working | ||
258 | |||
259 | ================= | ||
260 | Previous versions | ||
261 | ================= | ||
262 | |||
263 | Versions prior to 0.3 (aka `noname') had problems with weird artifacts | ||
264 | in the output and failed to set the recording rate properly. These | ||
265 | problems have long since been fixed. | ||
266 | |||
267 | Versions prior to 0.5 had problems with clicks in the output when | ||
268 | anything other than 16-bit stereo sound was being played, and also had | ||
269 | periodic clicks when recording. | ||
270 | |||
271 | Version 0.7 first incorporated support for the NM256ZX chipset, which | ||
272 | is found on some Dell Latitude laptops (the CPt, and apparently | ||
273 | some CPi models as well). It also included the generic AC97 | ||
274 | mixer module. | ||
275 | |||
276 | Version 0.75 renamed all the functions and files with slightly more | ||
277 | generic names. | ||
278 | |||
279 | Note that previous versions of this document claimed that recording was | ||
280 | 8-bit only; it actually has been working for 16-bits all along. | ||

10 | |||
11 | Supported Devices | ||
12 | ----------------- | ||
13 | |||
14 | This driver is for PnP soundcards based on the following Yamaha audio | ||
15 | controller chipsets: | ||
16 | |||
17 | YMF711 aka OPL3-SA2 | ||
18 | YMF715 and YMF719 aka OPL3-SA3 | ||
19 | |||
20 | Up until recently (December 2000), I'd thought the 719 to be a | ||
21 | different chipset, the OPL3-SAx. After an email exhange with | ||
22 | Yamaha, however, it turns out that the 719 is just a re-badged | ||
23 | 715, and the chipsets are identical. The chipset detection code | ||
24 | has been updated to reflect this. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Anyways, all of these chipsets implement the following devices: | ||
27 | |||
28 | OPL3 FM synthesizer | ||
29 | Soundblaster Pro | ||
30 | Microsoft/Windows Sound System | ||
31 | MPU401 MIDI interface | ||
32 | |||
33 | Note that this driver uses the MSS device, and to my knowledge these | ||
34 | chipsets enforce an either/or situation with the Soundblaster Pro | ||
35 | device and the MSS device. Since the MSS device has better | ||
36 | capabilities, I have implemented the driver to use it. | ||
37 | |||
38 | |||
39 | Mixer Channels | ||
40 | -------------- | ||
41 | |||
42 | Older versions of this driver (pre-December 2000) had two mixers, | ||
43 | an OPL3-SA2 or SA3 mixer and a MSS mixer. The OPL3-SA[23] mixer | ||
44 | device contained a superset of mixer channels consisting of its own | ||
45 | channels and all of the MSS mixer channels. To simplify the driver | ||
46 | considerably, and to partition functionality better, the OPL3-SA[23] | ||
47 | mixer device now contains has its own specific mixer channels. They | ||
48 | are: | ||
49 | |||
50 | Volume - Hardware master volume control | ||
51 | Bass - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels | ||
52 | Treble - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels | ||
53 | Microphone - Hardware microphone input volume control | ||
54 | Digital1 - Yamaha 3D enhancement "Wide" mixer | ||
55 | |||
56 | All other mixer channels (e.g. "PCM", "CD", etc.) now have to be | ||
57 | controlled via the "MS Sound System (CS4231)" mixer. To facilitate | ||
58 | this, the mixer device creation order has been switched so that | ||
59 | the MSS mixer is created first. This allows accessing the majority | ||
60 | of the useful mixer channels even via single mixer-aware tools | ||
61 | such as "aumix". | ||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | Plug 'n Play | ||
65 | ------------ | ||
66 | |||
67 | In previous kernels (2.2.x), some configuration was required to | ||
68 | get the driver to talk to the card. Being the new millennium and | ||
69 | all, the 2.4.x kernels now support auto-configuration if ISA PnP | ||
70 | support is configured in. Theoretically, the driver even supports | ||
71 | having more than one card in this case. | ||
72 | |||
73 | With the addition of PnP support to the driver, two new parameters | ||
74 | have been added to control it: | ||
75 | |||
76 | isapnp - set to 0 to disable ISA PnP card detection | ||
77 | |||
78 | multiple - set to 0 to disable multiple PnP card detection | ||
79 | |||
80 | |||
81 | Optional Parameters | ||
82 | ------------------- | ||
83 | |||
84 | Recent (December 2000) additions to the driver (based on a patch | ||
85 | provided by Peter Englmaier) are two new parameters: | ||
86 | |||
87 | ymode - Set Yamaha 3D enhancement mode: | ||
88 | 0 = Desktop/Normal 5-12 cm speakers | ||
89 | 1 = Notebook PC (1) 3 cm speakers | ||
90 | 2 = Notebook PC (2) 1.5 cm speakers | ||
91 | 3 = Hi-Fi 16-38 cm speakers | ||
92 | |||
93 | loopback - Set A/D input source. Useful for echo cancellation: | ||
94 | 0 = Mic Right channel (default) | ||
95 | 1 = Mono output loopback | ||
96 | |||
97 | The ymode parameter has been tested and does work. The loopback | ||
98 | parameter, however, is untested. Any feedback on its usefulness | ||
99 | would be appreciated. | ||
100 | |||
101 | |||
102 | Manual Configuration | ||
103 | -------------------- | ||
104 | |||
105 | If for some reason you decide not to compile ISA PnP support into | ||
106 | your kernel, or disabled the driver's usage of it by setting the | ||
107 | isapnp parameter as discussed above, then you will need to do some | ||
108 | manual configuration. There are two ways of doing this. The most | ||
109 | common is to use the isapnptools package to initialize the card, and | ||
110 | use the kernel module form of the sound subsystem and sound drivers. | ||
111 | Alternatively, some BIOS's allow manual configuration of installed | ||
112 | PnP devices in a BIOS menu, which should allow using the non-modular | ||
113 | sound drivers, i.e. built into the kernel. | ||
114 | |||
115 | I personally use isapnp and modules, and do not have access to a PnP | ||
116 | BIOS machine to test. If you have such a beast, configuring the | ||
117 | driver to be built into the kernel should just work (thanks to work | ||
118 | done by David Luyer <luyer@ucs.uwa.edu.au>). You will still need | ||
119 | to specify settings, which can be done by adding: | ||
120 | |||
121 | opl3sa2=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<mssio>,<mpuio> | ||
122 | |||
123 | to the kernel command line. For example: | ||
124 | |||
125 | opl3sa2=0x370,5,0,1,0x530,0x330 | ||
126 | |||
127 | If you are instead using the isapnp tools (as most people have been | ||
128 | before Linux 2.4.x), follow the directions in their documentation to | ||
129 | produce a configuration file. Here is the relevant excerpt I used to | ||
130 | use for my SA3 card from my isapnp.conf: | ||
131 | |||
132 | (CONFIGURE YMH0800/-1 (LD 0 | ||
133 | |||
134 | # NOTE: IO 0 is for the unused SoundBlaster part of the chipset. | ||
135 | (IO 0 (BASE 0x0220)) | ||
136 | (IO 1 (BASE 0x0530)) | ||
137 | (IO 2 (BASE 0x0388)) | ||
138 | (IO 3 (BASE 0x0330)) | ||
139 | (IO 4 (BASE 0x0370)) | ||
140 | (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E))) | ||
141 | (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0)) | ||
142 | (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 1)) | ||
143 | |||
144 | Here, note that: | ||
145 | |||
146 | Port Acceptable Range Purpose | ||
147 | ---- ---------------- ------- | ||
148 | IO 0 0x0220 - 0x0280 SB base address, unused. | ||
149 | IO 1 0x0530 - 0x0F48 MSS base address | ||
150 | IO 2 0x0388 - 0x03F8 OPL3 base address | ||
151 | IO 3 0x0300 - 0x0334 MPU base address | ||
152 | IO 4 0x0100 - 0x0FFE card's own base address for its control I/O ports | ||
153 | |||
154 | The IRQ and DMA values can be any that are considered acceptable for a | ||
155 | MSS. Assuming you've got isapnp all happy, then you should be able to | ||
156 | do something like the following (which matches up with the isapnp | ||
157 | configuration above): | ||
158 | |||
159 | modprobe mpu401 | ||
160 | modprobe ad1848 | ||
161 | modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 | ||
162 | modprobe opl3 io=0x388 | ||
163 | |||
164 | See the section "Automatic Module Loading" below for how to set up | ||
165 | /etc/modprobe.conf to automate this. | ||
166 | |||
167 | An important thing to remember that the opl3sa2 module's io argument is | ||
168 | for it's own control port, which handles the card's master mixer for | ||
169 | volume (on all cards), and bass and treble (on SA3 cards). | ||
170 | |||
171 | |||
172 | Troubleshooting | ||
173 | --------------- | ||
174 | |||
175 | If all goes well and you see no error messages, you should be able to | ||
176 | start using the sound capabilities of your system. If you get an | ||
177 | error message while trying to insert the opl3sa2 module, then make | ||
178 | sure that the values of the various arguments match what you specified | ||
179 | in your isapnp configuration file, and that there is no conflict with | ||
180 | another device for an I/O port or interrupt. Checking the contents of | ||
181 | /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts can be useful to see if you're | ||
182 | butting heads with another device. | ||
183 | |||
184 | If you still cannot get the module to load, look at the contents of | ||
185 | your system log file, usually /var/log/messages. If you see the | ||
186 | message "opl3sa2: Unknown Yamaha audio controller version", then you | ||
187 | have a different chipset version than I've encountered so far. Look | ||
188 | for all messages in the log file that start with "opl3sa2: " and see | ||
189 | if they provide any clues. If you do not see the chipset version | ||
190 | message, and none of the other messages present in the system log are | ||
191 | helpful, email me some details and I'll try my best to help. | ||
192 | |||
193 | |||
194 | Automatic Module Loading | ||
195 | ------------------------ | ||
196 | |||
197 | Lastly, if you're using modules and want to set up automatic module | ||
198 | loading with kmod, the kernel module loader, here is the section I | ||
199 | currently use in my modprobe.conf file: | ||
200 | |||
201 | # Sound | ||
202 | alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 | ||
203 | options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=7 dma=0 dma2=3 | ||
204 | options opl3 io=0x388 | ||
205 | |||
206 | That's all it currently takes to get an OPL3-SA3 card working on my | ||
207 | system. Once again, if you have any other problems, email me at the | ||
208 | address listed above. | ||

1 | Running sound cards on VIA chipsets | ||
2 | |||
3 | o There are problems with VIA chipsets and sound cards that appear to | ||
4 | lock the hardware solidly. Test programs under DOS have verified the | ||
5 | problem exists on at least some (but apparently not all) VIA boards | ||
6 | |||
7 | o VIA have so far failed to bother to answer support mail on the subject | ||
8 | so if you are a VIA engineer feeling aggrieved as you read this | ||
9 | document go chase your own people. If there is a workaround please | ||
10 | let us know so we can implement it. | ||
11 | |||
12 | |||
13 | Certain patterns of ISA DMA access used for most PC sound cards cause the | ||
14 | VIA chipsets to lock up. From the collected reports this appears to cover a | ||
15 | wide range of boards. Some also lock up with sound cards under Win* as well. | ||
16 | |||
17 | Linux implements a workaround providing your chipset is PCI and you compiled | ||
18 | with PCI Quirks enabled. If so you will see a message | ||
19 | "Activating ISA DMA bug workarounds" | ||
20 | |||
21 | during booting. If you have a VIA PCI chipset that hangs when you use the | ||
22 | sound and is not generating this message even with PCI quirks enabled | ||
23 | please report the information to the linux-kernel list (see REPORTING-BUGS). | ||
24 | |||
25 | If you are one of the tiny number of unfortunates with a 486 ISA/VLB VIA | ||
26 | chipset board you need to do the following to build a special kernel for | ||
27 | your board | ||
28 | |||
29 | edit linux/include/asm-i386/dma.h | ||
30 | |||
31 | change | ||
32 | |||
33 | #define isa_dma_bridge_buggy (0) | ||
34 | |||
35 | to | ||
36 | |||
37 | #define isa_dma_bridge_buggy (1) | ||
38 | |||
39 | and rebuild a kernel without PCI quirk support. | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | Other than this particular glitch the VIA [M]VP* chipsets appear to work | ||
43 | perfectly with Linux. | ||

2 | Documentation for the Cirrus Logic/Crystal SoundFusion cs46xx/cs4280 audio | ||
3 | controller chips (2001/05/11) | ||
4 | |||
5 | The cs46xx audio driver supports the DSP line of Cirrus controllers. | ||
6 | Specifically, the cs4610, cs4612, cs4614, cs4622, cs4624, cs4630 and the cs4280 | ||
7 | products. This driver uses the generic ac97_codec driver for AC97 codec | ||
8 | support. | ||
9 | |||
10 | |||
11 | Features: | ||
12 | |||
13 | Full Duplex Playback/Capture supported from 8k-48k. | ||
14 | 16Bit Signed LE & 8Bit Unsigned, with Mono or Stereo supported. | ||
15 | |||
16 | APM/PM - 2.2.x PM is enabled and functional. APM can also | ||
17 | be enabled for 2.4.x by modifying the CS46XX_ACPI_SUPPORT macro | ||
18 | definition. | ||
19 | |||
20 | DMA playback buffer size is configurable from 16k (defaultorder=2) up to 2Meg | ||
21 | (defaultorder=11). DMA capture buffer size is fixed at a single 4k page as | ||
22 | two 2k fragments. | ||
23 | |||
24 | MMAP seems to work well with QuakeIII, and test XMMS plugin. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Myth2 works, but the polling logic is not fully correct, but is functional. | ||
27 | |||
28 | The 2.4.4-ac6 gameport code in the cs461x joystick driver has been tested | ||
29 | with a Microsoft Sidewinder joystick (cs461x.o and sidewinder.o). This | ||
30 | audio driver must be loaded prior to the joystick driver to enable the | ||
31 | DSP task image supporting the joystick device. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | Limitations: | ||
35 | |||
36 | SPDIF is currently not supported. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Primary codec support only. No secondary codec support is implemented. | ||
39 | |||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | NOTES: | ||
43 | |||
44 | Hercules Game Theatre XP - the EGPIO2 pin controls the external Amp, | ||
45 | and has been tested. | ||
46 | Module parameter hercules_egpio_disable set to 1, will force a 0 to EGPIODR | ||
47 | to disable the external amplifier. | ||
48 | |||
49 | VTB Santa Cruz - the GPIO7/GPIO8 on the Secondary Codec control | ||
50 | the external amplifier for the "back" speakers, since we do not | ||
51 | support the secondary codec then this external amp is not | ||
52 | turned on. The primary codec external amplifier is supported but | ||
53 | note that the AC97 EAPD bit is inverted logic (amp_voyetra()). | ||
54 | |||
55 | DMA buffer size - there are issues with many of the Linux applications | ||
56 | concerning the optimal buffer size. Several applications request a | ||
57 | certain fragment size and number and then do not verify that the driver | ||
58 | has the ability to support the requested configuration. | ||
59 | SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT ioctl is used to request a fragment size and | ||
60 | number of fragments. Some applications exit if an error is returned | ||
61 | on this particular ioctl. Therefore, in alignment with the other OSS audio | ||
62 | drivers, no error is returned when a SETFRAGs IOCTL is received, but the | ||
63 | values passed from the app are not used in any buffer calculation | ||
64 | (ossfragshift/ossmaxfrags are not used). | ||
65 | Use the "defaultorder=N" module parameter to change the buffer size if | ||
66 | you have an application that requires a specific number of fragments | ||
67 | or a specific buffer size (see below). | ||
68 | |||
69 | Debug Interface | ||
70 | --------------- | ||
71 | There is an ioctl debug interface to allow runtime modification of the | ||
72 | debug print levels. This debug interface code can be disabled from the | ||
73 | compilation process with commenting the following define: | ||
74 | #define CSDEBUG_INTERFACE 1 | ||
75 | There is also a debug print methodolgy to select printf statements from | ||
76 | different areas of the driver. A debug print level is also used to allow | ||
77 | additional printfs to be active. Comment out the following line in the | ||
78 | driver to disable compilation of the CS_DBGOUT print statements: | ||
79 | #define CSDEBUG 1 | ||
80 | |||
81 | Please see the definitions for cs_debuglevel and cs_debugmask for additional | ||
82 | information on the debug levels and sections. | ||
83 | |||
84 | There is also a csdbg executable to allow runtime manipulation of these | ||
85 | parameters. for a copy email: twoller@crystal.cirrus.com | ||

88 | |||
89 | MODULE_PARMS definitions | ||
90 | ------------------------ | ||
91 | module_param(defaultorder, ulong, 0); | ||
92 | defaultorder=N | ||
93 | where N is a value from 1 to 12 | ||
94 | The buffer order determines the size of the dma buffer for the driver. | ||
95 | under Linux, a smaller buffer allows more responsiveness from many of the | ||
96 | applications (e.g. games). A larger buffer allows some of the apps (esound) | ||
97 | to not underrun the dma buffer as easily. As default, use 32k (order=3) | ||
98 | rather than 64k as some of the games work more responsively. | ||
99 | (2^N) * PAGE_SIZE = allocated buffer size | ||
100 | |||
101 | module_param(cs_debuglevel, ulong, 0644); | ||
102 | module_param(cs_debugmask, ulong, 0644); | ||
103 | cs_debuglevel=N | ||
104 | cs_debugmask=0xMMMMMMMM | ||
105 | where N is a value from 0 (no debug printfs), to 9 (maximum) | ||
106 | 0xMMMMMMMM is a debug mask corresponding to the CS_xxx bits (see driver source). | ||
107 | |||
108 | module_param(hercules_egpio_disable, ulong, 0); | ||
109 | hercules_egpio_disable=N | ||
110 | where N is a 0 (enable egpio), or a 1 (disable egpio support) | ||
111 | |||
112 | module_param(initdelay, ulong, 0); | ||
113 | initdelay=N | ||
114 | This value is used to determine the millescond delay during the initialization | ||
115 | code prior to powering up the PLL. On laptops this value can be used to | ||
116 | assist with errors on resume, mostly with IBM laptops. Basically, if the | ||
117 | system is booted under battery power then the mdelay()/udelay() functions fail to | ||
118 | properly delay the required time. Also, if the system is booted under AC power | ||
119 | and then the power removed, the mdelay()/udelay() functions will not delay properly. | ||
120 | |||
121 | module_param(powerdown, ulong, 0); | ||
122 | powerdown=N | ||
123 | where N is 0 (disable any powerdown of the internal blocks) or 1 (enable powerdown) | ||
124 | |||
125 | |||
126 | module_param(external_amp, bool, 0); | ||
127 | external_amp=1 | ||
128 | if N is set to 1, then force enabling the EAPD support in the primary AC97 codec. | ||
129 | override the detection logic and force the external amp bit in the AC97 0x26 register | ||
130 | to be reset (0). EAPD should be 0 for powerup, and 1 for powerdown. The VTB Santa Cruz | ||
131 | card has inverted logic, so there is a special function for these cards. | ||
132 | |||
133 | module_param(thinkpad, bool, 0); | ||
134 | thinkpad=1 | ||
135 | if N is set to 1, then force enabling the clkrun functionality. | ||
136 | Currently, when the part is being used, then clkrun is disabled for the entire system, | ||
137 | but re-enabled when the driver is released or there is no outstanding open count. | ||
138 | |||
