2 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver
3 ==========================================
10 To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with
11 primary sound card support (CONFIG_SOUND). Since ALSA can emulate OSS,
12 you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules.
14 Enable "OSS API emulation" (CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL) and both OSS mixer and
15 PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA.
17 If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as
18 SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support"
19 (CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER).
21 To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk"
22 and "Debug" options. To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory"
23 too. "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards.
25 Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API
26 (if the card supports ISA PnP). You don't need to configure the cards
33 This depends on your distribution, but normally you use the /dev/MAKEDEV
34 script to create the necessary device nodes. On some systems you use a
35 script named 'snddevices'.
41 The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than
42 one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can
43 specify multiple values for the option separated by commas.
45 Prior to version 0.9.0rc4 options had a 'snd_' prefix. This was removed.
50 The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers.
51 It takes the following options which have global effects.
53 major - major number for sound driver
56 - limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8)
58 - For auto-loading more than one card, specify this
59 option together with snd-card-X aliases.
65 The PCM OSS emulation module.
66 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
68 dsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
70 adsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
73 - Don't block opening busy PCM devices. Default: 1
75 For example, when dsp_map=2, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of
76 the card #0. Similarly, when adsp_map=0, /dev/adsp will be mapped
77 to PCM #0 of the card #0.
78 For changing the second or later card, specify the option with
79 commas, such like "dsp_map=0,1".
81 nonblock_open option is used to change the behavior of the PCM
82 regarding opening the device. When this option is non-zero,
83 opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return
84 immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag).
89 This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
90 similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module.
92 midi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
94 amidi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
97 Common parameters for top sound card modules
98 --------------------------------------------
100 Each of top level sound card module takes the following options.
102 index - index (slot #) of sound card
103 - Values: 0 through 31 or negative
104 - If nonnegative, assign that index number
105 - if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible
106 indices; the first free permitted index is assigned
108 id - card ID (identifier or name)
109 - Can be up to 15 characters long
110 - Default: the card type
111 - A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/
112 containing information about the card
113 - This ID can be used instead of the index number in
116 - Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards
121 Module for AdLib FM cards.
123 port - port # for OPL chip
125 This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so
126 the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388.
127 Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
130 Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and,
131 after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
132 number through "sbiload -l". Example output:
134 Port Client name Port name
135 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port
137 Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload:
139 sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
141 If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3
142 instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils:
144 aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid

1019 The model name "genric" is treated as a special case. When this
1020 model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without
1021 "codec-patch". It's sometimes good for testing and debugging.
1023 If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above
1024 matches with your device, report it together with the PCI
1025 subsystem ID (output of "lspci -nv") to ALSA BTS or alsa-devel
1026 ML (see the section "Links and Addresses").
1028 power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving
1029 mode. See powersave.txt for details.
1031 Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
1032 position_fix=1 or 2. position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB
1033 register value without FIFO size correction as the current
1034 DMA pointer. position_fix=2 will make the driver to use
1035 the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register.
1036 (Usually SD_LPLIB register is more accurate than the
1039 NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at
1040 loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
1041 routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you
1042 can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the
1043 communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
1044 single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the
1045 single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
1046 unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently
1047 from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be
1048 avoided as much as possible...
1050 MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS:
1051 On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
1052 to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead.
1053 This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
1054 (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
1055 bus. You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
1056 CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec
1057 proc files. Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
1058 For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
1059 probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.
1061 The power-management is supported.
1066 Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s)
1068 This module supports multiple cards.
1070 Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug
1071 when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set. Otherwise, you need to load
1072 the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools
1074 The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package.
1076 Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem
1077 module did formerly. It will allocate the buffers in advance
1078 when any HDSP cards are found. To make the buffer
1079 allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early
1080 stage of boot sequence. See "Early Buffer Allocation"

1369 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
1370 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
1371 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
1372 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
1373 firmware via mixartloader utility in alsa-tools package.
1378 Module for Echoaudio Mona
1380 This module supports multiple cards.
1381 The driver requires the firmware loader support on kernel.

1421 force_ac97 - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
1422 buffer_top - specify buffer top address
1423 use_cache - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
1424 vaio_hack - alias buffer_top=0x25a800
1425 reset_workaround - enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops
1426 reset_workaround2 - enable extended AC97 RESET workaround for some
1429 This module supports one chip and autoprobe.
1431 The power-management is supported.
1433 Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected
1434 automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization.
1435 In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via
1436 the buffer_top option.
1438 Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800
1439 Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800
1440 The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force
1441 to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a
1442 case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it
1445 Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97
1446 codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work
1447 with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips,
1448 even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try
1449 other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP
1450 but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify isapnp=0
1451 and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP.
1453 Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the
1454 known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this
1455 workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a
1456 hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option.
1458 Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding
1459 AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is
1460 turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the
1461 previous reset_workaround option doesn't help.
1463 Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the
1464 OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering.
1465 The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after*
1466 X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load
1467 the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that
1468 you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of

1755 The below are options for wavefront_synth features:
1756 wf_raw - Assume that we need to boot the OS (default:no)
1757 If yes, then during driver loading, the state of the board is
1758 ignored, and we reset the board and load the firmware anyway.
1759 fx_raw - Assume that the FX process needs help (default:yes)
1760 If false, we'll leave the FX processor in whatever state it is
1761 when the driver is loaded. The default is to download the
1762 microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for
1763 "default" operation, whatever that means.
1764 debug_default - Debug parameters for card initialization
1765 wait_usecs - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs
1767 This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput
1768 based on my limited experimentation.
1769 If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be
1770 my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us
1771 to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible,
1772 without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole
1774 Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status
1775 waits, only about 250 result in a sleep.
1776 sleep_interval - How long to sleep when waiting for reply
1778 sleep_tries - How many times to try sleeping during a wait
1780 ospath - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware
1781 (default:wavefront.os)
1782 The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent
1783 version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it
1784 must be installed in the proper path, typically,
1786 reset_time - How long to wait for a reset to take effect
1788 ramcheck_time - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test
1790 osrun_time - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS
1793 This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.
1795 Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier
1796 version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and
1797 must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware.
1798 Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error
1799 regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel.

1908 Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might
1909 not be generated properly. In such a case, please try to
1910 set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of
1911 default value 1.4. Then the interrupt number will be
1912 assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS.
1914 Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound)
1915 channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4
1916 streams can be played at the same time, and the controller
1917 can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for
1919 As default (dxs_support = 0), 48k fixed rate is chosen
1920 except for the known devices since the output is often
1921 noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the
1923 Please try once dxs_support=5 and if it works on other
1924 sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us
1925 know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of
1927 If dxs_support=5 does not work, try dxs_support=4; if it
1928 doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1. (dxs_support=1 is
1929 usually for old motherboards. The correct implemented
1930 board should work with 4 or 5.) If it still doesn't
1931 work and the default setting is ok, dxs_support=3 is the
1932 right choice. If the default setting doesn't work at all,
1933 try dxs_support=2 to disable the DXS channels.
1934 In any cases, please let us know the result and the
1935 subsystem vendor/device ids. See "Links and Addresses"

1982 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke
1983 vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf
1985 install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader
1987 (for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install /usr/bin/vxloader" to
1988 /etc/modules.conf, instead.)
1989 IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size
1990 gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too.
1991 The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest
1992 size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in
1993 /proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file.
1995 The power-management is supported.
2000 Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX2 and 440 PCMCIA cards.
2002 ibl - Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size)
2004 This module supports multiple cards. The module is compiled only when
2005 PCMCIA is supported on kernel.
2007 With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card
2008 manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf. See the
2009 sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c. 2.6.13 or later kernel requires no
2010 longer require a config file.
2012 When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
2013 is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
2014 Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
2015 When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
2016 firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package.
2018 About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module.
2020 Note: snd-vxp440 driver is merged to snd-vxpocket driver since
2023 The power-management is supported.
2028 Module for Yamaha PCI chips (YMF72x, YMF74x & YMF75x).
2030 mpu_port - 0x300,0x330,0x332,0x334, 0 (disable) by default,
2031 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only)
2032 fm_port - 0x388,0x398,0x3a0,0x3a8, 0 (disable) by default
2033 1 (auto-detect for YMF744/754 only)
2034 joystick_port - 0x201,0x202,0x204,0x205, 0 (disable) by default,
2036 rear_switch - enable shared rear/line-in switch (bool)
2038 This module supports autoprobe and multiple chips.
2040 The power-management is supported.
2042 Module snd-pdaudiocf
2043 --------------------
2045 Module for Sound Core PDAudioCF sound card.
2047 The power-management is supported.
2053 The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for
2054 specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like
2055 snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master
2056 and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97
2057 specifications from version to version :-)
2059 The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices,
2060 but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass
2061 the proper value with this option.
2063 The following strings are accepted:
2064 - default Don't override the default setting
2065 - none Disable the quirk
2066 - hp_only Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control
2067 - swap_hp Swap headphone and master controls
2068 - swap_surround Swap master and surround controls
2069 - ad_sharing For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone
2070 - alc_jack For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode
2071 - inv_eapd Inverted EAPD implementation
2072 - mute_led Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED
2074 For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0,
2075 ... are accepted, too.
2077 For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device
2078 but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option.
2081 Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards
2082 ============================
2084 When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules
2085 supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp".
2086 If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed.
2087 For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option
2088 together with the proper i/o and irq configuration.
2090 When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option
2091 will be not built in.
2094 Module Autoloading Support
2095 ==========================
2097 The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining
2098 module aliases. The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native
2099 devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven.
2101 To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
2102 'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which
2103 corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this
2104 as the same card module.
2106 An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below:
2107 ----- /etc/modprobe.conf
2108 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
2109 alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
2110 ----- /etc/modprobe.conf
2112 The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module
2113 option "cards_limit" of snd module. As default it's set to 1.
2114 To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of
2115 sound cards in that option.
2117 When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index
2118 number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of
2119 cards is kept consistent.
2121 An example configuration for two sound cards is like below:
2123 ----- /etc/modprobe.conf
2125 options snd cards_limit=2
2126 alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
2127 alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
2128 options snd-interwave index=0
2129 options snd-ens1371 index=1
2131 alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave
2132 alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371
2133 ----- /etc/modprobe.conf
2135 In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
2136 (index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
2139 ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping
2140 =======================================
2142 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4
2143 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3
2144 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12
2145 /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20
2146 /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19
2147 /dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28
2148 /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36
2149 /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39
2150 /dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44
2152 The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means
2153 sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices
2154 have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and
2155 playback, respectively.
2157 Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module
2158 options of snd-pcm-oss module.
2161 Proc interfaces (/proc/asound)
2162 ==============================
2164 /proc/asound/card#/pcm#[cp]/oss
2165 -------------------------------
2166 String "erase" - erase all additional informations about OSS applications
2167 String "<app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]"
2169 <app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path
2170 <fragments> - number of fragments or zero if auto
2171 <fragment_size> - size of fragment in bytes or zero if auto
2172 <options> - optional parameters
2173 - disable the application tries to open a pcm device for
2174 this channel but does not want to use it.
2175 (Cause a bug or mmap needs)
2176 It's good for Quake etc...
2177 - direct don't use plugins
2178 - block force block mode (rvplayer)
2179 - non-block force non-block mode
2180 - whole-frag write only whole fragments (optimization affecting
2182 - no-silence do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks
2183 - buggy-ptr Returns the whitespace blocks in GETOPTR ioctl
2184 instead of filled blocks
2186 Example: echo "x11amp 128 16384" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
2187 echo "squake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
2188 echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
2191 Early Buffer Allocation
2192 =======================
2194 Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and
2195 sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is
2196 actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the
2197 PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its
2198 proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like
2199 /etc/init.d/*.local scripts.
2201 Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current
2202 usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following
2203 commands to the snd-page-alloc driver:
2205 - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS
2207 VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take
2208 integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex).
2209 MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted.
2210 SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass
2211 k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB.
2212 BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater
2213 than 0. The max number is 4.
2217 This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in
