2 | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver Configuration guide | |
3 | ============================================================== | |
4 | ||
5 | ||
6 | Kernel Configuration | |
7 | ==================== | |
8 | ||
9 | To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with | |
10 | primary sound card support (``CONFIG_SOUND``). Since ALSA can emulate | |
11 | OSS, you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules. | |
12 | ||
13 | Enable "OSS API emulation" (``CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL``) and both OSS mixer | |
14 | and PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA. | |
15 | ||
16 | If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as | |
17 | SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support" | |
18 | (``CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER``). | |
19 | ||
20 | To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk" | |
21 | and "Debug" options. To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory" | |
22 | too. "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards. | |
23 | ||
24 | Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API | |
25 | (if the card supports ISA PnP). You don't need to configure the cards | |
26 | using isapnptools. | |
27 | ||
28 | ||
29 | Module parameters | |
30 | ================= | |
31 | ||
32 | The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than | |
33 | one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can | |
34 | specify multiple values for the option separated by commas. | |
35 | ||
36 | ||
37 | Module snd | |
38 | ---------- | |
39 | ||
40 | The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers. | |
41 | It takes the following options which have global effects. | |
42 | ||
43 | major | |
44 | major number for sound driver; | |
45 | Default: 116 | |
46 | cards_limit | |
47 | limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8); | |
48 | Default: 1; | |
49 | For auto-loading more than one card, specify this option | |
50 | together with snd-card-X aliases. | |
51 | slots | |
52 | Reserve the slot index for the given driver; | |
53 | This option takes multiple strings. | |
54 | See `Module Autoloading Support`_ section for details. | |
55 | debug | |
56 | Specifies the debug message level; | |
57 | (0 = disable debug prints, 1 = normal debug messages, | |
58 | 2 = verbose debug messages); | |
59 | This option appears only when ``CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y``. | |
60 | This option can be dynamically changed via sysfs | |
61 | /sys/modules/snd/parameters/debug file. | |
62 | ||
63 | Module snd-pcm-oss | |
64 | ------------------ | |
65 | ||
66 | The PCM OSS emulation module. | |
67 | This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. | |
68 | ||
69 | dsp_map | |
70 | PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device; | |
71 | Default: 0 | |
72 | adsp_map | |
ba35c3a5 | 73 | PCM device number maps assigned to the 2nd OSS device; |
f6d23df5 TI |
74 | Default: 1 |
75 | nonblock_open | |
76 | Don't block opening busy PCM devices; | |
77 | Default: 1 | |
78 | ||
79 | For example, when ``dsp_map=2``, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of | |
80 | the card #0. Similarly, when ``adsp_map=0``, /dev/adsp will be mapped | |
81 | to PCM #0 of the card #0. | |
82 | For changing the second or later card, specify the option with | |
83 | commas, such like ``dsp_map=0,1``. | |
84 | ||
85 | ``nonblock_open`` option is used to change the behavior of the PCM | |
86 | regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero, | |
87 | opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return | |
88 | immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag). | |
89 | ||
90 | Module snd-rawmidi | |
91 | ------------------ | |
92 | ||
93 | This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. | |
94 | similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module. | |
95 | ||
96 | midi_map | |
97 | MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device; | |
98 | Default: 0 | |
99 | amidi_map | |
ba35c3a5 | 100 | MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2nd OSS device; |
f6d23df5 TI |
101 | Default: 1 |
102 | ||
b0e3b0a7 SZ |
103 | Module snd-soc-core |
104 | ------------------- | |
105 | ||
106 | The soc core module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers. | |
107 | It takes the following options which have global effects. | |
108 | ||
109 | prealloc_buffer_size_kbytes | |
110 | Specify prealloc buffer size in kbytes (default: 512). | |
111 | ||
f6d23df5 TI |
112 | Common parameters for top sound card modules |
113 | -------------------------------------------- | |
114 | ||
115 | Each of top level sound card module takes the following options. | |
116 | ||
117 | index | |
118 | index (slot #) of sound card; | |
119 | Values: 0 through 31 or negative; | |
120 | If nonnegative, assign that index number; | |
121 | if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible indices; | |
122 | the first free permitted index is assigned; | |
123 | Default: -1 | |
124 | id | |
125 | card ID (identifier or name); | |
126 | Can be up to 15 characters long; | |
127 | Default: the card type; | |
128 | A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/ | |
129 | containing information about the card; | |
130 | This ID can be used instead of the index number in | |
131 | identifying the card | |
132 | enable | |
133 | enable card; | |
134 | Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards | |
135 | ||
136 | Module snd-adlib | |
137 | ---------------- | |
138 | ||
139 | Module for AdLib FM cards. | |
140 | ||
141 | port | |
142 | port # for OPL chip | |
143 | ||
144 | This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so | |
145 | the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388. | |
146 | Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM | |
147 | synthesis. | |
148 | ||
149 | Make sure you have ``sbiload`` from the alsa-tools package available and, | |
150 | after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port | |
151 | number through ``sbiload -l``. | |
152 | ||
153 | Example output: | |
154 | :: | |
155 | ||
156 | Port Client name Port name | |
157 | 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port | |
158 | ||
159 | Load the ``std.sb`` and ``drums.sb`` patches also supplied by ``sbiload``: | |
160 | :: | |
161 | ||
162 | sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb | |
163 | ||
164 | If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use ``std.o3`` and ``drums.o3`` | |
165 | instead. To have the card produce sound, use ``aplaymidi`` from alsa-utils: | |
166 | :: | |
167 | ||
168 | aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid | |
169 | ||

323 | ``spdif`` pcm device, which allows raw data passthru. | |
324 | The hardware EQ hardware and SPDIF is only present in the Vortex2 and | |
325 | Advantage. | |
326 | ||
327 | Note: Some ALSA mixer applications don't handle the SPDIF sample rate | |
328 | control correctly. If you have problems regarding this, try | |
329 | another ALSA compliant mixer (alsamixer works). | |
330 | ||
331 | Module snd-azt1605 | |
332 | ------------------ | |
333 | ||
334 | Module for Aztech Sound Galaxy soundcards based on the Aztech AZT1605 | |

353 | ||
354 | This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe: | |
355 | ``port``, ``wss_port``, ``irq`` and ``dma1`` have to be specified. | |
356 | The other values are optional. | |
357 | ||
358 | ``port`` needs to match the BASE ADDRESS jumper on the card (0x220 or 0x240) | |
359 | or the value stored in the card's EEPROM for cards that have an EEPROM and | |
360 | their "CONFIG MODE" jumper set to "EEPROM SETTING". The other values can | |
361 | be chosen freely from the options enumerated above. | |
362 | ||
363 | If ``dma2`` is specified and different from ``dma1``, the card will operate in | |
364 | full-duplex mode. When ``dma1=3``, only ``dma2=0`` is valid and the only way to | |
365 | enable capture since only channels 0 and 1 are available for capture. | |
366 | ||
367 | Generic settings are ``port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 irq=10 dma1=1 dma2=0 | |
368 | mpu_port=0x330 mpu_irq=9 fm_port=0x388``. | |
369 | ||
370 | Whatever IRQ and DMA channels you pick, be sure to reserve them for | |
371 | legacy ISA in your BIOS. | |

1000 | PCH, SCH), ATI SB450, SB600, R600, RS600, RS690, RS780, RV610, RV620, | |
1001 | RV630, RV635, RV670, RV770, VIA VT8251/VT8237A, SIS966, ULI M5461 | |
1002 | ||
1003 | [Multiple options for each card instance] | |
1004 | ||
1005 | model | |
1006 | force the model name | |
1007 | position_fix | |
1008 | Fix DMA pointer; | |
1009 | -1 = system default: choose appropriate one per controller hardware, | |
1010 | 0 = auto: falls back to LPIB when POSBUF doesn't work, | |
1011 | 1 = use LPIB, | |
1012 | 2 = POSBUF: use position buffer, | |
1013 | 3 = VIACOMBO: VIA-specific workaround for capture, | |
1014 | 4 = COMBO: use LPIB for playback, auto for capture stream | |
67d94c21 TI |
1015 | 5 = SKL+: apply the delay calculation available on recent Intel chips |
1016 | 6 = FIFO: correct the position with the fixed FIFO size, for recent AMD chips | |
f6d23df5 TI |
1017 | probe_mask |
1018 | Bitmask to probe codecs (default = -1, meaning all slots); | |
1019 | When the bit 8 (0x100) is set, the lower 8 bits are used | |
1020 | as the "fixed" codec slots; i.e. the driver probes the | |
1021 | slots regardless what hardware reports back | |
1022 | probe_only | |
1023 | Only probing and no codec initialization (default=off); | |
1024 | Useful to check the initial codec status for debugging | |
1025 | bdl_pos_adj | |
1026 | Specifies the DMA IRQ timing delay in samples. | |
1027 | Passing -1 will make the driver to choose the appropriate | |
1028 | value based on the controller chip. | |
1029 | patch | |
1030 | Specifies the early "patch" files to modify the HD-audio setup | |
1031 | before initializing the codecs. | |
1032 | This option is available only when ``CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y`` | |
1033 | is set. See hd-audio/notes.rst for details. | |
1034 | beep_mode | |
1035 | Selects the beep registration mode (0=off, 1=on); | |
1036 | default value is set via ``CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP_MODE`` kconfig. | |
1037 | ||
1038 | [Single (global) options] | |
1039 | ||
1040 | single_cmd | |
1041 | Use single immediate commands to communicate with codecs | |
1042 | (for debugging only) | |
1043 | enable_msi | |
1044 | Enable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) (default = off) | |
1045 | power_save | |
1046 | Automatic power-saving timeout (in second, 0 = disable) | |
1047 | power_save_controller | |
1048 | Reset HD-audio controller in power-saving mode (default = on) | |
1049 | align_buffer_size | |
1050 | Force rounding of buffer/period sizes to multiples of 128 bytes. | |
1051 | This is more efficient in terms of memory access but isn't | |
1052 | required by the HDA spec and prevents users from specifying | |
1053 | exact period/buffer sizes. (default = on) | |
1054 | snoop | |
1055 | Enable/disable snooping (default = on) | |
1056 | ||
1057 | This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. | |
1058 | ||
1059 | See hd-audio/notes.rst for more details about HD-audio driver. | |
1060 | ||
1061 | Each codec may have a model table for different configurations. | |
1062 | If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal) | |
1063 | configuration is set up. You can pass ``model=<name>`` option to | |
1064 | specify a certain model in such a case. There are different | |
1065 | models depending on the codec chip. The list of available models | |
1066 | is found in hd-audio/models.rst. | |
1067 | ||
1068 | The model name ``generic`` is treated as a special case. When this | |
1069 | model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without | |
1070 | "codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging. | |
1071 | ||
4a1672d1 TI |
1072 | The model option can be used also for aliasing to another PCI or codec |
1073 | SSID. When it's passed in the form of ``model=XXXX:YYYY`` where XXXX | |
1074 | and YYYY are the sub-vendor and sub-device IDs in hex numbers, | |
1075 | respectively, the driver will refer to that SSID as a reference to the | |
1076 | quirk table. | |
1077 | ||
f6d23df5 TI |
1078 | If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above |
1079 | matches with your device, report it together with alsa-info.sh | |
1080 | output (with ``--no-upload`` option) to kernel bugzilla or alsa-devel | |
1081 | ML (see the section `Links and Addresses`_). | |
1082 | ||
1083 | ``power_save`` and ``power_save_controller`` options are for power-saving | |
9225e4e0 | 1084 | mode. See powersave.rst for details. |
f6d23df5 TI |
1085 | |
1086 | Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option | |
1087 | ``position_fix=1`` or ``2``. ``position_fix=1`` will use the SD_LPIB | |
1088 | register value without FIFO size correction as the current | |
1089 | DMA pointer. ``position_fix=2`` will make the driver to use | |
1090 | the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register. | |
1091 | (Usually SD_LPIB register is more accurate than the | |
1092 | position buffer.) | |
1093 | ||
1094 | ``position_fix=3`` is specific to VIA devices. The position | |
1095 | of the capture stream is checked from both LPIB and POSBUF | |
1096 | values. ``position_fix=4`` is a combination mode, using LPIB | |
1097 | for playback and POSBUF for capture. | |
1098 | ||
1099 | NB: If you get many ``azx_get_response timeout`` messages at | |
1100 | loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq | |
1101 | routing). Try to boot with options like ``pci=noacpi``. Also, you | |
1102 | can try ``single_cmd=1`` module option. This will switch the | |
1103 | communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the | |
1104 | single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the | |
1105 | single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get | |
1106 | unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently | |
1107 | from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be | |
1108 | avoided as much as possible... | |
1109 | ||
1110 | MORE NOTES ON ``azx_get_response timeout`` PROBLEMS: | |
1111 | On some hardware, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option | |
1112 | to avoid the ``azx_get_response timeout`` problem above, instead. | |
1113 | This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot | |
1114 | (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio | |
1115 | bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling | |
1116 | ``CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE``, or simply from the file name of the codec | |
1117 | proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option. | |
1118 | For example, ``probe_mask=1`` means to probe only the first slot, and | |
1119 | ``probe_mask=4`` means only the third slot. | |
1120 | ||
1121 | The power-management is supported. | |

1123 | Module snd-hdsp | |
1124 | --------------- | |
1125 | ||
1126 | Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s) | |
1127 | ||
1128 | This module supports multiple cards. | |
1129 | ||
1130 | Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug | |
1131 | when ``CONFIG_FW_LOADER`` is set. Otherwise, you need to load | |
1132 | the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools | |
1133 | package. | |
1134 | The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package. | |
1135 | ||
1136 | Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem | |
1137 | module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance | |
1138 | when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer | |
1139 | allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early | |
1140 | stage of boot sequence. See `Early Buffer Allocation`_ | |

1659 | reset_workaround2 | |

1661 | ||
1662 | This module supports one chip and autoprobe. | |
1663 | ||
1664 | The power-management is supported. | |
1665 | ||
1666 | Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected | |
1667 | automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization. | |
1668 | In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via | |
1669 | the buffer_top option. | |
1670 | For example, | |
1671 | Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800 | |
1672 | Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800 | |
1673 | The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force | |
1674 | to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a | |
1675 | case, use ``force_ac97=1`` option - but *NO* guarantee whether it | |
1676 | works! | |
1677 | ||
1678 | Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97 | |
1679 | codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work | |
1680 | with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips, | |
1681 | even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try | |
1682 | other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP | |
1683 | but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify ``isapnp=0`` | |
1684 | and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP. | |
1685 | ||
1686 | Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the | |
1687 | known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this | |
1688 | workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a | |
1689 | hard freeze, you can try ``reset_workaround=1`` option. | |
1690 | ||
1691 | Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding | |
1692 | AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is | |
1693 | turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the | |
1694 | previous reset_workaround option doesn't help. | |
1695 | ||
1696 | Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the | |
1697 | OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering. | |
1698 | The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after* | |
1699 | X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load | |
1700 | the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that | |
1701 | you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of | |
1702 | problem. | |

2101 | ||
2102 | The below are options for wavefront_synth features: | |
2103 | ||
2104 | wf_raw | |
2105 | Assume that we need to boot the OS (default:no); | |
2106 | If yes, then during driver loading, the state of the board is | |
2107 | ignored, and we reset the board and load the firmware anyway. | |
2108 | fx_raw | |
2109 | Assume that the FX process needs help (default:yes); | |
2110 | If false, we'll leave the FX processor in whatever state it is | |
2111 | when the driver is loaded. The default is to download the | |
2112 | microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for | |
2113 | "default" operation, whatever that means. | |
2114 | debug_default | |
2115 | Debug parameters for card initialization | |
2116 | wait_usecs | |
2117 | How long to wait without sleeping, usecs (default:150); | |
2118 | This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput | |
2119 | based on my limited experimentation. | |
2120 | If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be | |
2121 | my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us | |
2122 | to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible, | |
2123 | without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole | |
2124 | CPU. | |
2125 | Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status | |
2126 | waits, only about 250 result in a sleep. | |
2127 | sleep_interval | |
2128 | How long to sleep when waiting for reply (default: 100) | |
2129 | sleep_tries | |
2130 | How many times to try sleeping during a wait (default: 50) | |
2131 | ospath | |
2132 | Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware (default:wavefront.os); | |
2133 | The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent | |
2134 | version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it | |
2135 | must be installed in the proper path, typically, | |
2136 | /lib/firmware. | |
2137 | reset_time | |
2138 | How long to wait for a reset to take effect (default:2) | |
2139 | ramcheck_time | |
2140 | How many seconds to wait for the RAM test (default:20) | |
2141 | osrun_time | |
2142 | How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS (default:10) | |
2143 | ||
2144 | This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP. | |
2145 | ||
2146 | Note: the firmware file ``wavefront.os`` was located in the earlier | |
2147 | version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and | |
2148 | must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware. | |
2149 | Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error | |
2150 | regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel. | |
2151 | ||
2152 | Module snd-sonicvibes | |
2153 | --------------------- | |
2154 | ||
2155 | Module for S3 SonicVibes PCI sound cards. | |
2156 | * PINE Schubert 32 PCI | |

2160 | SoundCard must have onboard SRAM for this. | |
2161 | mge | |
2162 | Mic Gain Enable - 1 = enable, 0 = disable (default) | |
2163 | ||
2164 | This module supports multiple cards and autoprobe. | |

2187 | 3 = MS-124W M/B, 4 = Generic | |
2188 | ||
2189 | This module supports multiple cards. This module does not support autoprobe | |
2190 | thus the main port must be specified!!! Other options are optional. | |
2191 | ||
2192 | Module snd-trident | |

2219 | Module for the Edirol UA-101/UA-1000 audio/MIDI interfaces. | |
2220 | ||
2221 | This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. | |
2222 | ||
2223 | Module snd-usb-audio | |
2224 | -------------------- | |
2225 | ||
2226 | Module for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. | |
2227 | ||
2228 | vid | |
2229 | Vendor ID for the device (optional) | |
2230 | pid | |
2231 | Product ID for the device (optional) | |
2232 | nrpacks | |
2233 | Max. number of packets per URB (default: 8) | |
2234 | device_setup | |
2235 | Device specific magic number (optional); | |
2236 | Influence depends on the device | |
2237 | Default: 0x0000 | |
2238 | ignore_ctl_error | |
2239 | Ignore any USB-controller regarding mixer interface (default: no) | |
2240 | autoclock | |
2241 | Enable auto-clock selection for UAC2 devices (default: yes) | |
2242 | quirk_alias | |
2243 | Quirk alias list, pass strings like ``0123abcd:5678beef``, which | |
2244 | applies the existing quirk for the device 5678:beef to a new | |
2245 | device 0123:abcd. | |
62abd092 TI |
2246 | implicit_fb |
2247 | Apply the generic implicit feedback sync mode. When this is set | |
2248 | and the playback stream sync mode is ASYNC, the driver tries to | |
2249 | tie an adjacent ASYNC capture stream as the implicit feedback | |
0f1f7a66 | 2250 | source. This is equivalent with quirk_flags bit 17. |
f274baa4 TI |
2251 | use_vmalloc |
2252 | Use vmalloc() for allocations of the PCM buffers (default: yes). | |
2253 | For architectures with non-coherent memory like ARM or MIPS, the | |
2254 | mmap access may give inconsistent results with vmalloc'ed | |
2255 | buffers. If mmap is used on such architectures, turn off this | |
2256 | option, so that the DMA-coherent buffers are allocated and used | |
2257 | instead. | |
2ceb65cd TI |
2258 | delayed_register |
2259 | The option is needed for devices that have multiple streams | |
2260 | defined in multiple USB interfaces. The driver may invoke | |
2261 | registrations multiple times (once per interface) and this may | |
2262 | lead to the insufficient device enumeration. | |
2263 | This option receives an array of strings, and you can pass | |
2264 | ID:INTERFACE like ``0123abcd:4`` for performing the delayed | |
2265 | registration to the given device. In this example, when a USB | |
2266 | device 0123:abcd is probed, the driver waits the registration | |
2267 | until the USB interface 4 gets probed. | |
2268 | The driver prints a message like "Found post-registration device | |
2269 | assignment: 1234abcd:04" for such a device, so that user can | |
2270 | notice the need. | |
a39978ed TI |
2271 | quirk_flags |
2272 | Contains the bit flags for various device specific workarounds. | |
2273 | Applied to the corresponding card index. | |

2278 | * bit 3: Add length specifier to transfers | |
2279 | * bit 4: Start playback stream at first in implement feedback mode | |
2280 | * bit 5: Skip clock selector setup | |
2281 | * bit 6: Ignore errors from clock source search | |
2282 | * bit 7: Indicates ITF-USB DSD based DACs | |
2283 | * bit 8: Add a delay of 20ms at each control message handling | |
2284 | * bit 9: Add a delay of 1-2ms at each control message handling | |
2285 | * bit 10: Add a delay of 5-6ms at each control message handling | |
2286 | * bit 11: Add a delay of 50ms at each interface setup | |
2287 | * bit 12: Perform sample rate validations at probe | |
2288 | * bit 13: Disable runtime PM autosuspend | |
2289 | * bit 14: Ignore errors for mixer access | |
2290 | * bit 15: Support generic DSD raw U32_BE format | |
6e413409 | 2291 | * bit 16: Set up the interface at first like UAC1 |
0f1f7a66 TI |
2292 | * bit 17: Apply the generic implicit feedback sync mode |
2293 | * bit 18: Don't apply implicit feedback sync mode | |

2294 | |
2295 | This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. | |
2296 | ||
2297 | NB: ``nrpacks`` parameter can be modified dynamically via sysfs. | |
2298 | Don't put the value over 20. Changing via sysfs has no sanity | |
2299 | check. | |
2300 | ||
2301 | NB: ``ignore_ctl_error=1`` may help when you get an error at accessing | |
2302 | the mixer element such as URB error -22. This happens on some | |
a39978ed TI |
2303 | buggy USB device or the controller. This workaround corresponds to |
2304 | the ``quirk_flags`` bit 14, too. | |
f6d23df5 | 2305 | |
a39978ed | 2306 | NB: ``quirk_alias`` option is provided only for testing / development. |
f6d23df5 TI |
2307 | If you want to have a proper support, contact to upstream for |
2308 | adding the matching quirk in the driver code statically. | |
a39978ed TI |
2309 | Ditto for ``quirk_flags``. If a device is known to require specific |
2310 | workarounds, please report to the upstream. | |

2329 | This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging. | |
2330 | ||
2331 | Note: you need to load the firmware via ``usx2yloader`` utility included | |
2332 | in alsa-tools and alsa-firmware packages. | |
2333 | ||
2334 | Module snd-via82xx | |
2335 | ------------------ | |
2336 | ||
2337 | Module for AC'97 motherboards based on VIA 82C686A/686B, 8233, 8233A, | |
2338 | 8233C, 8235, 8237 (south) bridge. | |
2339 | ||
2340 | mpu_port | |
2341 | 0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330, otherwise obtain BIOS setup | |
2342 | [VIA686A/686B only] | |
2343 | joystick | |
2344 | Enable joystick (default off) [VIA686A/686B only] | |
2345 | ac97_clock | |
2346 | AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) | |
2347 | dxs_support | |
2348 | support DXS channels, 0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable, | |
2349 | 3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample rate and different | |
2350 | sample rates on different channels [VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only] | |
2351 | ac97_quirk | |
2352 | AC'97 workaround for strange hardware; | |
2353 | See `AC97 Quirk Option`_ section below. | |
2354 | ||
2355 | This module supports one chip and autoprobe. | |
2356 | ||
2357 | Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might | |
2358 | not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to | |
2359 | set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of | |
2360 | default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be | |
2361 | assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS. | |
2362 | ||
2363 | Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound) | |
2364 | channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4 | |
2365 | streams can be played at the same time, and the controller | |
2366 | can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for | |
2367 | each channel. | |
2368 | As default (``dxs_support = 0``), 48k fixed rate is chosen | |
2369 | except for the known devices since the output is often | |
2370 | noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the | |
2371 | bug of BIOS. | |
2372 | Please try once ``dxs_support=5`` and if it works on other | |
2373 | sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us | |
2374 | know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of | |
2375 | ``lspci -nv``). | |
2376 | If ``dxs_support=5`` does not work, try ``dxs_support=4``; if it | |
2377 | doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1. (dxs_support=1 is | |
2378 | usually for old motherboards. The correct implemented | |
2379 | board should work with 4 or 5.) If it still doesn't | |
2380 | work and the default setting is ok, ``dxs_support=3`` is the | |
2381 | right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all, | |
2382 | try ``dxs_support=2`` to disable the DXS channels. | |
2383 | In any cases, please let us know the result and the | |
2384 | subsystem vendor/device ids. See `Links and Addresses`_ | |
2385 | below. | |
2386 | ||
2387 | Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver | |
2388 | additionally. The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only. | |
2389 | ||
2390 | The power-management is supported. | |
2391 | ||
2392 | Module snd-via82xx-modem | |
2393 | ------------------------ | |
2394 | ||
2395 | Module for VIA82xx AC97 modem | |
2396 | ||
2397 | ac97_clock | |
2398 | AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz) | |
2399 | ||
2400 | This module supports one card and autoprobe. | |
2401 | ||
2402 | Note: The default index value of this module is -2, i.e. the first | |
2403 | slot is excluded. | |
2404 | ||
2405 | The power-management is supported. | |
2406 | ||
2407 | Module snd-virmidi | |
2408 | ------------------ | |
2409 | ||
2410 | Module for virtual rawmidi devices. | |
2411 | This module creates virtual rawmidi devices which communicate | |
2412 | to the corresponding ALSA sequencer ports. | |
2413 | ||
2414 | midi_devs | |
2415 | MIDI devices # (1-4, default=4) | |
2416 | ||
2417 | This module supports multiple cards. | |
2418 | ||
2419 | Module snd-virtuoso | |
2420 | ------------------- | |
2421 | ||
2422 | Module for sound cards based on the Asus AV66/AV100/AV200 chips, | |
2423 | i.e., Xonar D1, DX, D2, D2X, DS, DSX, Essence ST (Deluxe), | |
2424 | Essence STX (II), HDAV1.3 (Deluxe), and HDAV1.3 Slim. | |
2425 | ||
2426 | This module supports autoprobe and multiple cards. | |
2427 | ||
2428 | Module snd-vx222 | |
2429 | ---------------- | |
2430 | ||
2431 | Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX222, V222 v2 and Mic cards. | |
2432 | ||
2433 | mic | |
2434 | Enable Microphone on V222 Mic (NYI) | |
2435 | ibl | |
2436 | Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) | |
2437 | ||
2438 | This module supports multiple cards. | |
2439 | ||
2440 | When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware | |
2441 | is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. | |
2442 | Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. | |
2443 | When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the | |
2444 | firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke | |
2445 | vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf | |
2446 | ||
2447 | :: | |
2448 | ||
2449 | install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222\ | |
2450 | && /usr/bin/vxloader | |
2451 | ||
2452 | (for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add ``post-install /usr/bin/vxloader`` to | |
2453 | /etc/modules.conf, instead.) | |
2454 | IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size | |
2455 | gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too. | |
2456 | The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest | |
2457 | size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in | |
2458 | /proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file. | |
2459 | ||
2460 | The power-management is supported. | |
2461 | ||
2462 | Module snd-vxpocket | |
2463 | ------------------- | |
2464 | ||
2465 | Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX2 and 440 PCMCIA cards. | |
2466 | ||
2467 | ibl | |
2468 | Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size) | |
2469 | ||
2470 | This module supports multiple cards. The module is compiled only when | |
2471 | PCMCIA is supported on kernel. | |
2472 | ||
2473 | With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card | |
2474 | manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf. See the | |
2475 | sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c. 2.6.13 or later kernel requires no | |
2476 | longer require a config file. | |
2477 | ||
2478 | When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware | |
2479 | is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. | |
2480 | Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. | |
2481 | When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the | |
2482 | firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. | |
2483 | ||
2484 | About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module. | |
2485 | ||
2486 | Note: snd-vxp440 driver is merged to snd-vxpocket driver since | |
2487 | ALSA 1.0.10. | |
2488 | ||
2489 | The power-management is supported. | |
2490 | ||
2491 | Module snd-ymfpci | |
2492 | ----------------- | |
2493 | ||
2494 | Module for Yamaha PCI chips (YMF72x, YMF74x & YMF75x). | |
2495 | ||
2496 | mpu_port | |
2497 | 0x300,0x330,0x332,0x334, 0 (disable) by default, | |
2498 | 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) | |
2499 | fm_port | |
2500 | 0x388,0x398,0x3a0,0x3a8, 0 (disable) by default | |
2501 | 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only) | |
2502 | joystick_port | |
2503 | 0x201,0x202,0x204,0x205, 0 (disable) by default, | |
2504 | 1 (auto-detect) | |
2505 | rear_switch | |
2506 | enable shared rear/line-in switch (bool) | |
2507 | ||
2508 | This module supports autoprobe and multiple chips. | |
2509 | ||
2510 | The power-management is supported. | |
2511 | ||
2512 | Module snd-pdaudiocf | |
2513 | -------------------- | |
2514 | ||
2515 | Module for Sound Core PDAudioCF sound card. | |
2516 | ||
2517 | The power-management is supported. | |
2518 | ||
2519 | ||
2520 | AC97 Quirk Option | |
2521 | ================= | |
2522 | ||
2523 | The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for | |
2524 | specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like | |
2525 | snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master | |
2526 | and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97 | |
2527 | specifications from version to version :-) | |
2528 | ||
2529 | The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices, | |
2530 | but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass | |
2531 | the proper value with this option. | |
2532 | ||
2533 | The following strings are accepted: | |
2534 | ||
2535 | default | |
2536 | Don't override the default setting | |
2537 | none | |
2538 | Disable the quirk | |
2539 | hp_only | |
2540 | Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control | |
2541 | swap_hp | |
2542 | Swap headphone and master controls | |
2543 | swap_surround | |
2544 | Swap master and surround controls | |
2545 | ad_sharing | |
2546 | For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone | |
2547 | alc_jack | |
2548 | For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode | |
2549 | inv_eapd | |
2550 | Inverted EAPD implementation | |
2551 | mute_led | |
2552 | Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED | |
2553 | ||
2554 | For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0, ... | |
2555 | are accepted, too. | |
2556 | ||
2557 | For example, if ``Master`` volume control has no effect on your device | |
2558 | but only ``Headphone`` does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option. | |
2559 | ||
2560 | ||
2561 | Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards | |
2562 | ============================ | |
2563 | ||
2564 | When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules | |
2565 | supporting the isapnp cards will have module options ``isapnp``. | |
2566 | If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed. | |
2567 | For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass ``isapnp=0`` option | |
2568 | together with the proper i/o and irq configuration. | |
2569 | ||
2570 | When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option | |
2571 | will be not built in. | |
2572 | ||
2573 | ||
2574 | Module Autoloading Support | |
2575 | ========================== | |
2576 | ||
2577 | The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining | |
2578 | module aliases. The string ``snd-card-%1`` is requested for ALSA native | |
2579 | devices where ``%i`` is sound card number from zero to seven. | |
2580 | ||
2581 | To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string | |
2582 | ``sound-slot-%i`` where ``%i`` means the slot number for OSS, which | |
2583 | corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this | |
2584 | as the same card module. | |
2585 | ||
2586 | An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below: | |
2587 | :: | |
2588 | ||
2589 | ----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf | |
2590 | alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 | |
2591 | alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 | |
2592 | ----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf | |
2593 | ||
2594 | The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module | |
2595 | option ``cards_limit`` of snd module. As default it's set to 1. | |
2596 | To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of | |
2597 | sound cards in that option. | |
2598 | ||
2599 | When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index | |
2600 | number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of | |
2601 | cards is kept consistent. | |
2602 | ||
2603 | An example configuration for two sound cards is like below: | |
2604 | :: | |
2605 | ||
2606 | ----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf | |
2607 | # ALSA portion | |
2608 | options snd cards_limit=2 | |
2609 | alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave | |
2610 | alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 | |
2611 | options snd-interwave index=0 | |
2612 | options snd-ens1371 index=1 | |
2613 | # OSS/Free portion | |
2614 | alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave | |
2615 | alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371 | |
2616 | ----- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf | |
2617 | ||
2618 | In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card | |
2619 | (index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1). | |
2620 | ||
2621 | Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use | |
2622 | ``slots`` option of snd module. In the case above, specify like the | |
2623 | following: | |
2624 | :: | |
2625 | ||
2626 | options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371 | |
2627 | ||
2628 | Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and | |
2629 | the second (#1) for snd-ens1371. You can omit index option in each | |
2630 | driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at | |
2631 | the same time as long as they don't conflict). | |
2632 | ||
2633 | The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible | |
2634 | hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict. For example, in the | |
2635 | case above again, the first two slots are already reserved. If any | |
2636 | other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or | |
2637 | snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot. | |
2638 | ||
2639 | When a module name is given with '!', the slot will be given for any | |
2640 | modules but that name. For example, ``slots=!snd-pcsp`` will reserve | |
2641 | the first slot for any modules but snd-pcsp. | |
2642 | ||
2643 | ||
2644 | ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping | |
2645 | ======================================= | |
2646 | :: | |
2647 | ||
2648 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4 | |
2649 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3 | |
2650 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12 | |
2651 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20 | |
2652 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19 | |
2653 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28 | |
2654 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36 | |
2655 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39 | |
2656 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44 | |
2657 | ||
2658 | The first number from ``/dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p]`` expression means | |
2659 | sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices | |
2660 | have either ``c`` or ``p`` suffix indicating the direction, capture and | |
2661 | playback, respectively. | |
2662 | ||
2663 | Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module | |
2664 | options of snd-pcm-oss module. | |
2665 | ||
2666 | ||
2667 | Proc interfaces (/proc/asound) | |
2668 | ============================== | |
2669 | ||

2710 | echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss | |
2711 | ||
2712 | ||
2713 | Early Buffer Allocation | |
2714 | ======================= | |
2715 | ||
2716 | Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and | |
2717 | sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is | |
2718 | actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the | |
2719 | PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its | |
2720 | proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like | |
2721 | ``/etc/init.d/*.local`` scripts. | |
2722 | ||
2723 | Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current | |
2724 | usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following | |
2725 | commands to the snd-page-alloc driver: | |
2726 | ||
2727 | * add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS | |
2728 | ||
2729 | VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take | |
2730 | integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex). | |
2731 | MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted. | |
2732 | SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass | |
2733 | k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB. | |
2734 | BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater | |
2735 | than 0. The max number is 4. | |
2736 | ||
2737 | * erase | |
2738 | ||
2739 | This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in | |
2740 | use. | |
