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

85.Sh HISTORY
86The
87.Nm
88device driver first appeared in
89.Fx 6.1 .

92.An Joel Dahl Aq Mt joel@FreeBSD.org .
93.Sh BUGS
94The
95.Nm
96driver
97does not support S/PDIF, but implementing it should be fairly easy if the
98right hardware is available.
99.Pp
10032bit native recording is broken on some hardware.
