31.Sh NAME
32.Nm snd_atiixp
33.Nd "ATI IXP bridge device driver"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device pcm"
39.Cd "device snd_atiixp"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
43following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46snd_atiixp_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51bridge driver allows the generic audio driver,
52.Xr sound 4 ,
53to attach to ATI IXP audio devices.
54This driver supports 16bit playback and recording, and 32bit native playback
55and recording.
56.Ss Runtime Configuration
57The following
58.Xr sysctl 8
59variables are available in addition to those available to all
60.Xr sound 4
61devices:
62.Bl -tag -width ".Va dev.pcm.%d.polling" -offset indent
63.It Va dev.pcm.%d.polling
64Experimental polling mode, where the driver operates by querying the device
65state on each tick using
66.Xr callout 9 .
67Polling is disabled by default.
68Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt problems or if the
69device cannot generate interrupts at all.
70.El
71.Sh HARDWARE
72The
73.Nm
74driver supports the following audio chipsets:

86.Sh HISTORY
87The
88.Nm
89device driver first appeared in
90.Fx 6.1 .
91.Sh AUTHORS
92This manual page was written by
93.An Joel Dahl Aq joel@FreeBSD.org .
94.Sh BUGS
95The
96.Nm
97driver
98does not support S/PDIF, but implementing it should be fairly easy if the
99right hardware is available.
100.Pp
10132bit native recording is broken on some hardware.
