31.Sh NAME
32.Nm wss
33.Nd Windows Sound System hardware audio driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "wss0   at isa? port 0x530 irq 10 drq 0 drq2 1"
36.Cd "wss0   at isa? port 0x530 irq 10 drq 0 flags 1"
37.Cd "wss*   at isapnp?"
38.Cd "wss*   at pnpbios? index ?"
39.Cd "audio* at wss?"
40.Cd "opl*   at wss?"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver supports Microsoft's Windows Sound System, the MAD16 chip based
45hardware, and their clones.
46.Pp
47The base I/O port is set by a jumper on the board; valid choices are
480x530, 0x604, 0xE80, or 0xF40.
49Both IRQ and DMA channels are software programmable.
50The IRQ may be set to 7, 9, 10, or 11, and
51the DMA channel may be set to 0, 1, or 3.
52.Pp
53The device
54.Cm flags
55must have bit 0 (value 1) set to enable the MAD16 support.  This is to
56avoid potential conflicts with other devices when probing the MAD16
57because it requires use of extra I/O ports not in the base port range.
58Chips needing this flag include the OPTi 82C928, 82C929, 82C831, and
59the OAK OTI-601D.  Setting bit 1 (value 2) in
60.Cm flags
61disables the joystick port on MAD16 hardware.
