1 | Linux 2.4 Sound Changes | ||

7 | === isapnp support | ||
8 | |||
9 | The Linux 2.4 Kernel does have reliable in-kernel isapnp support. | ||
10 | Some drivers (sb.o, ad1816.o awe_wave.o) do now support automatically | ||
11 | detecting and configuring isapnp devices. | ||
12 | If you have a not yet supported isapnp soundcard, mail me the content | ||
13 | of '/proc/isapnp' on your system and some information about your card | ||
14 | and its driver(s) so I can try to get isapnp working for it. | ||
15 | |||
16 | |||
17 | |||
18 | === soundcard resources on kernel commandline | ||
19 | |||
20 | Before Linux 2.4 you had to specify the resources for sounddrivers | ||
21 | statically linked into the kernel at compile time | ||
22 | (in make config/menuconfig/xconfig). In Linux 2.4 the resources are | ||
23 | now specified at the boot-time kernel commandline (e.g. the lilo | ||
24 | 'append=' line or everything that's after the kernel name in grub). | ||
25 | Read the Configure.help entry for your card for the parameters. | ||
26 | |||
27 | |||
28 | === softoss is gone | ||
29 | |||
30 | In Linux 2.4 the softoss in-kernel software synthesizer is no more aviable. | ||
31 | Use a user space software synthesizer like timidity instead. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | === /dev/sndstat and /proc/sound are gone | ||
36 | |||
37 | In older Linux versions those files exported some information about the | ||
38 | OSS/Free configuration to userspace. In Linux 2.3 they were removed because | ||
39 | they did not support the growing number of pci soundcards and there were | ||
40 | some general problems with this interface. | ||
