29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm snd_es137x
32.Nd "Ensoniq AudioPCI ES137x 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_es137x"
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_es137x_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50bridge driver allows the generic audio driver
51.Xr sound 4
52to attach to the Ensoniq 137x audio cards.
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 hw.snd.pcm%d.latency_timer" -offset indent
60.It Va hw.snd.pcm%d.latency_timer
61Controls the PCI latency timer setting.
62Increasing this value will solve most popping and crackling issues
63(especially on VIA motherboards).
64.It Va hw.snd.pcm%d.spdif_enabled
65Enables S/PDIF output on the primary playback channel.
66This
67.Xr sysctl 8
68variable is available only if the device is known to support S/PDIF output.
69.It Va dev.pcm.%d.polling
70Experimental polling mode, where the driver operates by querying the device
71state on each tick using
72.Xr callout 9 .
73Polling is disabled by default.
74Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt problems or if the
75device cannot generate interrupts at all.
76.El
77.Sh HARDWARE
78The
79.Nm
80driver supports the following sound cards:
