After an email exhange with -Yamaha, however, it turns out that the 719 is just a re-badged -715, and the chipsets are identical. The chipset detection code -has been updated to reflect this. - -Anyways, all of these chipsets implement the following devices: - -OPL3 FM synthesizer -Soundblaster Pro -Microsoft/Windows Sound System -MPU401 MIDI interface - -Note that this driver uses the MSS device, and to my knowledge these -chipsets enforce an either/or situation with the Soundblaster Pro -device and the MSS device. Since the MSS device has better -capabilities, I have implemented the driver to use it. - - -Mixer Channels --------------- - -Older versions of this driver (pre-December 2000) had two mixers, -an OPL3-SA2 or SA3 mixer and a MSS mixer. The OPL3-SA[23] mixer -device contained a superset of mixer channels consisting of its own -channels and all of the MSS mixer channels. To simplify the driver -considerably, and to partition functionality better, the OPL3-SA[23] -mixer device now contains has its own specific mixer channels. They -are: - -Volume - Hardware master volume control -Bass - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels -Treble - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels -Microphone - Hardware microphone input volume control -Digital1 - Yamaha 3D enhancement "Wide" mixer - -All other mixer channels (e.g. "PCM", "CD", etc.) now have to be -controlled via the "MS Sound System (CS4231)" mixer. To facilitate -this, the mixer device creation order has been switched so that -the MSS mixer is created first. This allows accessing the majority -of the useful mixer channels even via single mixer-aware tools -such as "aumix". - - -Plug 'n Play ------------- - -In previous kernels (2.2.x), some configuration was required to -get the driver to talk to the card. Being the new millennium and -all, the 2.4.x kernels now support auto-configuration if ISA PnP -support is configured in. Theoretically, the driver even supports -having more than one card in this case. - -With the addition of PnP support to the driver, two new parameters -have been added to control it: - -isapnp - set to 0 to disable ISA PnP card detection - -multiple - set to 0 to disable multiple PnP card detection - - -Optional Parameters -------------------- - -Recent (December 2000) additions to the driver (based on a patch -provided by Peter Englmaier) are two new parameters: - -ymode - Set Yamaha 3D enhancement mode: - 0 = Desktop/Normal 5-12 cm speakers - 1 = Notebook PC (1) 3 cm speakers - 2 = Notebook PC (2) 1.5 cm speakers - 3 = Hi-Fi 16-38 cm speakers - -loopback - Set A/D input source. Useful for echo cancellation: - 0 = Mic Right channel (default) - 1 = Mono output loopback - -The ymode parameter has been tested and does work. The loopback -parameter, however, is untested. Any feedback on its usefulness -would be appreciated. - - -Manual Configuration --------------------- - -If for some reason you decide not to compile ISA PnP support into -your kernel, or disabled the driver's usage of it by setting the -isapnp parameter as discussed above, then you will need to do some -manual configuration. There are two ways of doing this. The most -common is to use the isapnptools package to initialize the card, and -use the kernel module form of the sound subsystem and sound drivers. -Alternatively, some BIOS's allow manual configuration of installed -PnP devices in a BIOS menu, which should allow using the non-modular -sound drivers, i.e. built into the kernel. - -I personally use isapnp and modules, and do not have access to a PnP -BIOS machine to test. If you have such a beast, configuring the -driver to be built into the kernel should just work (thanks to work -done by David Luyer <luyer@ucs.uwa.edu.au>). You will still need -to specify settings, which can be done by adding: - -opl3sa2=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<mssio>,<mpuio> - -to the kernel command line. For example: - -opl3sa2=0x370,5,0,1,0x530,0x330 - -If you are instead using the isapnp tools (as most people have been -before Linux 2.4.x), follow the directions in their documentation to -produce a configuration file. Here is the relevant excerpt I used to -use for my SA3 card from my isapnp.conf: - -(CONFIGURE YMH0800/-1 (LD 0 - -# NOTE: IO 0 is for the unused SoundBlaster part of the chipset. -(IO 0 (BASE 0x0220)) -(IO 1 (BASE 0x0530)) -(IO 2 (BASE 0x0388)) -(IO 3 (BASE 0x0330)) -(IO 4 (BASE 0x0370)) -(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E))) -(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0)) -(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 1)) - -Here, note that: - -Port Acceptable Range Purpose ----- ---------------- ------- -IO 0 0x0220 - 0x0280 SB base address, unused. -IO 1 0x0530 - 0x0F48 MSS base address -IO 2 0x0388 - 0x03F8 OPL3 base address -IO 3 0x0300 - 0x0334 MPU base address -IO 4 0x0100 - 0x0FFE card's own base address for its control I/O ports - -The IRQ and DMA values can be any that are considered acceptable for a -MSS. Assuming you've got isapnp all happy, then you should be able to -do something like the following (which matches up with the isapnp -configuration above): - -modprobe mpu401 -modprobe ad1848 -modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 -modprobe opl3 io=0x388 - -See the section "Automatic Module Loading" below for how to set up -/etc/modprobe.conf to automate this. - -An important thing to remember that the opl3sa2 module's io argument is -for it's own control port, which handles the card's master mixer for -volume (on all cards), and bass and treble (on SA3 cards). - - -Troubleshooting ---------------- - -If all goes well and you see no error messages, you should be able to -start using the sound capabilities of your system. If you get an -error message while trying to insert the opl3sa2 module, then make -sure that the values of the various arguments match what you specified -in your isapnp configuration file, and that there is no conflict with -another device for an I/O port or interrupt. Checking the contents of -/proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts can be useful to see if you're -butting heads with another device. - -If you still cannot get the module to load, look at the contents of -your system log file, usually /var/log/messages. If you see the -message "opl3sa2: Unknown Yamaha audio controller version", then you -have a different chipset version than I've encountered so far. Look -for all messages in the log file that start with "opl3sa2: " and see -if they provide any clues. If you do not see the chipset version -message, and none of the other messages present in the system log are -helpful, email me some details and I'll try my best to help. - - -Automatic Module Loading ------------------------- - -Lastly, if you're using modules and want to set up automatic module -loading with kmod, the kernel module loader, here is the section I -currently use in my modprobe.conf file: - -# Sound -alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 -options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=7 dma=0 dma2=3 -options opl3 io=0x388 - -That's all it currently takes to get an OPL3-SA3 card working on my -system. Once again, if you have any other problems, email me at the -address listed above. - -Scott |
