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

91.Sh BUGS
92The
93.Nm
94driver
95does not support S/PDIF, but implementing it should be fairly easy if the
96right hardware is available.
97.Pp
9832bit native recording is broken on some hardware.
