| 5 | This loads the driver for the Sound Blaster and assorted clones. Cards that |
| 6 | are covered by other drivers should not be using this driver. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The Sound Blaster module takes the following arguments |
| 9 | |
| 10 | io I/O address of the Sound Blaster chip (0x220,0x240,0x260,0x280) |
| 11 | irq IRQ of the Sound Blaster chip (5,7,9,10) |
| 12 | dma 8-bit DMA channel for the Sound Blaster (0,1,3) |
| 13 | dma16 16-bit DMA channel for SB16 and equivalent cards (5,6,7) |
| 14 | mpu_io I/O for MPU chip if present (0x300,0x330) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | sm_games=1 Set if you have a Logitech soundman games |
| 17 | acer=1 Set this to detect cards in some ACER notebooks |
| 18 | mwave_bug=1 Set if you are trying to use this driver with mwave (see on) |
| 19 | type Use this to specify a specific card type |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The following arguments are taken if ISAPnP support is compiled in |
| 22 | |
| 23 | isapnp=0 Set this to disable ISAPnP detection (use io=0xXXX etc. above) |
| 24 | multiple=0 Set to disable detection of multiple Soundblaster cards. |
| 25 | Consider it a bug if this option is needed, and send in a |
| 26 | report. |
| 27 | pnplegacy=1 Set this to be able to use a PnP card(s) along with a single |
| 28 | non-PnP (legacy) card. Above options for io, irq, etc. are |
| 29 | needed, and will apply only to the legacy card. |
| 30 | reverse=1 Reverses the order of the search in the PnP table. |
| 31 | uart401=1 Set to enable detection of mpu devices on some clones. |
| 32 | isapnpjump=n Jumps to slot n in the driver's PnP table. Use the source, |
| 33 | Luke. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | You may well want to load the opl3 driver for synth music on most SB and |
| 36 | clone SB devices |
| 37 | |
| 38 | insmod opl3 io=0x388 |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Using Mwave |
| 41 | |
| 42 | To make this driver work with Mwave you must set mwave_bug. You also need |
| 43 | to warm boot from DOS/Windows with the required firmware loaded under this |
| 44 | OS. IBM are being difficult about documenting how to load this firmware. |

| 46 | Avance Logic ALS007 |
| 47 | |
| 48 | This card is supported; see the separate file ALS007 for full details. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Avance Logic ALS100 |
| 51 | |
| 52 | This card is supported; setup should be as for a standard Sound Blaster 16. |
| 53 | The driver will identify the audio device as a "Sound Blaster 16 (ALS-100)". |
