SND_SBC(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						SND_SBC(4)

NAME

     snd_sbc, snd_sb16, snd_sb8 -- Creative Sound Blaster ISA and compatible bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device sound
	   device snd_sbc
	   device snd_sb16
	   device snd_sb8

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in loader.conf(5):

	   snd_sbc_load="YES"
	   snd_sb16_load="YES"
	   snd_sb8_load="YES"

     Non-PnP cards require the following lines in device.hints(5):

	   hint.sbc.0.at="isa"
	   hint.sbc.0.port="0x220"
	   hint.sbc.0.irq="5"
	   hint.sbc.0.drq="1"
	   hint.sbc.0.flags="0x15"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_sbc bridge driver allows the generic audio driver sound(4) to attach to Creative Sound Blaster ISA (mostly SB16 or SB8, known as
     SoundBlaster Pro) compatible audio cards.

     The value of flags specifies the secondary DMA channel.  If the secondary DMA channel is C, set the flags to (C | 0x10).  For a sound card
     without the secondary DMA channel, the flags should be set to zero.

HARDWARE

     The snd_sbc driver supports the following sound cards:

     o	 Avance Asound 110
     o	 Avance Logic ALS100+
     o	 Avance Logic ALS120
     o	 Creative SB16
     o	 Creative SB32
     o	 Creative AWE64
     o	 Creative AWE64 Gold
     o	 Creative ViBRA16C
     o	 Creative ViBRA16X
     o	 ESS ES1681
     o	 ESS ES1688
     o	 ESS ES1868
     o	 ESS ES1869
     o	 ESS ES1878
     o	 ESS ES1879
     o	 ESS ES1888

DIAGNOSTICS

     sb_dspwr(XX) timed out.  A command to the DSP has timed out.  Check the I/O port configuration.

     bad irq XX (5/7/9/10 valid)  The IRQ given to the driver is not valid.

HISTORY

     The snd_sbc device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.

NAME

     snd_maestro3 -- ESS Maestro3/Allegro-1 bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device sound
	   device snd_maestro3

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   snd_maestro3_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_maestro3 driver provides support for the ESS Maestro3 and Allegro-1 sound chips under the PCM framework.  These chips are mostly
     found in laptop computers and feature an AC97 mixer, a multi-channel sample rate converter that can mix up to four digital audio streams in
     hardware, recording support, and external volume control buttons.

     The firmware for the sound processor is licensed under the GNU Public License, and thus this driver is not included in the default GENERIC
     kernel.

HARDWARE

     The snd_maestro3 driver supports the following audio devices:

     o	 ESS Technology Allegro-1
     o	 ESS Technology Maestro3

DIAGNOSTICS

     The hardware volume control buttons can be connected to two different pin sets (GPIO or GD) on the chip, depending on the manufacturer.  The
     driver has no way of determining this configuration, so a hint may be used to override the default guess.	The default setting for hardware
     volume control assumes that GD pins are wired to control the hardware volume.  For systems that have the GPIO pins wired to the hardware vol-
     ume control buttons, add the line ``hint.pcm.0.hwvol_config="0"'' to the file /boot/device.hints to override the default setting.

HISTORY

     The snd_maestro3 driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.3.
