In this file I will try to build a database of cards supported by
|
|
this driver. I also include the command to use for manual configuration
|
|
of the card in case your BIOS is not PnP-aware. Of course it is
|
|
your responsibility to pick up free port ranges and irq and drq
|
|
channels.
|
|
|
|
For PnP cards, I also include the vendor_id and serial numbers of
|
|
cards I have encountered. Underscores in the PnP id mean that
|
|
(I believe) there is a large variety of values in those positions,
|
|
and the code in the audio driver generally masks those bits.
|
|
|
|
Finally, where available, I have put the URL where you can find the
|
|
data sheets of the chip.
|
|
|
|
To my knowledge, there are the following families of audio cards:
|
|
|
|
* WSS (also called MSS) and clones:
|
|
these are true full duplex cards, have a very nice architecture and
|
|
are well documented. Chipsets implementing these functionalities
|
|
are made from Crystal, Analog Devices, Yamaha, OPTI.
|
|
|
|
* SB16 and clones:
|
|
these cards have a higly asymmetric architecture, and are not very
|
|
well suited to full duplex operation. Made by Creative, Realtek.
|
|
There is no documentation on the newer codecs (Vibra16X and ALS100+),
|
|
so they are not fully working.
|
|
|
|
* ESS
|
|
ESS builds cards that implement a superset of SB16. They are
|
|
often capable of full duplex, but my driver does not support them
|
|
other than in full duplex emulation. My fault, since documentation
|
|
on these cards _is_ available.
|
|
|
|
* PCI cards.
|
|
There are a quite few PCI audio cards around based on a number of
|
|
different chipsets. Some of them are documented (e.g. S3 Sonic
|
|
Vibes, Ensoniq ES1370), some are not (e.g. Yamaha YMF724),
|
|
work is in progress to support such cards. See the notes below.
|
|
Note that CreativeLabs has recently (fall'97) acquired Ensoniq
|
|
and the audio division of OPTI, both of which had a PCI audio
|
|
chipset. I don't know if there are other manufacturers of PCI
|
|
audio cards.

Work like a charm. All modes, including full duplex, supported in

MSS mode.
|
|
|
|
Cards based on the 4237, and possibly the 4236 as well, connect
|
|
the CD to AUX2. When used in MODE1/2 (as this driver does)
|
|
there is no route in the input mixer from AUX2 to the ADC. So,
|
|
to record directly from the CD, the only way is to set the
|
|
input to SOUND_MASK_IMIX.
|
|
|
|
Some machines with the cs4235 in non-pnp mode map the codec at 0x530
|
|
instead of 0x534. For those machines you need an unusual config line

This chip is reported as broken in the OSS documentation. As a
|
|
matter of fact, on my Intel Zappa motherboard, I have problems in
|
|
make it use the secondary DMA channel. I have it working in
|
|
half duplex (both capture and playback) in SB3.2 emulation,
|
|
and working in playback mode in MSS emulation.
|
|
Also have reports from some user that it works ok.

using the PnP interface. For full function configure port2,

irq0, drq0 and drq1 of ldn0.

COMMENTS:
|
|
The data sheets of this chip are very cryptic and do not match
|
|
what the cards I have seem to do. I have it working
|
|
in WSS emulation, in full duplex and all modes.
|
|
In SB emulation mode the driver does not work yet (maybe I do
|
|
not initialize it the right way). It is not a major concern
|
|
anyways.
|
|
I am strongly convinced of a couple of bugs in the chip. I have
|
|
sent email to OPTI but got no reply so far. The bugs are:
|
|
- you cannot set both playback and capture format to use
|
|
a companded mode (ULAW, ALAW). If you do, the card will screw
|
|
up on the capture section.
|
|
The driver has a partial fix in software: when using ULAW, it
|
|
programs ULAW on the playback section, U8 on the capture, and
|
|
does a conversion in software (much like the SBPro). Of course
|
|
you lose 4-5 bits of dynamic range in the process.
|
|
- in full duplex (and single DMA mode), the card occasionally
|
|
misses interrupts, or generates spurious ones, or generates
|
|
interrupts before setting the status bits in the registers.
|
|
Spurious ints are not problematic since they can be easily
|
|
ignored, but missing interrupts are a nightmare to handle...
|
|
The only way to have this card work semi-reliably is to use
|
|
auto-dma mode (which is the default mode of operation in the
|
|
driver).
|
|
In any case, these cards are very cheap and widely available and
|
|
are a reasonable solution if you cannot find some other decent WSS
|
|
device.

COMMENTS:
|
|
SB16 really refers to a large number of different cards, starting
|
|
from the original, non-PnP SB16, to more modern cards (SB16PnP,
|
|
Vibra16C) and other including Wavetable Synthesis (AWE32, AWE64,
|
|
etc.). All these cards have different PnP ID. They have
|
|
different synthesis devices, which we do not support, so we
|
|
are not affected by these differences. Don't worry if the driver
|
|
identifies the card as a different SB16 than the one you have.
|
|
|
|
BEWARE -- all recent (1998 ?) SB16 use a new codec, Vibra16X,
|
|
which is sufficiently different from the old one to not work with
|
|
this driver in capture mode or in full duplex. Documentation is
|
|
not available from Creative. I suggest to stay away from these
|
|
cards (and from SB16 in general).
|
|
|
|
Full duplex support of this card is tricky since one channel can
|
|
work in 16-bit and the other in 8-bit mode. You will need to use
|
|
the new set of ioctl to use separate data formats on the two
|
|
channels (the vat driver does this). Of course, quality in 8-bit
|
|
is much lower than in 16-bit.
|
|
|
|
Full duplex operation is unsupported by Creative. It seems to
|
|
work, although on my Vibra16C the command to stop DMA transfer
|
|
seems to erroneously affect both channels instead of the one
|
|
they are issued for. The driver has a workaround, but I cannot
|
|
guarantee that it works for everybody. I have had several
|
|
positive reports.

it has incomplete mixer support (Yamaha defines an additional set

of registers to control some mixer functions, such as the master

output volume -- this is at 0x370 or 0x310). Currently we set

the master volume to 100% for the PnP card. Will put in code to do the

same for the non PnP card as soon as I find out how to tell
