35.Sh NAME
36.Nm sv
37.Nd S3 SonicVibes audio device driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "sv* at pci? dev ? function ?"
40.Cd "audio* at sv?"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for S3 SonicVibes (S3-617) chipset-based
45cards. Disabling the SRS 3-D spatial feature of the chip is
46recommended for higher quality audio. This can be done in software
47by issuing the
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
49mixerctl -w outputs.spatial=off
50
51.Ed
52command.
53.Pp
54.Sh SEE ALSO
55.Xr audio 4 ,
56.Xr mixer 4
57.Sh HISTORY
58This driver is based on the
59.Xr eap 4
60driver by Lennart Augustsson.
61The
62.Nm
63device driver appeared in
64.Ox 2.6 .
65.Sh BUGS
66The "FM" DAC, wavetable synth, and MIDI port are not
67supported. Recording at a rate different from playback is supported by
68the chip but not the driver. The mixer does not allow control of reverb,
69digital loopback, or 3-D SRS features. The chip does not support exact
70record speeds (it seems) of 11025hz, 22050hz, and so on, used by
71Windows audio. Usually, the actual record is rate is around +/- 50hz of
72the specified.
