sound/oss/Kconfig v3.0-rc7

SOUND_BCM_CS4297A

Crystal Sound CS4297a (for Swarm)

The BCM91250A has a Crystal CS4297a on synchronous serial
port B (in addition to the DB-9 serial port).  Say Y or M
here to enable the sound chip instead of the UART.  Also
note that CONFIG_KGDB should not be enabled at the same
time, since it also attempts to use this UART port.

SOUND_VWSND

SGI Visual Workstation Sound

Say Y or M if you have an SGI Visual Workstation and you want to be
able to use its on-board audio.  Read
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/vwsnd> for more info on this driver's
capabilities.

SOUND_MSNDCLAS

Support for Turtle Beach MultiSound Classic, Tahiti, Monterey

Say M here if you have a Turtle Beach MultiSound Classic, Tahiti or
Monterey (not for the Pinnacle or Fiji).

See <file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for important information
about this driver.  Note that it has been discontinued, but the
Voyetra Turtle Beach knowledge base entry for it is still available
at <http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/790.asp>.

Compiled-in MSND Classic support requires firmware during compilation.

MSNDCLAS_INIT_FILE

The MultiSound cards have two firmware files which are required for
operation, and are not currently included. These files can be
obtained from Turtle Beach. See
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for information on how to
obtain this.

MSNDCLAS_PERM_FILE

Full pathname of MSNDPERM.BIN firmware file

The MultiSound cards have two firmware files which are required for
operation, and are not currently included. These files can be
obtained from Turtle Beach. See
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for information on how to
obtain this.

SOUND_MSNDPIN

Support for Turtle Beach MultiSound Pinnacle, Fiji

Say M here if you have a Turtle Beach MultiSound Pinnacle or Fiji.
See <file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for important information
about this driver. Note that it has been discontinued, but the
Voyetra Turtle Beach knowledge base entry for it is still available
at <http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/600.asp>.

Compiled-in MSND Pinnacle support requires firmware during compilation.

MSNDPIN_INIT_FILE

Full pathname of PNDSPINI.BIN firmware file

The MultiSound cards have two firmware files which are required
for operation, and are not currently included. These files can be
obtained from Turtle Beach. See
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for information on how to
obtain this.

MSNDPIN_PERM_FILE

The MultiSound cards have two firmware files which are required for
operation, and are not currently included. These files can be
obtained from Turtle Beach. See
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for information on how to
obtain this.

MSNDPIN_IRQ

MSND Pinnacle IRQ 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12

Interrupt request line for the primary synthesizer on MultiSound
Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSNDPIN_MEM

MSND Pinnacle memory B0000, C8000, D0000, D8000, E0000, E8000

Memory-mapped I/O base address for the primary synthesizer on
MultiSound Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

Memory-mapped I/O base address for the primary synthesizer on
MultiSound Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSNDPIN_DIGITAL

MSND Pinnacle has S/PDIF I/O

If you have the S/PDIF daughter board for the Pinnacle or Fiji,
answer Y here; otherwise, say N. If you have this, you will be able
to play and record from the S/PDIF port (digital signal). See
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/MultiSound> for information on how to make
use of this capability.

MSNDPIN_NONPNP

MSND Pinnacle non-PnP Mode

The Pinnacle and Fiji card resources can be configured either with
PnP, or through a configuration port. Say Y here if your card is NOT
in PnP mode. For the Pinnacle, configuration in non-PnP mode allows
use of the IDE and joystick peripherals on the card as well; these
do not show up when the card is in PnP mode. Specifying zero for any
resource of a device will disable the device. If you are running the
card in PnP mode, you must say N here and use isapnptools to
configure the card's resources.

MSND Pinnacle DSP section will be configured to above parameters.

MSNDPIN_CFG

MSND Pinnacle config port 250,260,270

This is the port which the Pinnacle and Fiji uses to configure the
card's resources when not in PnP mode. If your card is in PnP mode,
then be sure to say N to the previous option, "MSND Pinnacle Non-PnP
Mode".

Pinnacle-specific Device Configuration (0 disables)

MSNDPIN_MPU_IO

MSND Pinnacle MPU I/O (e.g. 330)

Memory-mapped I/O base address for the Kurzweil daughterboard
synthesizer on MultiSound Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSNDPIN_MPU_IRQ

MSND Pinnacle MPU IRQ (e.g. 9)

Interrupt request number for the Kurzweil daughterboard
synthesizer on MultiSound Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSNDPIN_IDE_IO0

MSND Pinnacle IDE I/O 0 (e.g. 170)

CD-ROM drive 0 memory-mapped I/O base address for the MultiSound
Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSND Pinnacle joystick I/O (e.g. 200)

Memory-mapped I/O base address for the joystick port on MultiSound
Pinnacle and Fiji sound cards.

MSND_FIFOSIZE

MSND buffer size (kB)

Configures the size of each audio buffer, in kilobytes, for
recording and playing in the MultiSound drivers (both the Classic
and Pinnacle). Larger values reduce the chance of data overruns at
the expense of overall latency. If unsure, use the default.

SOUND_OSS

OSS sound modules

OSS is the Open Sound System suite of sound card drivers.  They make
sound programming easier since they provide a common API.  Say Y or
M here (the module will be called sound) if you haven't found a
driver for your sound card above, then pick your driver from the
list below.

SOUND_TRACEINIT

Verbose initialisation

Verbose soundcard initialization -- affects the format of autoprobe
and initialization messages at boot time.

SOUND_DMAP

Persistent DMA buffers

Linux can often have problems allocating DMA buffers for ISA sound
cards on machines with more than 16MB of RAM. This is because ISA
DMA buffers must exist below the 16MB boundary and it is quite
possible that a large enough free block in this region cannot be
found after the machine has been running for a while. If you say Y
here the DMA buffers (64Kb) will be allocated at boot time and kept
until the shutdown. This option is only useful if you said Y to
"OSS sound modules", above. If you said M to "OSS sound modules"
then you can get the persistent DMA buffer functionality by passing
the command-line argument "dmabuf=1" to the sound module.

Say Y unless you have 16MB or more RAM or a PCI sound card.

SOUND_VMIDI

Loopback MIDI device support

Support for MIDI loopback on port 1 or 2.

SOUND_TRIX

MediaTrix AudioTrix Pro support

Answer Y if you have the AudioTriX Pro sound card manufactured
by MediaTrix.

TRIX_HAVE_BOOT

Have TRXPRO.HEX firmware file

The MediaTrix AudioTrix Pro has an on-board microcontroller which
needs to be initialized by downloading the code from the file
TRXPRO.HEX in the DOS driver directory. If you don't have the
TRXPRO.HEX file handy you may skip this step. However, the SB and
MPU-401 modes of AudioTrix Pro will not work without this file!

TRIX_BOOT_FILE

Full pathname of TRXPRO.HEX firmware file

Enter the full pathname of your TRXPRO.HEX file, starting from /.

SOUND_MSS

Microsoft Sound System support

Again think carefully before answering Y to this question.  It's
safe to answer Y if you have the original Windows Sound System card
made by Microsoft or Aztech SG 16 Pro (or NX16 Pro).  Also you may
say Y in case your card is NOT among these:

ATI Stereo F/X, AdLib, Audio Excell DSP16, Cardinal DSP16,
Ensoniq SoundScape (and compatibles made by Reveal and Spea),
Gravis Ultrasound, Gravis Ultrasound ACE, Gravis Ultrasound Max,
Gravis Ultrasound with 16 bit option, Logitech Sound Man 16,
Logitech SoundMan Games, Logitech SoundMan Wave, MAD16 Pro (OPTi
82C929), Media Vision Jazz16, MediaTriX AudioTriX Pro, Microsoft
Windows Sound System (MSS/WSS), Mozart (OAK OTI-601), Orchid
SW32, Personal Sound System (PSS), Pro Audio Spectrum 16, Pro
Audio Studio 16, Pro Sonic 16, Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface,
Sound Blaster 1.0, Sound Blaster 16, Sound Blaster 16ASP, Sound
Blaster 2.0, Sound Blaster AWE32, Sound Blaster Pro, TI TM4000M
notebook, ThunderBoard, Turtle Beach Tropez, Yamaha FM
synthesizers (OPL2, OPL3 and OPL4), 6850 UART MIDI Interface.

For cards having native support in VoxWare, consult the card
specific instructions in <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS>.
Some drivers have their own MSS support and saying Y to this option
will cause a conflict.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"ad1848=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>[,<type>]" to the kernel command
line.

SOUND_MPU401

MPU-401 support (NOT for SB16)

Be careful with this question.  The MPU401 interface is supported by
all sound cards.  However, some natively supported cards have their
own driver for MPU401.  Enabling this MPU401 option with these cards
will cause a conflict.  Also, enabling MPU401 on a system that
doesn't really have a MPU401 could cause some trouble.  If your card
was in the list of supported cards, look at the card specific
instructions in the <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> file.  It
is safe to answer Y if you have a true MPU401 MIDI interface card.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"mpu401=<io>,<irq>" to the kernel command line.

SOUND_PAS

ProAudioSpectrum 16 support

Answer Y only if you have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16, ProAudio Studio
16 or Logitech SoundMan 16 sound card. Answer N if you have some
other card made by Media Vision or Logitech since those are not
PAS16 compatible. Please read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/PAS16>.
It is not necessary to add Sound Blaster support separately; it
is included in PAS support.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"pas2=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<sbio>,<sbirq>,<sbdma>,<sbdma2>
to the kernel command line.

PAS_JOYSTICK

Enable PAS16 joystick port

Say Y here to enable the Pro Audio Spectrum 16's auxiliary joystick
port.

SOUND_PSS

PSS (AD1848, ADSP-2115, ESC614) support

Answer Y or M if you have an Orchid SW32, Cardinal DSP16, Beethoven
ADSP-16 or some other card based on the PSS chipset (AD1848 codec +
ADSP-2115 DSP chip + Echo ESC614 ASIC CHIP). For more information on
how to compile it into the kernel or as a module see the file
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/PSS>.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"pss=<io>,<mssio>,<mssirq>,<mssdma>,<mpuio>,<mpuirq>" to the kernel
command line.

PSS_MIXER

Enable PSS mixer (Beethoven ADSP-16 and other compatible)

Answer Y for Beethoven ADSP-16. You may try to say Y also for other
cards if they have master volume, bass, treble, and you can't
control it under Linux. If you answer N for Beethoven ADSP-16, you
can't control master volume, bass, treble and synth volume.

If you said M to "PSS support" above, you may enable or disable this
PSS mixer with the module parameter pss_mixer. For more information
see the file <file:Documentation/sound/oss/PSS>.

PSS_HAVE_BOOT

Have DSPxxx.LD firmware file

If you have the DSPxxx.LD file or SYNTH.LD file for you card, say Y
to include this file. Without this file the synth device (OPL) may
not work.

PSS_BOOT_FILE

Full pathname of DSPxxx.LD firmware file

Enter the full pathname of your DSPxxx.LD file or SYNTH.LD file,
starting from /.

SOUND_SB

100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support

Answer Y if you have an original Sound Blaster card made by Creative
Labs or a 100% hardware compatible clone (like the Thunderboard or
SM Games). For an unknown card you may answer Y if the card claims
to be Sound Blaster-compatible.

Please read the file <file:Documentation/sound/oss/Soundblaster>.

You should also say Y here for cards based on the Avance Logic
ALS-007 and ALS-1X0 chips (read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/ALS>) and
for cards based on ESS chips (read
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/ESS1868> and
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/ESS>). If you have an SB AWE 32 or SB AWE
64, say Y here and also to "AWE32 synth" below and read
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/INSTALL.awe>. If you have an IBM Mwave
card, say Y here and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/mwave>.

If you compile the driver into the kernel and don't want to use
isapnp, you have to add "sb=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>" to the kernel
command line.

You can say M here to compile this driver as a module; the module is
called sb.

SOUND_YM3812

Yamaha FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support

Answer Y if your card has a FM chip made by Yamaha (OPL2/OPL3/OPL4).
Answering Y is usually a safe and recommended choice, however some
cards may have software (TSR) FM emulation. Enabling FM support with
these cards may cause trouble (I don't currently know of any such
cards, however). Please read the file
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/OPL3> if your card has an OPL3 chip.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"opl3=<io>" to the kernel command line.

If unsure, say Y.

SOUND_UART6850

6850 UART support

This option enables support for MIDI interfaces based on the 6850
UART chip. This interface is rarely found on sound cards. It's safe
to answer N to this question.

If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add
"uart6850=<io>,<irq>" to the kernel command line.

SOUND_AEDSP16

Gallant Audio Cards (SC-6000 and SC-6600 based)

Answer Y if you have a Gallant's Audio Excel DSP 16 card. This
driver supports Audio Excel DSP 16 but not the III nor PnP versions
of this card.

The Gallant's Audio Excel DSP 16 card can emulate either an SBPro or
a Microsoft Sound System card, so you should have said Y to either
"100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support"
or "Microsoft Sound System support", above, and you need to answer
the "MSS emulation" and "SBPro emulation" questions below
accordingly. You should say Y to one and only one of these two
questions.

Read the <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> file and the head of
<file:sound/oss/aedsp16.c> as well as
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/AudioExcelDSP16> to get more information
about this driver and its configuration.

SC6600

SC-6600 based audio cards (new Audio Excel DSP 16)

The SC6600 is the new version of DSP mounted on the Audio Excel DSP
16 cards. Find in the manual the FCC ID of your audio card and
answer Y if you have an SC6600 DSP.

SC6600_JOY

Activate SC-6600 Joystick Interface

Say Y here in order to use the joystick interface of the Audio Excel
DSP 16 card.

SC6600_CDROM

SC-6600 CDROM Interface (4=None, 3=IDE, 1=Panasonic, 0=?Sony?)

This is used to activate the CD-ROM interface of the Audio Excel
DSP 16 card. Enter: 0 for Sony, 1 for Panasonic, 2 for IDE, 4 for no
CD-ROM present.

SC6600_CDROMBASE

SC-6600 CDROM Interface I/O Address

Base I/O port address for the CD-ROM interface of the Audio Excel
DSP 16 card.

SOUND_VIDC

VIDC 16-bit sound

16-bit support for the VIDC onboard sound hardware found on Acorn
machines.

SOUND_WAVEARTIST

Netwinder WaveArtist

Say Y here to include support for the Rockwell WaveArtist sound
system.  This driver is mainly for the NetWinder.
