Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver
==========================================
Configuration guide
Kernel Configuration
====================
To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with
primary sound card support (CONFIG_SOUND). Since ALSA can emulate OSS,
you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules.
Enable "OSS API emulation" (CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL) and both OSS mixer and
PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA.
If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as
SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support"
(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER).
To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk"
and "Debug" options. To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory"
too. "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards.
Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API
(if the card supports ISA PnP). You don't need to configure the cards
using isapnptools.
Creating ALSA devices
=====================
This depends on your distribution, but normally you use the /dev/MAKEDEV
script to create the necessary device nodes. On some systems you use a
script named 'snddevices'.
Module parameters
=================
The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than
one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can
specify multiple values for the option separated by commas.
Prior to version 0.9.0rc4 options had a 'snd_' prefix. This was removed.
Module snd
----------
The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers.
It takes the following options which have global effects.
major - major number for sound driver
- Default: 116
cards_limit
- limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8)
- Default: 1
- For auto-loading more than one card, specify this
option together with snd-card-X aliases.
device_mode
- permission mask for dynamic sound device filesystem
- This is available only when DEVFS is enabled
- Default: 0666
- E.g.: device_mode=0660
Module snd-pcm-oss
------------------
The PCM OSS emulation module.
This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
dsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
- Default: 0
adsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
- Default: 1
nonblock_open
- Don't block opening busy PCM devices.
For example, when dsp_map=2, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of
the card #0. Similarly, when adsp_map=0, /dev/adsp will be mapped
to PCM #0 of the card #0.
For changing the second or later card, specify the option with
commas, such like "dsp_map=0,1".
nonblock_open option is used to change the behavior of the PCM
regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero,
opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return
immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag).
Module snd-rawmidi
------------------
This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module.
midi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
- Default: 0
amidi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
- Default: 1
Common parameters for top sound card modules
--------------------------------------------
Each of top level sound card module takes the following options.
index - index (slot #) of sound card
- Values: 0 through 7 or negative
- If nonnegative, assign that index number
- if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible
indices; the first free permitted index is assigned
- Default: -1
id - card ID (identifier or name)
- Can be up to 15 characters long
- Default: the card type
- A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/
containing information about the card
- This ID can be used instead of the index number in
identifying the card
enable - enable card
- Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards

If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal)
configuration is set up. You can pass "model=<name>" option to
specify a certain model in such a case. There are different
models depending on the codec chip.
Model name Description
---------- -----------
ALC880
3stack 3-jack in back and a headphone out
3stack-digout 3-jack in back, a HP out and a SPDIF out
5stack 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front
5stack-digout 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front, a SPDIF out
w810 3-jack
z71v 3-jack (HP shared SPDIF)
CMI9880
minimal 3-jack in back
min_fp 3-jack in back, 2-jack in front
full 6-jack in back, 2-jack in front
full_dig 6-jack in back, 2-jack in front, SPDIF I/O
allout 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front, SPDIF out
Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB
register value without FIFO size correction as the current
DMA pointer. position_fix=2 will make the driver to use
the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register.
(Usually SD_LPLIB register is more accurate than the
position buffer.)
Module snd-hdsp
---------------
Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s)
Module supports up to 8 cards.
Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug
when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set. Otherwise, you need to load
the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools
package.
The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package.
Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem
module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance
when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer
allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early
stage of boot sequence.

-----------------
Module for Digigram miXart8 sound cards.
Module supports multiple cards.
Note: One miXart8 board will be represented as 4 alsa cards.
See MIXART.txt for details.
When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
firmware via mixartloader utility in alsa-tools package.

playback_bufsize - max playback frame size in kB (4-128kB)
capture_bufsize - max capture frame size in kB (4-128kB)
force_ac97 - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
buffer_top - specify buffer top address
use_cache - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
vaio_hack - alias buffer_top=0x25a800
reset_workaround - enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops
Module supports autoprobe and multiple chips (max 8).
The power-management is supported.
Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected
automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization.
In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicity via
buffer_top option.
For example,
Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800
Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800
The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force
to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a
case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it
works!
Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97
codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work
with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips,
even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try
other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP
but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to speicfy isapnp=0
and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP.
Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the
known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this
workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a
hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option.
Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the
OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering.
The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after*
X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load
the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that
you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of
problem.

rate and different sample rates on different
channels
[VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only]
ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware
See the description of intel8x0 module for details.
Module supports autoprobe and multiple bus-master chips (max 8).
Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might
not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to
set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of
default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be
assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS.
Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound)
channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4
streams can be played at the same time, and the controller
can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for
each channel.
As default (dxs_support = 0), 48k fixed rate is chosen
except for the known devices since the output is often
noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the
bug of BIOS.
Please try once dxs_support=5 and if it works on other
sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us
know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of
"lspci -nv").
If dxs_support=5 does not work, try dxs_support=1; if it
doesn't work too, try dxs_support=4. If it still doesn't
work and the default setting is ok, dxs_support=3 is the
right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all,
try dxs_support=2 to disable the DXS channels.
In any cases, please let us know the result and the
subsystem vendor/device ids.
Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver
additonally. The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only.

Module supports up to 8 cards.
When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke
vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf
install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader
(for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install /usr/bin/vxloader" to
/etc/modules.conf, instead.)
IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size
gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too.
The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest
size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in
/proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file.

Note: the driver is build only when CONFIG_ISA is set.
Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards
============================
When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules
supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp".
If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed.
For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option
together with the proper i/o and irq configuration.
When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option
will be not built in.
Module Autoloading Support
==========================
The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining
module aliases. The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native
devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven.
To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which
corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this
as the the same card module.
An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below:
----- /etc/modprobe.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
----- /etc/modprobe.conf
The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module
option "cards_limit" of snd module. As default it's set to 1.
To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of
sound cards in that option.
When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index
number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of
cards is kept consistent.
An example configuration for two sound cards is like below:
----- /etc/modprobe.conf
# ALSA portion
options snd cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
options snd-interwave index=0
options snd-ens1371 index=1
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave
alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371
----- /etc/moprobe.conf
In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping
=======================================
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3
/dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19
/dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28
/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36
/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39
/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44
The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means
sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices
have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and
playback, respectively.
Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module
options of snd-pcm-oss module.
DEVFS support
=============
The ALSA driver fully supports the devfs extension.
You should add lines below to your devfsd.conf file:
LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd
REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
Warning: These lines assume that you have the audio group in your system.
Otherwise replace audio word with another group name (root for
example).
Proc interfaces (/proc/asound)
==============================
/proc/asound/card#/pcm#[cp]/oss
-------------------------------
String "erase" - erase all additional informations about OSS applications
String "<app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]"
<app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path
<fragments> - number of fragments or zero if auto
<fragment_size> - size of fragment in bytes or zero if auto
<options> - optional parameters
- disable the application tries to open a pcm device for
this channel but does not want to use it.
(Cause a bug or mmap needs)
It's good for Quake etc...
- direct don't use plugins
- block force block mode (rvplayer)
- non-block force non-block mode
- whole-frag write only whole fragments (optimization affecting
playback only)
- no-silence do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks
Example: echo "x11amp 128 16384" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "squake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
