It contain useful -information. - -Configuration -------------- - -The Audio Excel configuration, is now done with the standard Linux setup. -You have to configure the sound card (Sound Blaster or Microsoft Sound System) -and, if you want it, the Roland MPU-401 (do not use the Sound Blaster MPU-401, -SB-MPU401) in the main driver menu. Activate the lowlevel drivers then select -the Audio Excel hardware that you want to initialize. Check the IRQ/DMA/MIRQ -of the Audio Excel initialization: it must be the same as the SBPRO (or MSS) -setup. If the parameters are different, correct it. -I you own a Gallant's audio card based on SC-6600, activate the SC-6600 support. -If you want to change the configuration of the sound board, be sure to -check off all the configuration items before re-configure it. - -Module parameters ------------------ -To use this driver as a module, you must configure some module parameters, to -set up I/O addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. Some parameters are -mandatory while some others are optional. Here a list of parameters you can -use with this module: - -Name Description -==== =========== -MANDATORY -io I/O base address (0x220 or 0x240) -irq irq line (5, 7, 9, 10 or 11) -dma dma channel (0, 1 or 3) - -OPTIONAL -mss_base I/O base address for activate MSS mode (default SBPRO) - (0x530 or 0xE80) -mpu_base I/O base address for activate MPU-401 mode - (0x300, 0x310, 0x320 or 0x330) -mpu_irq MPU-401 irq line (5, 7, 9, 10 or 0) - -A configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory will have lines like this: - -options opl3 io=0x388 -options ad1848 io=0x530 irq=11 dma=3 -options aedsp16 io=0x220 irq=11 dma=3 mss_base=0x530 - -Where the aedsp16 options are the options for this driver while opl3 and -ad1848 are the corresponding options for the MSS and OPL3 modules. - -Loading MSS and OPL3 needs to pre load the aedsp16 module to set up correctly -the sound card. Installation dependencies must be written in configuration -files under /etc/modprobe.d/ directory: - -softdep ad1848 pre: aedsp16 -softdep opl3 pre: aedsp16 - -Then you must load the sound modules stack in this order: -sound -> aedsp16 -> [ ad1848, opl3 ] - -With the above configuration, loading ad1848 or opl3 modules, will -automatically load all the sound stack. - -Sound cards supported ---------------------- -This driver supports the SC-6000 and SC-6600 based Gallant's sound card. -It don't support the Audio Excel DSP 16 III (try the SC-6600 code). -I'm working on the III version of the card: if someone have useful -information about it, please let me know. -For all the non-supported audio cards, you have to boot MS-DOS (or WIN95) -activating the audio card with the MS-DOS device driver, then you have to -<ctrl>-<alt>-<del> and boot Linux. -Follow these steps: - -1) Compile Linux kernel with standard sound driver, using the emulation - you want, with the parameters of your audio card, - e.g. Microsoft Sound System irq10 dma3 -2) Install your new kernel as the default boot kernel. -3) Boot MS-DOS and configure the audio card with the boot time device - driver, for MSS irq10 dma3 in our example. -4) <ctrl>-<alt>-<del> and boot Linux. This will maintain the DOS configuration - and will boot the new kernel with sound driver. The sound driver will find - the audio card and will recognize and attach it. - -Reports on User successes -------------------------- - -> Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 08:35:40 +0100 -> From: Mr S J Greenaway <sjg95@unixfe.rl.ac.uk> -> To: riccardo@cdc8g5.cdc.polimi.it (Riccardo Facchetti) -> Subject: Re: Audio Excel DSP 16 initialization code -> -> Just to let you know got my Audio Excel (emulating a MSS) working -> with my original SB16, thanks for the driver! - - -Last revised: 20 August 1998 -Riccardo Facchetti -fizban@tin.it |
