.Sh NAME

.Nm sb

|
.Nd
|
|
SoundBlaster family (and compatibles) audio device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "sb0 at isa? port 0xPPP irq X drq Y"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm sb
|
|
driver provides support for the SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster Pro,
|
|
SoundBlaster 16, and hardware register-level compatible audio cards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The SoundBlaster series are half-duplex cards, capable of 8- and 16-bit
|
|
audio sample recording and playback at rates up to 44.1kHz (depending on
|
|
the particular model).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The base I/O port address is usually jumper-selected to either 0x220 or
|
|
0x240 (newer cards may provide software configuration, but this driver
|
|
does not directly support them--you must configure the card for its I/O
|
|
addresses with other software). The SoundBlaster takes 16 I/O ports.
|
|
For the SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Pro, the IRQ and DRQ channels are
|
|
jumper-selected. For the SoundBlaster 16, the IRQ and DRQ channels are
|
|
set by this driver to the values specified in the config file. The IRQ
|
|
must be selected from the set {5,7,9,10}.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver has not been extensively tested on original SoundBlaster,
|
|
SoundBlaster 16, or newer cards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The FM synthesizer, joystick and MIDI port interfaces are not supported.
