| 2 | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver |
| 3 | ========================================== |
| 4 | Configuration guide |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Kernel Configuration |
| 8 | ==================== |
| 9 | |
| 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. |
| 13 | |
| 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. |
| 16 | |
| 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). |
| 20 | |
| 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. |
| 24 | |
| 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 |
| 27 | using isapnptools. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Creating ALSA devices |
| 31 | ===================== |
| 32 | |
| 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'. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Module parameters |
| 39 | ================= |
| 40 | |
| 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. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Prior to version 0.9.0rc4 options had a 'snd_' prefix. This was removed. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Module snd |
| 48 | ---------- |
| 49 | |
| 50 | The core ALSA module. It is used by all ALSA card drivers. |
| 51 | It takes the following options which have global effects. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | major - major number for sound driver |
| 54 | - Default: 116 |
| 55 | cards_limit |
| 56 | - limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8) |
| 57 | - Default: 1 |
| 58 | - For auto-loading more than one card, specify this |
| 59 | option together with snd-card-X aliases. |

| 61 | |
| 62 | Module snd-pcm-oss |
| 63 | ------------------ |
| 64 | |
| 65 | The PCM OSS emulation module. |
| 66 | This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | dsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. |
| 69 | - Default: 0 |
| 70 | adsp_map - PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. |
| 71 | - Default: 1 |
| 72 | nonblock_open |
Takashi Iwai | 6243008 | 2005-09-05 17:12:29 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | - Don't block opening busy PCM devices. Default: 1 |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 74 | |
| 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". |
| 80 | |
| 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). |
| 85 | |
| 86 | Module snd-rawmidi |
| 87 | ------------------ |
| 88 | |
| 89 | This module takes options which change the mapping of devices. |
| 90 | similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | midi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device. |
| 93 | - Default: 0 |
| 94 | amidi_map - MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device. |
| 95 | - Default: 1 |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Common parameters for top sound card modules |
| 98 | -------------------------------------------- |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Each of top level sound card module takes the following options. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | index - index (slot #) of sound card |
Clemens Ladisch | 0ef797c | 2005-11-21 07:30:20 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 103 | - Values: 0 through 31 or negative |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 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 |
| 107 | - Default: -1 |
| 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 |
| 114 | identifying the card |
| 115 | enable - enable card |
| 116 | - Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards |
| 117 | |
Rene Herman | cf40a31 | 2006-03-28 12:38:20 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 118 | Module snd-adlib |
| 119 | ---------------- |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Module for AdLib FM cards. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | port - port # for OPL chip |
| 124 | |
| 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 |
| 128 | synthesis. |
| 129 | |
| 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: |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Port Client name Port name |
| 135 | 64:0 OPL2 FM synth OPL2 FM Port |
| 136 | |
| 137 | Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload: |
| 138 | |
| 139 | sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb |
| 140 | |
| 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: |
| 143 | |
| 144 | aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid |

Takashi Iwai | 2734616 | 2006-01-12 18:28:44 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 885 | NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at |
| 886 | loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq |
| 887 | routing). Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi". Also, you |
| 888 | can try "single_cmd=1" module option. This will switch the |
| 889 | communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the |
| 890 | single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB. Basically, the |
| 891 | single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get |
| 892 | unsolicited events, too. But, at least, this works independently |
| 893 | from the irq. Remember this is a last resort, and should be |
| 894 | avoided as much as possible... |

Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1259 | |
Takashi Iwai | 8a3fb4d | 2005-10-20 17:10:49 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1260 | This module supports one chip and autoprobe. |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1261 | |
| 1262 | The power-management is supported. |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 | Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected |
| 1265 | automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization. |
Matt LaPlante | fff9289 | 2006-10-03 22:47:42 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1266 | In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via |
| 1267 | the buffer_top option. |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1268 | For example, |
| 1269 | Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800 |
| 1270 | Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800 |
| 1271 | The driver supports only ac97 codec. It's possible to force |
| 1272 | to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected. In such a |
| 1273 | case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it |
| 1274 | works! |
| 1275 | |
| 1276 | Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97 |
| 1277 | codecs. This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work |
| 1278 | with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips, |
| 1279 | even though the device is detected in lspci. In such a case, try |
| 1280 | other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2. Some has ISA-PnP |
Takashi Iwai | 6243008 | 2005-09-05 17:12:29 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1281 | but some doesn't have ISA PnP. You'll need to specify isapnp=0 |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1282 | and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP. |
| 1283 | |
| 1284 | Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET. For the |
| 1285 | known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this |
| 1286 | workaround is enabled automatically. For other laptops with a |
| 1287 | hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option. |
| 1288 | |
Takashi Iwai | d1f38cf | 2005-10-19 16:04:27 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1289 | Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding |
| 1290 | AC97 RESET. On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is |
| 1291 | turned on as default. This option is worth to try if the |
| 1292 | previous reset_workaround option doesn't help. |
| 1293 | |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1294 | Note: This driver is really crappy. It's a porting from the |
| 1295 | OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering. |
| 1296 | The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after* |
| 1297 | X-server as described above. You might be able to force to load |
| 1298 | the module, but it may result in hang-up. Hence, make sure that |
| 1299 | you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of |
| 1300 | problem. |

| 1730 | When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware |
| 1731 | is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically. |
| 1732 | Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package. |
| 1733 | When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the |
| 1734 | firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package. To invoke |
| 1735 | vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf |
| 1736 | |
| 1737 | install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader |
| 1738 | |

| 1740 | /etc/modules.conf, instead.) |
| 1741 | IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM. The smaller size |
| 1742 | gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too. |
| 1743 | The size is usually aligned to 126. As default (=0), the smallest |
| 1744 | size is chosen. The possible IBL values can be found in |

| 1803 | ================= |
| 1804 | |
| 1805 | The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for |
| 1806 | specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like |
| 1807 | snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master |
| 1808 | and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97 |
| 1809 | specifications from version to version :-) |
| 1810 | |
| 1811 | The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices, |
| 1812 | but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass |
| 1813 | the proper value with this option. |
| 1814 | |
| 1815 | The following strings are accepted: |
| 1816 | - default Don't override the default setting |
Takashi Iwai | 10e4097f | 2005-11-17 11:04:55 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 1817 | - none Disable the quirk |
Takashi Iwai | 6243008 | 2005-09-05 17:12:29 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1818 | - hp_only Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control |
| 1819 | - swap_hp Swap headphone and master controls |
| 1820 | - swap_surround Swap master and surround controls |
| 1821 | - ad_sharing For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone |
| 1822 | - alc_jack For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode |
| 1823 | - inv_eapd Inverted EAPD implementation |
| 1824 | - mute_led Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED |
| 1825 | |
| 1826 | For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0, |
| 1827 | ... are accepted, too. |
| 1828 | |
| 1829 | For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device |
| 1830 | but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option. |

Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1833 | Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards |
| 1834 | ============================ |
| 1835 | |
| 1836 | When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules |
| 1837 | supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp". |
| 1838 | If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed. |
| 1839 | For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option |
| 1840 | together with the proper i/o and irq configuration. |
| 1841 | |
| 1842 | When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option |
| 1843 | will be not built in. |
| 1844 | |
| 1845 | |
| 1846 | Module Autoloading Support |
| 1847 | ========================== |
| 1848 | |
| 1849 | The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining |
| 1850 | module aliases. The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native |
| 1851 | devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven. |
| 1852 | |
| 1853 | To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string |
| 1854 | 'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which |
| 1855 | corresponds to the card index of ALSA. Usually, define this |
Tobias Klauser | d533f67 | 2005-09-10 00:26:46 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1856 | as the same card module. |
Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1857 | |
| 1858 | An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below: |
| 1859 | ----- /etc/modprobe.conf |
| 1860 | alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 |
| 1861 | alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 |
| 1862 | ----- /etc/modprobe.conf |
| 1863 | |
| 1864 | The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module |
| 1865 | option "cards_limit" of snd module. As default it's set to 1. |
| 1866 | To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of |
| 1867 | sound cards in that option. |
| 1868 | |
| 1869 | When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index |
| 1870 | number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of |
| 1871 | cards is kept consistent. |
| 1872 | |
| 1873 | An example configuration for two sound cards is like below: |
| 1874 | |
| 1875 | ----- /etc/modprobe.conf |
| 1876 | # ALSA portion |
| 1877 | options snd cards_limit=2 |
| 1878 | alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave |
| 1879 | alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 |
| 1880 | options snd-interwave index=0 |
| 1881 | options snd-ens1371 index=1 |
| 1882 | # OSS/Free portion |
| 1883 | alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave |
| 1884 | alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371 |

Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1886 | |
| 1887 | In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card |
| 1888 | (index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1). |
| 1889 | |
| 1890 | |
| 1891 | ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping |
| 1892 | ======================================= |
| 1893 | |
| 1894 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4 |
| 1895 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3 |
| 1896 | /dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12 |
| 1897 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20 |
| 1898 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19 |
| 1899 | /dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28 |
| 1900 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36 |
| 1901 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39 |
| 1902 | /dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44 |
| 1903 | |
| 1904 | The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means |
| 1905 | sound card number and second means device number. The ALSA devices |
| 1906 | have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and |
| 1907 | playback, respectively. |
| 1908 | |
| 1909 | Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module |
| 1910 | options of snd-pcm-oss module. |

Takashi Iwai | b6a9691 | 2005-05-30 18:27:03 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1943 | Early Buffer Allocation |
| 1944 | ======================= |
| 1945 | |
| 1946 | Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and |
| 1947 | sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is |
| 1948 | actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the |
| 1949 | PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its |
| 1950 | proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like |
| 1951 | /etc/init.d/*.local scripts. |
| 1952 | |
| 1953 | Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current |
| 1954 | usage of page allocation. In writing, you can send the following |
| 1955 | commands to the snd-page-alloc driver: |
| 1956 | |
| 1957 | - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS |
| 1958 | |
| 1959 | VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take |
| 1960 | integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex). |
| 1961 | MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted. |
| 1962 | SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass |
| 1963 | k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB. |
| 1964 | BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater |
| 1965 | than 0. The max number is 4. |
| 1966 | |
| 1967 | - erase |
| 1968 | |
| 1969 | This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in |
| 1970 | use. |
