8 In order to use CMI8330 under Linux you just have to use a proper isapnp.conf, a good isapnp and a little bit of patience. I use isapnp 1.17, but
9 you may get a better one I guess at http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/.
11 Of course you will have to compile kernel sound support as module, as shown below:
18 # Mikro$chaft sound system (kinda useful here ;))
21 The /etc/isapnp.conf file will be:
30 (CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
36 (CONFIGURE CMI0001/16777472 (LD 0
37 (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0530))
38 (IO 1 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0388))
39 (INT 0 (IRQ 7 (MODE +E)))
41 (NAME "CMI0001/16777472[0]{CMI8330/C3D Audio Adapter}")
47 (CONFIGURE CMI0001/16777472 (LD 1
48 (IO 0 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
49 (INT 0 (IRQ 11 (MODE +E)))
50 (NAME "CMI0001/16777472[1]{CMI8330/C3D Audio Adapter}")
56 (CONFIGURE CMI0001/16777472 (LD 2
57 (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200))
58 (NAME "CMI0001/16777472[2]{CMI8330/C3D Audio Adapter}")
64 (CONFIGURE CMI0001/16777472 (LD 3
65 (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
66 (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
69 (NAME "CMI0001/16777472[3]{CMI8330/C3D Audio Adapter}")
78 The module sequence is trivial:
80 /sbin/insmod soundcore
84 /sbin/insmod ad1848 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 soundpro=1
85 # The sb module is an alternative to the ad1848 (Microsoft Sound System)
86 # Anyhow, this is full duplex and has MIDI
87 /sbin/insmod sb io=0x220 dma=1 dma16=5 irq=5 mpu_io=0x330
91 Alma Chao <elysian@ethereal.torsion.org> suggests the following /etc/conf.modules:
95 options ad1848 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 soundpro=1
