Gravis UltraSound/UltraSound MAX device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "gus0 at isa? port 0xPPP irq X drq Y flags Z"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm gus
|
|
driver provides support for the Gravis UltraSound (GUS) and GUS MAX
|
|
audio cards. Both cards have on-board memory which is used for
|
|
seamless playback of samples. They can play back 8- or 16-bit samples
|
|
at up to 44.1kHz. They can record 8-bit samples at up to 44.1kHz.
|
|
The UltraSound MAX is a full-duplex sound device, and if
|
|
configured with two DRQ channels can be used for simultaneous playback
|
|
and recording. The I/O port base is jumper-selected, and may be chosen
|
|
from 0x210-0x260 in steps of 0x10. (The normal setting is 0x220.) The
|
|
GUS takes 16 ports at its base address and 8 ports at its base address +
|
|
0x100.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The IRQ is software programmed, so you may select any IRQ from the set
|
|
{3,5,7,9,11,12,15}. The DRQ lines are software programmed, and may be
|
|
chosen from {1,3,5,6,7}. The flags field in the configuration file line
|
|
specifies a second DRQ line for recording. If there is no flags field
|
|
in the config file, the playback channel will be used for recording DMA
|
|
and only half-duplex mode will be available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Gravis UltraSound MAX has an additional CODEC onboard which is
|
|
addressed with four ports at an offset of 0x10C from the base ports
|
|
(0x31C-0x36C).
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The full-duplex features of the GUS MAX have not been fully tested, and
|
|
full-duplex on the original GUS may not be possible at all.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only two voices on the GF1 synthesizer chip are used by this driver (for
|
|
left and right channels).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Manipulating the mixer while audio samples are playing can lead to
|
|
device driver confusion (and maybe even a system panic).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Manipulating the mixer device seems to create pregnant system pauses,
|
|
probably due to excessive interrupt masking.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The joystick and MIDI port interfaces are not supported.
