35.Sh NAME
36.Nm sv
37.Nd S3 SonicVibes audio device
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "sv* at pci?"
40.Cd "audio* at sv?"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for S3 SonicVibes (S3-617) chipset-based
45cards.
46Disabling the SRS 3-D spatial feature of the chip is recommended for higher
47quality audio.
48This can be done in software by issuing the following command:
49.Bd -literal -offset indent
50$ mixerctl outputs.spatial=off
51.Ed
52.Sh SEE ALSO
53.Xr audio 4 ,
54.Xr intro 4 ,
55.Xr pci 4
56.Sh HISTORY
57This driver is based on the
58.Xr eap 4
59driver by Lennart Augustsson.
60The
61.Nm
62device driver first appeared in
63.Ox 2.6 .
64.Sh BUGS
65The "FM" DAC, wavetable synth, and MIDI port are not
66supported.
67Recording at a rate different from playback is supported by
68the chip but not the driver.
69The mixer does not allow control of reverb, digital loopback, or 3-D SRS
70features.
71The chip does not support exact record speeds (it seems) of 11025Hz,
7222050Hz, and so on, used by Windows audio.
73Usually, the actual record is rate is around +/- 50Hz of the specified.
