48 the standard Linux kernels support a modular sound driver. From
49 Alan's comments in linux/drivers/sound/README.FIRST:
51 The modular sound driver patches were funded by Red Hat Software
52 (www.redhat.com). The sound driver here is thus a modified version of
56 The modular sound drivers may be loaded via insmod or modprobe.
57 To support all the various sound modules, there are two general
60 soundcore.o: Top level handler for the sound system, provides
64 sound.o: Common sound functions required by all modules.
66 For the specific sound modules (e.g., sb.o for the Soundblaster),

101 sound modules. If this conflicts with the kernel's README,
104 1. To make the kernel sound modules, cd to your /usr/src/linux
113 4. Select your sound driver(s) as a module. For ProAudio, Sound
114 Blaster, etc., select M (module) for OSS sound modules.
129 If the sound card is an ISA PnP card, isapnp may be used
136 PCI sound cards are highly recommended, as they are far
145 order below BEFORE loading the other sound modules. The card-specific

163 When using sound as a module, I typically put these commands
173 alias sound sb
184 The status of sound may be read/checked by:

226 will not support, you can get a commercial sound driver from
227 http://www.opensound.com. Before loading the commercial sound
230 1. remove sound modules (detailed above)
231 2. remove the sound modules from /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
232 3. move the sound modules from /lib/modules/<kernel>/misc
234 directory and copy the sound module files to that
241 The sound drivers will support multiple sound cards and there
243 Typically, you need two sound cards of different types. Note, this
246 sound cards (typically I only use 2). You can sometimes use
247 multiple PCI sound cards of the same type.
249 On my machine I have two sound cards (cs4232 and Soundblaster Vibra
250 16). By loading sound as modules, I can control which is the first
251 sound device (/dev/dsp, /dev/audio, /dev/mixer) and which is
252 the second. Normally, the cs4232 (Dell sound on the motherboard)
253 would be the first sound device, but I prefer the Soundblaster.
264 1. Copy the sound modules to a new name. For example
271 the I/O, etc. for the second sound card.

319 2) If you get motor-boating (the same sound or part of a
320 sound clip repeated), you probably have either an IRQ
339 sound device open. For example, if using the Enlightenment
340 sound daemon "esd", the "esd" program has the sound device.
345 6) Ask for help on the sound list or send E-MAIL to the
346 sound driver author/maintainer.
348 7) Turn on debug in drivers/sound/sound_config.h (DEB, DDB, MDB).
351 load sound with the "dmabufs=1" option. Or in /etc/conf.modules add
353 preinstall sound dmabufs=1
355 This makes the sound system allocate its buffers and hang onto them.
363 There are several ways of configuring your sound:
365 1) On the kernel command line (when using the sound driver(s)
370 using command line calls to load sound.
385 Anyone want to write a linuxconf module for configuring sound?
391 When a sound card is first referenced and sound is modular, the sound system
392 will ask for the sound devices to be loaded. Initially it requests that
393 the driver for the sound system is loaded. It then will ask for
394 sound-slot-0, where 0 is the first sound card. (sound-slot-1 the second and
