    NAME

    
    
    sound
    
     
    pcm
    
     
    snd
    
     - Fx PCM audio device infrastructure
    
    
    
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
    device sound

    Non-PnP sound cards require the following lines in device.hints5:

    hint.pcm.0.at="isa"
    hint.pcm.0.irq="5"
    hint.pcm.0.drq="1"
    hint.pcm.0.flags="0x0"
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

    Bf -emphasis Note: There exists some ambiguity in the naming at the moment (sound , pcm , snd ) It will be resolved soon by renaming device sound to device snd and doing associated changes. Ef

    The driver provides support for PCM audio play and capture. This driver also supports various PCI ISA WSS/MSS compatible sound cards, AC97 mixer and High Definition Audio. Once the driver attaches, supported devices provide audio record and playback channels. The Fx sound system provides dynamic mixing ``VCHAN'' and rate conversion ``soft formats'' True full duplex operation is available on most sound cards.

    If the sound card is supported by a bridge driver, the driver works in conjunction with the bridge driver.

    Apart from the usual parameters, the flags field is used to specify the secondary DMA channel (generally used for capture in full duplex cards). Flags are set to 0 for cards not using a secondary DMA channel, or to 0x10 + C to specify channel C.

    The driver does its best to recognize the installed hardware and drive it correctly so the user is not required to add several lines in /boot/device.hints For PCI and ISA PnP cards this is actually easy since they identify themselves. For legacy ISA cards, the driver looks for MSS cards at addresses 0x530 and 0x604 (unless overridden in /boot/device.hints )  

    Boot Variables

    In general, the module snd_foo corresponds to device snd_foo and can be loaded by the boot loader(8) via loader.conf5 or from the command line using the kldload(8) utility. Options which can be specified in /boot/loader.conf include:

    snd_driver_load
    (``NO '' ) If set to ``YES '' this option loads all available drivers.
    snd_emu10k1_load
    (``NO '' ) If set to ``YES '' only the SoundBlaster 5.1 driver and dependent modules will be loaded.
    snd_foo_load
    (``NO '' ) If set to ``YES '' load driver for card/chipset foo.

    To define default values for the different mixer channels, set the channel to the preferred value using hints, e.g.: hint.pcm.0.line = Qq 0 This will mute the input channel per default.  

    VCHAEach device can optionally support more playback and recording channels

    than physical hardware provides by using ``virtual channels'' or VCHA VCHAN options can be configured via the sysctl(8) interface but can only be manipulated while the device is inactive.  

    Runtime Configuration

    There are a number of sysctl(8) variables available. hw.snd.* tunables are global settings and dev.pcm.* are device specific.

    hw.snd.latency_profile
    Define sets of buffering latency conversion tables for the hw.snd.latency tunable. A value of 0 will use a low and aggressive latency profile which can result in possible underruns if the application cannot keep up with a rapid irq rate, especially during high workload. The default value is 1, which is considered a moderate/safe latency profile.
    hw.snd.latency
    Configure the buffering latency. Only affects applications that do not explicitly request blocksize / fragments. This tunable provides finer granularity than the hw.snd.latency_profile tunable. Possible values range between 0 (lowest latency) and 10 (highest latency).
    hw.snd.report_soft_formats
    Controls the internal format conversion if it is available transparently to the application software. When disabled or not available, the application will only be able to select formats the device natively supports.
    hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap
    Enable to allow PROT_EXEC page mappings. All Linux applications using sound and mmap(2) require this.
    hw.snd.feeder_rate_round
    Sample rate rounding threshold, to avoid large prime division at the cost of accuracy. All requested sample rates will be rounded to the nearest threshold value. Possible values range between 0 (disabled) and 500. Default is 25.
    hw.snd.feeder_rate_max
    Maximum allowable sample rate.
    hw.snd.feeder_rate_min
    Minimum allowable sample rate.
    hw.snd.verbose
    Level of verbosity for the /dev/sndstat device. Higher values include more output and the highest level, four, should be used when reporting problems. Other options include:

    0
    Installed devices and their allocated bus resources.
    1
    The number of playback, record, virtual channels, and flags per device.
    2
    Channel information per device including the channel's current format, speed, and pseudo device statistics such as buffer overruns and buffer underruns.
    3
    File names and versions of the currently loaded sound modules.
    4
    Various messages intended for debugging.

    hw.snd.maxautovchans
    Global VCHAN setting that only affects devices with at least one playback or recording channel available. The sound system will dynamically create up this many VCHA Set to ``0'' if no VCHANS are desired. Maximum value is 256.
    hw.snd.default_unit
    Default sound card for systems with multiple sound cards. When using devfs(5), the default device for /dev/dsp Equivalent to a symlink from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp ${hw.snd.default_unit}
    hw.snd.default_auto
    Enable to automatically assign default sound unit to the most recent attached device.
    dev.pcm.%d.[play|rec].vchans
    The current number of VCHAallocated per device. This can be set to preallocate a certain number of VCHA Setting this value to ``0'' will disable VCHAfor this device.
    dev.pcm.%d.[play|rec].vchanrate
    Sample rate speed for VCHAN mixing. All playback paths will be converted to this sample rate before the mixing process begins.
    dev.pcm.%d.[play|rec].vchanformat
    Format for VCHAN mixing. All playback paths will be converted to this format before the mixing process begins.
    dev.pcm.%d.polling
    Experimental polling mode support where the driver operates by querying the device state on each tick using a callout(9) mechanism. Disabled by default and currently only available for a few device drivers.

     

    Recording Channels

    On devices that have more than one recording source (ie: mic and line), there is a corresponding /dev/dsp%d.r%d device.  

    Statistics

    Channel statistics are only kept while the device is open. So with situations involving overruns and underruns, consider the output while the errant application is open and running.  

    IOCTL Support

    The driver supports most of the OSS ioctl ();
    functions, and most applications work unmodified. A few differences exist, while memory mapped playback is supported natively and in Linux emulation, memory mapped recording is not due to VM system design. As a consequence, some applications may need to be recompiled with a slightly modified audio module. See    #include <sys/soundcard.h>
    for a complete list of the supported ioctl ();
    functions.  

    FILES

    The drivers may create the following device nodes:

    /dev/audio%d.%d
    Sparc-compatible audio device.
    /dev/dsp%d.%d
    Digitized voice device.
    /dev/dspW%d.%d
    Like /dev/dsp but 16 bits per sample.
    /dev/dsp%d.p%d
    Playback channel.
    /dev/dsp%d.r%d
    Record channel.
    /dev/dsp%d.vp%d
    Virtual playback channel.
    /dev/dsp%d.vr%d
    Virtual recording channel.
    /dev/sndstat
    Current status, including all channels and drivers.

    The first number in the device node represents the unit number of the device. All devices are listed in /dev/sndstat Additional messages are sometimes recorded when the device is probed and attached, these messages can be viewed with the dmesg(8) utility.

    The above device nodes are only created on demand through the dynamic devfs(5) clone handler. Users are strongly discouraged to access them directly. For specific sound card access, please instead use /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp%d  

    DIAGNOSTICS

    pcm%d:play:%d:dsp%d.p%d: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
    The hardware does not generate interrupts to serve incoming (play) or outgoing (record) data.
    unsupported subdevice XX
    A device node is not created properly.
