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 prot 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 there is
|
|
a large variety of values in those positions.
|
|
|
|
Finally, where available, I have put the URL where you can find the
|
|
data sheets of the chip.

work like a charm. All modes, including full duplex, supported in
|
|
MSS mode.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: 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.

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.

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.

this card emulates a WSS or SB. Have reports that it works, although

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

the Yamaha from other cards.

This code _cannot_ work on these cards as it is now, since I

no data sheets available for these PCI cards, none of them is
