Pq "MPU401 port" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver supports the +SoundBlaster 16, Jazz 16, SoundBlaster AWE 32, SoundBlaster AWE 64, +and hardware register-level compatible audio cards. +.Pp +The SoundBlaster series are half-duplex cards, capable of 8- and 16-bit +audio sample recording and playback at rates up to 44.1kHz (depending on +the particular model). +.Pp +The base I/O port address is usually jumper-selected to either 0x220 or +0x240 (newer cards may provide software configuration, but this driver +does not directly support them--you must configure the card for its I/O +addresses with other software). +The SoundBlaster takes 16 I/O ports. +For the SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Pro, the IRQ and DRQ channels are +jumper-selected. +For the SoundBlaster 16, the IRQ and DRQ channels are set by this driver +to the values specified in the config file. +The IRQ must be selected from the set {5,7,9,10}. +.Pp +The configuration file must set the value of +.Cm flags +to 1 to enable the Jazz16 support. +This is to avoid potential conflicts with other devices when probing the +Jazz 16 because it requires use of extra I/O ports not in the base port range. +.Pp +The joystick interface (if enabled by a jumper) is handled by the +.Xr joy 4 +driver, and the optional SCSI CD-ROM interface is handled by the +.Xr aic 4 +driver. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr aic 4 , +.Xr audio 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr isa 4 , +.Xr isapnp 4 , +.Xr joy 4 , +.Xr midi 4 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver appeared in +.Nx 1.0 . +.Sh BUGS +With a SoundBlaster 16 card the device is full duplex, but it can +only sensibly handle a precision of 8 bits. +It does so by extending +the output 8 bit samples to 16 bits and using the 8 bit DMA channel +for input and the 16 bit channel for output. +.Pp +The non-SCSI CD-ROM interfaces found on some older cards are not supported. |
