If you are -unfamiliar with configuring sound under Linux, please read the -Sound-HOWTO, Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction and other -relevant docs first. - -The following information is relevant information from README.OSS -and legacy docs for the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (PAS16): -================================================================== - -The pas2_card.c driver supports the following cards -- -Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (PAS16) and compatibles: - Pro Audio Spectrum 16 - Pro Audio Studio 16 - Logitech Sound Man 16 - NOTE! The original Pro Audio Spectrum as well as the PAS+ are not - and will not be supported by the driver. - -The sound driver configuration dialog -------------------------------------- - -Sound configuration starts by making some yes/no questions. Be careful -when answering to these questions since answering y to a question may -prevent some later ones from being asked. For example don't answer y to -the question about (PAS16) if you don't really have a PAS16. Sound -configuration may also be made modular by answering m to configuration -options presented. - -Note also that all questions may not be asked. The configuration program -may disable some questions depending on the earlier choices. It may also -select some options automatically as well. - - "ProAudioSpectrum 16 support", - - Answer 'y'_ONLY_ if you have a Pro Audio Spectrum _16_, - Pro Audio Studio 16 or Logitech SoundMan 16 (be sure that - you read the above list correctly). Don't answer 'y' if you - have some other card made by Media Vision or Logitech since they - are not PAS16 compatible. - NOTE! Since 3.5-beta10 you need to enable SB support (next question) - if you want to use the SB emulation of PAS16. It's also possible to - the emulation if you want to use a true SB card together with PAS16 - (there is another question about this that is asked later). - - "Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support", - - Answer 'y' if your card has a FM chip made by Yamaha (OPL2/OPL3/OPL4). - The PAS16 has an OPL3-compatible FM chip. - -With PAS16 you can use two audio device files at the same time. /dev/dsp (and -/dev/audio) is connected to the 8/16 bit native codec and the /dev/dsp1 (and -/dev/audio1) is connected to the SB emulation (8 bit mono only). - - -The new stuff for 2.3.99 and later -============================================================================ -The following configuration options are relevant to configuring the PAS16: - -Sound card support -CONFIG_SOUND - If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more - than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information - about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port, - interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it. - - You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from - http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto . General information - about the modular sound system is contained in the files - Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction. The file - Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS contains some slightly outdated but - still useful information as well. - -OSS sound modules -CONFIG_SOUND_OSS - OSS is the Open Sound System suite of sound card drivers. They make - sound programming easier since they provide a common API. Say Y or M - here (the module will be called sound.o) if you haven't found a - driver for your sound card above, then pick your driver from the - list below. - -Persistent DMA buffers -CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP - Linux can often have problems allocating DMA buffers for ISA sound - cards on machines with more than 16MB of RAM. This is because ISA - DMA buffers must exist below the 16MB boundary and it is quite - possible that a large enough free block in this region cannot be - found after the machine has been running for a while. If you say Y - here the DMA buffers (64Kb) will be allocated at boot time and kept - until the shutdown. This option is only useful if you said Y to - "OSS sound modules", above. If you said M to "OSS sound modules" - then you can get the persistent DMA buffer functionality by passing - the command-line argument "dmabuf=1" to the sound.o module. - - Say y here for PAS16. - -ProAudioSpectrum 16 support -CONFIG_SOUND_PAS - Answer Y only if you have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16, ProAudio Studio - 16 or Logitech SoundMan 16 sound card. Don't answer Y if you have - some other card made by Media Vision or Logitech since they are not - PAS16 compatible. It is not necessary to enable the separate - Sound Blaster support; it is included in the PAS driver. - - If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add - "pas2=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<sbio>,<sbirq>,<sbdma>,<sbdma2> - to the kernel command line. - -FM Synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support -CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812 - Answer Y if your card has a FM chip made by Yamaha (OPL2/OPL3/OPL4). - Answering Y is usually a safe and recommended choice, however some - cards may have software (TSR) FM emulation. Enabling FM support with - these cards may cause trouble (I don't currently know of any such - cards, however). - Please read the file Documentation/sound/oss/OPL3 if your card has an - OPL3 chip. - If you compile the driver into the kernel, you have to add - "opl3=<io>" to the kernel command line. - - If you compile your drivers into the kernel, you MUST configure - OPL3 support as a module for PAS16 support to work properly. - You can then get OPL3 functionality by issuing the command: - insmod opl3 - In addition, you must either add the following line to - /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf: - options opl3 io=0x388 - or else add the following line to /etc/lilo.conf: - opl3=0x388 - - -EXAMPLES -=================================================================== -To use the PAS16 in my computer I have enabled the following sound -configuration options: - -CONFIG_SOUND=y -CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y -CONFIG_SOUND_TRACEINIT=y -CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP=y -CONFIG_SOUND_PAS=y -CONFIG_SOUND_SB=n -CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m - -I have also included the following append line in /etc/lilo.conf: -append="pas2=0x388,10,3,-1,0x220,5,1,-1 sb=0x220,5,1,-1 opl3=0x388" - -The io address of 0x388 is default configuration on the PAS16. The -irq of 10 and dma of 3 may not match your installation. The above -configuration enables PAS16, 8-bit Soundblaster and OPL3 -functionality. If Soundblaster functionality is not desired, the -following line would be appropriate: -append="pas2=0x388,10,3,-1,0,-1,-1,-1 opl3=0x388" - -If sound is built totally modular, the above options may be -specified in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf for pas2, sb and opl3 -respectively. |
