.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This driver covers the SoundBlaster family of cards including the
|
|
|
|
|
SoundBlaster 1.0 to the SoundBlaster 16/SoundBlaster 32. The awe driver
|
1998-06-08 06:12:02 +00:00
|
|
|
provides AWE32/64 functionality. This driver is provided in FreeBSD
|
1997-08-10 08:09:01 +00:00
|
|
|
versions 2.0-current through 3.0-current. You can also configure more
|
|
|
|
|
then one card on a single DMA using the conflicts keyword in your
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file. This is useful for boards with more then one type of
|
|
|
|
|
emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
Since the SB16 uses the same IRQ and addresses for
|
|
|
|
|
the different drivers, some of the snd drivers will not be probed because
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel thinks there is a conflict. This can be worked-around by
|
|
|
|
|
using the "conflicts" keyword on the sb16's device line.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Current version doesn't support mode changes without closing and reopening
|
|
|
|
|
the device. Support for this feature may be implemented in a future
|
|
|
|
|
version of this driver.
