The official name in the documentation is CMI8330, SoundPro -is the nickname and the big inscription on the chip itself. - -The chip emulates a WSS as well as a SB16, but it has certain differences -in the mixer section which require separate support. It also emulates an -MPU401 and an OPL3 synthesizer, so you probably want to enable support -for these, too. - -The chip identifies itself as an AD1848, but its mixer is significantly -more advanced than the original AD1848 one. If your system works with -either WSS or SB16 and you are having problems with some mixer controls -(no CD audio, no line-in, etc), you might want to give this driver a try. -Detection should work, but it hasn't been widely tested, so it might still -mis-identify the chip. You can still force soundpro=1 in the modprobe -parameters for ad1848. Please let me know if it happens to you, so I can -adjust the detection routine. - -The chip is capable of doing full-duplex, but since the driver sees it as an -AD1848, it cannot take advantage of this. Moreover, the full-duplex mode is -not achievable through the WSS interface, b/c it needs a dma16 line which is -assigned only to the SB16 subdevice (with isapnp). Windows documentation -says the user must use WSS Playback and SB16 Recording for full-duplex, so -it might be possible to do the same thing under Linux. You can try loading -up both ad1848 and sb then use one for playback and the other for -recording. I don't know if this works, b/c I haven't tested it. Anyway, if -you try it, be very careful: the SB16 mixer *mostly* works, but certain -settings can have unexpected effects. Use the WSS mixer for best results. - -There is also a PCI SoundPro chip. I have not seen this chip, so I have -no idea if the driver will work with it. I suspect it won't. - -As with PnP cards, some configuration is required. There are two ways -of doing this. The most common is to use the isapnptools package to -initialize the card, and use the kernel module form of the sound -subsystem and sound drivers. Alternatively, some BIOS's allow manual -configuration of installed PnP devices in a BIOS menu, which should -allow using the non-modular sound drivers, i.e. built into the kernel. -Since in this latter case you cannot use module parameters, you will -have to enable support for the SoundPro at compile time. - -The IRQ and DMA values can be any that are considered acceptable for a -WSS. Assuming you've got isapnp all happy, then you should be able to -do something like the following (which *must* match the isapnp/BIOS -configuration): - -modprobe ad1848 io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 soundpro=1 --and maybe- -modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 - --then- -modprobe mpu401 io=0x330 irq=9 -modprobe opl3 io=0x388 - -If all goes well and you see no error messages, you should be able to -start using the sound capabilities of your system. If you get an -error message while trying to insert the module(s), then make -sure that the values of the various arguments match what you specified -in your isapnp configuration file, and that there is no conflict with -another device for an I/O port or interrupt. Checking the contents of -/proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts can be useful to see if you're -butting heads with another device. - -If you do not see the chipset version message, and none of the other -messages present in the system log are helpful, try adding 'debug=1' -to the ad1848 parameters, email me the syslog results and I'll do -my best to help. - -Lastly, if you're using modules and want to set up automatic module -loading with kmod, the kernel module loader, here is the section I -currently use in my conf.modules file: - -# Sound -post-install sound modprobe -k ad1848; modprobe -k mpu401; modprobe -k opl3 -options ad1848 io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 -options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 -options mpu401 io=0x330 irq=9 -options opl3 io=0x388 - -The above ensures that ad1848 will be loaded whenever the sound system -is being used. - -Good luck. - -Ion - -NOT REALLY TESTED: -- recording -- recording device selection -- full-duplex - -TODO: -- implement mixer support for surround, loud, digital CD switches. -- come up with a scheme which allows recording volumes for each subdevice. -This is a major OSS API change. |
