|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the ESS 1788, 1888, 1887, and 888 AudioDrive
|
|
audio devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The AudioDrive 1788 is a half-duplex device, while the 1888, 1887, and
|
|
888 are full-duplex. All are capable of 8- and 16-bit audio sample
|
|
recording and playback at rates up to 44.1kHz.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The AudioDrive takes 16 I/O ports. The I/O port range, IRQ, and DRQ
|
|
channels are set by the driver to the values specified in the
|
|
configuration file (or for isapnp, pnpbios, or ofisa, the values
|
|
assigned from the firmware).
|
|
The I/O port base must be one of 0x220, 0x230, 0x240,
|
|
0x250. The IRQ must be one of 5, 7, 9, 10 (or 15 on the 1887
|
|
only). The first DRQ channel must be selected from 0, 1, 3. The second
|
|
DRQ channel (used for playback by the full-duplex 1888/1887, ignored
|
|
by the 1788) can additionally be set to 5. If both DRQ channels are
|
|
used they must be different.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The joystick interface (if enabled) is handled by the
|
|
.Xr joy 4
|
|
driver.

|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The AudioDrive devices have a SoundBlaster compatibility mode, and may
|
|
be detected by the SoundBlaster driver (see
|
|
.Xr sb 4 )
|
|
rather than the AudioDrive driver. The workaround is to remove the
|
|
SoundBlaster driver from the kernel configuration.
