Currently, USB-audio driver allocates the PCM buffer via vmalloc(), as this serves merely as an intermediate buffer that is copied to each URB transfer buffer. This works well in general on x86, but on some archs this may result in cache coherency issues when mmap is used. OTOH, it works also on such arch unless mmap is used. This patch is a step for mitigating the inconvenience; a new module option "use_vmalloc" is provided so that user can choose to allocate the DMA coherent buffer instead of the existing vmalloc buffer. The drawback is that it'd be the standard dma_alloc_coherent() calls and the system would require contiguous pages on non-x86 archs. Note that it's a global option and not dynamically switchable since the buffer is pre-allocated at the probe time. In theory, it's possible to be switchable, but it'd be trickier and racier. As default use_vmalloc option is set to true, so that the old behavior is kept. For allowing the coherent mmap on ARM or MIPS, pass use_vmalloc=0 option explicitly.

|
Kernel Configuration
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with
|
|
primary sound card support (``CONFIG_SOUND``). Since ALSA can emulate
|
|
OSS, you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules.
|
|
|
|
Enable "OSS API emulation" (``CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL``) and both OSS mixer
|
|
and PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA.
|
|
|
|
If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as
|
|
SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support"
|
|
(``CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER``).
|
|
|
|
To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk"
|
|
and "Debug" options. To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory"
|
|
too. "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards.
|
|
|
|
Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API
|
|
(if the card supports ISA PnP). You don't need to configure the cards
|
|
using isapnptools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module parameters
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than
|
|
one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can
|
|
specify multiple values for the option separated by commas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module snd
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers.
|
|
It takes the following options which have global effects.
|
|
|
|
major
|
|
major number for sound driver;
|
|
Default: 116
|
|
cards_limit
|
|
limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8);
|
|
Default: 1;
|
|
For auto-loading more than one card, specify this option
|
|
together with snd-card-X aliases.
|
|
slots
|
|
Reserve the slot index for the given driver;
|
|
This option takes multiple strings.
|
|
See `Module Autoloading Support`_ section for details.
|
|
debug
|
|
Specifies the debug message level;
|
|
(0 = disable debug prints, 1 = normal debug messages,
|
|
2 = verbose debug messages);
|
|
This option appears only when ``CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y``.
|
|
This option can be dynamically changed via sysfs
|
|
/sys/modules/snd/parameters/debug file.
|
|
|
|
Module snd-pcm-oss
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The PCM OSS emulation module.
|
|
This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
|
|
|
|
dsp_map
|
|
PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device;
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
adsp_map
|
|
PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device;
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
nonblock_open
|
|
Don't block opening busy PCM devices;
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
For example, when ``dsp_map=2``, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of
|
|
the card #0. Similarly, when ``adsp_map=0``, /dev/adsp will be mapped
|
|
to PCM #0 of the card #0.
|
|
For changing the second or later card, specify the option with
|
|
commas, such like ``dsp_map=0,1``.
|
|
|
|
``nonblock_open`` option is used to change the behavior of the PCM
|
|
regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero,
|
|
opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return
|
|
immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag).
|
|
|
|
Module snd-rawmidi
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
|
|
similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module.
|
|
|
|
midi_map
|
|
MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device;
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
amidi_map
|
|
MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device;
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
Common parameters for top sound card modules
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Each of top level sound card module takes the following options.
|
|
|
|
index
|
|
index (slot #) of sound card;
|
|
Values: 0 through 31 or negative;
|
|
If nonnegative, assign that index number;
|
|
if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible indices;
|
|
the first free permitted index is assigned;
|
|
Default: -1
|
|
id
|
|
card ID (identifier or name);
|
|
Can be up to 15 characters long;
|
|
Default: the card type;
|
|
A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/
|
|
containing information about the card;
|
|
This ID can be used instead of the index number in
|
|
identifying the card
|
|
enable
|
|
enable card;
|
|
Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards
|
|
|
|
Module snd-adlib
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Module for AdLib FM cards.
|
|
|
|
port
|
|
port # for OPL chip
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so
|
|
the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388.
|
|
Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
|
|
synthesis.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have ``sbiload`` from the alsa-tools package available and,
|
|
after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
|
|
number through ``sbiload -l``.
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Port Client name Port name
|
|
64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port
|
|
|
|
Load the ``std.sb`` and ``drums.sb`` patches also supplied by ``sbiload``:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
|
|
|
|
If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use ``std.o3`` and ``drums.o3``
|
|
instead. To have the card produce sound, use ``aplaymidi`` from alsa-utils:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid
|

|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe:
|
|
``port``, ``wss_port``, ``irq`` and ``dma1`` have to be specified.
|
|
The other values are optional.
|
|
|
|
``port`` needs to match the BASE ADDRESS jumper on the card (0x220 or 0x240)
|
|
or the value stored in the card's EEPROM for cards that have an EEPROM and

|
their "CONFIG MODE" jumper set to "EEPROM SETTING". The other values can
|
|
be chosen freely from the options enumerated above.
|
|
|
|
If ``dma2`` is specified and different from ``dma1``, the card will operate in
|
|
full-duplex mode. When ``dma1=3``, only ``dma2=0`` is valid and the only way to
|
|
enable capture since only channels 0 and 1 are available for capture.
|
|
|
|
Generic settings are ``port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 irq=10 dma1=1 dma2=0
|
|
mpu_port=0x330 mpu_irq=9 fm_port=0x388``.

As default, snd-dummy drivers doesn't allocate the real buffers
|
|
but either ignores read/write or mmap a single dummy page to all
|
|
buffer pages, in order to save the resources. If your apps need
|
|
the read/ written buffer data to be consistent, pass fake_buffer=0

snoop
|
|
Enable/disable snooping (default = on)
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe.
|
|
|
|
See hd-audio/notes.rst for more details about HD-audio driver.
|
|
|
|
Each codec may have a model table for different configurations.
|
|
If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal)
|
|
configuration is set up. You can pass ``model=<name>`` option to
|
|
specify a certain model in such a case. There are different
|
|
models depending on the codec chip. The list of available models
|
|
is found in hd-audio/models.rst.
|
|
|
|
The model name ``generic`` is treated as a special case. When this
|
|
model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without
|
|
"codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging.
|
|
|
|
If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above
|
|
matches with your device, report it together with alsa-info.sh
|
|
output (with ``--no-upload`` option) to kernel bugzilla or alsa-devel
|
|
ML (see the section `Links and Addresses`_).
|
|
|
|
``power_save`` and ``power_save_controller`` options are for power-saving
|
|
mode. See powersave.txt for details.
|
|
|
|
Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
|
|
``position_fix=1`` or ``2``. ``position_fix=1`` will use the SD_LPIB
|
|
register value without FIFO size correction as the current
|
|
DMA pointer. ``position_fix=2`` will make the driver to use
|
|
the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register.
|
|
(Usually SD_LPIB register is more accurate than the
|
|
position buffer.)
|
|
|
|
``position_fix=3`` is specific to VIA devices. The position
|
|
of the capture stream is checked from both LPIB and POSBUF
|
|
values. ``position_fix=4`` is a combination mode, using LPIB
|
|
for playback and POSBUF for capture.
|
|
|
|
NB: If you get many ``azx_get_response timeout`` messages at
|
|
loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
|
|
routing). Try to boot with options like ``pci=noacpi``. Also, you
|
|
can try ``single_cmd=1`` module option. This will switch the
|
|
communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
|
|
single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the
|
|
single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
|
|
unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently
|
|
from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be
|
|
avoided as much as possible...
|
|
|
|
MORE NOTES ON ``azx_get_response timeout`` PROBLEMS:
|
|
On some hardware, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
|
|
to avoid the ``azx_get_response timeout`` problem above, instead.
|
|
This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
|
|
(likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
|
|
bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
|
|
``CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE``, or simply from the file name of the codec
|
|
proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
|
|
For example, ``probe_mask=1`` means to probe only the first slot, and
|
|
``probe_mask=4`` means only the third slot.
|
|
|
|
The power-management is supported.

Module snd-hdsp
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s)
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards.
|
|
|
|
Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug
|
|
when ``CONFIG_FW_LOADER`` is set. Otherwise, you need to load
|
|
the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools
|
|
package.
|
|
The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package.
|
|
|
|
Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem
|
|
module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance
|
|
when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer
|
|
allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early
|
|
stage of boot sequence. See `Early Buffer Allocation`_
|
|
section.

reset_workaround
|
|
enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops
|
|
reset_workaround2
|
|
enable extended AC97 RESET workaround for some other laptops
|
|
|
|
This module supports one chip and autoprobe.
|
|
|
|
The power-management is supported.
|
|
|
|
Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected
|
|
automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization.
|
|
In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via
|
|
the buffer_top option.
|
|
For example,
|
|
Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800
|
|
Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800
|
|
The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force
|
|
to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a
|
|
case, use ``force_ac97=1`` option - but *NO* guarantee whether it
|
|
works!
|
|
|
|
Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97
|
|
codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work
|
|
with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips,
|
|
even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try
|
|
other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP
|
|
but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify ``isapnp=0``
|
|
and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP.
|
|
|
|
Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the
|
|
known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this
|
|
workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a
|
|
hard freeze, you can try ``reset_workaround=1`` option.
|
|
|
|
Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding
|
|
AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is
|
|
turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the
|
|
previous reset_workaround option doesn't help.
|
|
|
|
Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the
|
|
OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering.
|
|
The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after*
|
|
X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load
|
|
the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that
|
|
you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of
|
|
problem.

Debug parameters for card initialization
|
|
wait_usecs
|
|
How long to wait without sleeping, usecs (default:150);
|
|
This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput
|
|
based on my limited experimentation.
|
|
If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be
|
|
my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us
|
|
to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible,
|
|
without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole
|
|
CPU.
|
|
Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status
|
|
waits, only about 250 result in a sleep.
|
|
sleep_interval
|
|
How long to sleep when waiting for reply (default: 100)
|
|
sleep_tries
|
|
How many times to try sleeping during a wait (default: 50)
|
|
ospath
|
|
Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware (default:wavefront.os);
|
|
The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent
|
|
version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it
|
|
must be installed in the proper path, typically,
|
|
/lib/firmware.
|
|
reset_time
|
|
How long to wait for a reset to take effect (default:2)
|
|
ramcheck_time
|
|
How many seconds to wait for the RAM test (default:20)
|
|
osrun_time
|
|
How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS (default:10)
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.
|
|
|
|
Note: the firmware file ``wavefront.os`` was located in the earlier
|
|
version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and
|
|
must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware.
|
|
Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error
|
|
regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel.

|
|
use_vmalloc
|
|
Use vmalloc() for allocations of the PCM buffers (default: yes).
|
|
For architectures with non-coherent memory like ARM or MIPS, the

|
|
check.
|
|
|
|
NB: ``ignore_ctl_error=1`` may help when you get an error at accessing
|
|
the mixer element such as URB error -22. This happens on some
|
|
buggy USB device or the controller.
|
|
|
|
NB: quirk_alias option is provided only for testing / development.

|
|
dxs_support
|
|
support DXS channels, 0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable,
|
|
3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample rate and different
|
|
sample rates on different channels [VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only]
|
|
ac97_quirk
|
|
AC'97 workaround for strange hardware;
|
|
See `AC97 Quirk Option`_ section below.
|
|
|
|
This module supports one chip and autoprobe.
|
|
|
|
Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might
|
|
not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to
|
|
set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of
|
|
default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be
|
|
assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS.
|
|
|
|
Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound)
|
|
channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4
|
|
streams can be played at the same time, and the controller
|
|
can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for
|
|
each channel.
|
|
As default (``dxs_support = 0``), 48k fixed rate is chosen
|
|
except for the known devices since the output is often
|
|
noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the
|
|
bug of BIOS.
|
|
Please try once ``dxs_support=5`` and if it works on other
|
|
sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us
|
|
know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of
|
|
``lspci -nv``).
|
|
If ``dxs_support=5`` does not work, try ``dxs_support=4``; if it
|
|
doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1. (dxs_support=1 is
|
|
usually for old motherboards. The correct implemented
|
|
board should work with 4 or 5.) If it still doesn't
|
|
work and the default setting is ok, ``dxs_support=3`` is the
|
|
right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all,
|
|
try ``dxs_support=2`` to disable the DXS channels.
|
|
In any cases, please let us know the result and the
|
|
subsystem vendor/device ids. See `Links and Addresses`_
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver
|
|
additionally. The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only.
|
|
|
|
The power-management is supported.
|
|
|

|
|
ibl
|
|
Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size)
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards.
|
|
|
|
When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
|
|
is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
|
|
Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
|
|
When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
|
|
firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke
|
|
vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222\
|
|
&& /usr/bin/vxloader
|
|
|
|
(for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add ``post-install /usr/bin/vxloader`` to
|
|
/etc/modules.conf, instead.)
|
|
IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size
|
|
gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too.
|
|
The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest
|
|
size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in
|
|
/proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file.
|
|
|
|
The power-management is supported.
|
|
|
|
Module snd-vxpocket
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX2 and 440 PCMCIA cards.
|
|
|
|
ibl
|
|
Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size)
|
|
|
|
This module supports multiple cards. The module is compiled only when
|
|
PCMCIA is supported on kernel.
|
|
|
|
With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card
|
|
manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf. See the
|
|
sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c. 2.6.13 or later kernel requires no
|
|
longer require a config file.
|
|
|
|
When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
|
|
is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
|
|
Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
|
|
When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
|
|
firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package.
|
|
|
|
About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module.
|
|
|
|
Note: snd-vxp440 driver is merged to snd-vxpocket driver since
|
|
ALSA 1.0.10.

|
|
AC97 Quirk Option
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for
|
|
specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like
|
|
snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master
|
|
and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97
|
|
specifications from version to version :-)
|
|
|
|
The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices,
|
|
but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass
|
|
the proper value with this option.
|
|
|
|
The following strings are accepted:
|
|
|
|
default
|
|
Don't override the default setting
|
|
none
|
|
Disable the quirk
|
|
hp_only
|
|
Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control
|
|
swap_hp
|
|
Swap headphone and master controls
|
|
swap_surround
|
|
Swap master and surround controls
|
|
ad_sharing
|
|
For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone
|
|
alc_jack
|
|
For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode
|
|
inv_eapd
|
|
Inverted EAPD implementation
|
|
mute_led
|
|
Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED
|
|
|
|
For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0, ...
|
|
are accepted, too.
|
|
|
|
For example, if ``Master`` volume control has no effect on your device
|
|
but only ``Headphone`` does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules
|
|
supporting the isapnp cards will have module options ``isapnp``.
|
|
If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed.
|
|
For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass ``isapnp=0`` option
|
|
together with the proper i/o and irq configuration.
|
|
|
|
When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option
|
|
will be not built in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Module Autoloading Support
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining
|
|
module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` is requested for ALSA native
|
|
devices where ``%i`` is sound card number from zero to seven.
|
|
|
|
To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
|
|
``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot number for OSS, which
|
|
corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this
|
|
as the same card module.
|
|
|
|
An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
|
|
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
|
|
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
|
|
----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
|
|
|
|
The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module
|
|
option ``cards_limit`` of snd module. As default it's set to 1.
|
|
To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of
|
|
sound cards in that option.
|
|
|
|
When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index
|
|
number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of
|
|
cards is kept consistent.
|
|
|
|
An example configuration for two sound cards is like below:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
|
|
# ALSA portion
|
|
options snd cards_limit=2
|
|
alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
|
|
alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
|
|
options snd-interwave index=0
|
|
options snd-ens1371 index=1
|
|
# OSS/Free portion
|
|
alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave
|
|
alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371
|
|
----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
|
|
|
|
In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
|
|
(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
|
|
|
|
Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use
|
|
``slots`` option of snd module. In the case above, specify like the
|
|
following:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371
|
|
|
|
Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and
|
|
the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each
|
|
driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at
|
|
the same time as long as they don't conflict).
|
|
|
|
The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible
|
|
hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the
|
|
case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any
|
|
other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or
|
|
snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot.
|
|
|
|
When a module name is given with '!', the slot will be given for any
|
|
modules but that name. For example, ``slots=!snd-pcsp`` will reserve
|
|
the first slot for any modules but snd-pcsp.
|
|
|
|
|
|

/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44
|
|
|
|
The first number from ``/dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p]`` expression means
|
|
sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices
|
|
have either ``c`` or ``p`` suffix indicating the direction, capture and
|
|
playback, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module
|
|
options of snd-pcm-oss module.

Early Buffer Allocation
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and
|
|
sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is
|
|
actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the
|
|
PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its
|
|
proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like
|
|
``/etc/init.d/*.local`` scripts.
|
|
|
|
Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current
|
|
usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following
|
|
commands to the snd-page-alloc driver:
|
|
|
|
* add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS
|
|
|
|
VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take
|
|
integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex).
|
|
MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted.
|
|
SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass
|
|
k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB.
|
|
BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater
|
|
than 0. The max number is 4.
|
|
|
|
* erase
|
|
|
|
This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in
|
|
use.
