27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm snd_es137x
30.Nd "Ensoniq AudioPCI ES137x 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_es137x"
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_es137x_load="YES"
44.Ed
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48bridge driver allows the generic audio driver
49.Xr sound 4
50to attach to the Ensoniq 137x audio cards.
51.Ss Runtime Configuration
52The following
53.Xr sysctl 8
54variables are available in addition to those available to all
55.Xr sound 4
56devices:
57.Bl -tag -width ".Va hw.snd.pcm%d.latency_timer" -offset indent
58.It Va hw.snd.pcm%d.latency_timer
59Controls the PCI latency timer setting.
60Increasing this value will solve most popping and crackling issues
61(especially on VIA motherboards).
62.It Va hw.snd.pcm%d.spdif_enabled
63Enables S/PDIF output on the primary playback channel.
64This
65.Xr sysctl 8
66variable is available only if the device is known to support S/PDIF output.
67.It Va dev.pcm.%d.polling
68Experimental polling mode, where the driver operates by querying the device
69state on each tick using
70.Xr callout 9 .
71Polling is disabled by default.
72Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt problems or if the
73device cannot generate interrupts at all.
74.El
75.Sh HARDWARE
76The
77.Nm
78driver supports the following sound cards:
