36kernel configuration file: 37.Bd -ragged -offset indent 38.Cd "device sound" 39.Cd "device snd_hda" 40.Ed 41.Pp 42Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the 43following line in 44.Xr loader.conf 5 : 45.Bd -literal -offset indent 46snd_hda_load="YES" 47.Ed 48.Sh DESCRIPTION 49The High Definition (HD) Audio specification was developed by Intel as the 50logical successor of the old AC'97 specification and has several advantages, 51such as higher bandwidth which allows more channels and more detailed formats, 52support for several logical audio devices, and general purpose DMA channels. 53.Pp 54The 55.Nm 56driver includes HDA bus controller driver (hdac), HDA codec driver (hdacc) 57and HDA codecs audio functions bridge driver (hdaa) that allows 58the generic audio driver, 59.Xr sound 4 , 60to be used with this hardware. 61Only audio functions are supported by 62.Nm . 63Modem and other possible functions are not implemented. 64.Pp 65The 66.Nm 67driver supports hardware that conforms with revision 1.0 of the Intel High 68Definition Audio specification and tries to behave much like the Microsoft 69Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) draft (revision 0.7b) for handling audio 70devices. 71.Pp 72According to HDA and UAA specifications, depending on the number of HDA buses 73and codecs present in system, their audio capabilities and BIOS provided 74configuration, the 75.Nm 76driver often provides several PCM audio devices. 77For example, one device for main rear 7.1 output and inputs, one device 78for independent headset connectors at front and one device for SPDIF or 79HDMI audio input/output. 80The assignment of audio inputs and outputs may be tuned with 81.Xr device.hints 5 82or 83.Xr sysctl 8 . 84The driver's verbose boot messages provide a lot of information about 85the operation of the driver and present audio setup. 86.Pp 87The default audio device may be tuned by setting the 88.Ar hw.snd.default_unit 89sysctl, as described in 90.Xr sound 4 , 91or explicitly specified in application settings. 92.Ss Boot-time Configuration 93The following variables are available at boot-time through the 94.Xr device.hints 5

133.Dq Li no , 134such as 135.Dq Li nofixedrate , 136will do the opposite and takes precedence. 137Options can be separated by whitespace and commas. 138.Pp 139The 140.Dq Li eapdinv 141option inverts External Amplifier Power Down signal. 142The 143.Dq Li fixedrate 144denies all sampling rates except 48KHz. 145The 146.Dq Li forcestereo 147denies mono playback/recording. 148The 149.Dq Li senseinv 150option inverts jack sensing logic. 151The 152.Dq Li ivref Ns Ar X 153and 154.Dq Li ovref Ns Ar X 155options control the voltage used to power external microphones. 156.It Va hint.hdaa.%d.gpio_config 157Overrides audio function GPIO pins configuration set by BIOS. 158May be specified as a set of space-separated 159.Dq Ar num Ns = Ns Ar value 160pairs, where 161.Ar num 162is GPIO line number, and 163.Ar value 164is one of: 165.Dq Li keep , 166.Dq Li set , 167.Dq Li clear , 168.Dq Li disable 169and 170.Dq Li input . 171.Pp 172.Dq Li GPIO Ns s 173are a codec's General Purpose I/O pins which system integrators sometimes 174use to control external muters, amplifiers and so on. 175If you have no sound, or sound volume is not adequate, you may have to 176experiment a bit with the GPIO setup to find the optimal setup for your 177system. 178.It Va hint.hdaa.%d.nid%d.config 179Overrides audio function pin configuration set by BIOS. 180May be specified as a 32-bit hexadecimal value with a leading 181.Dq 0x , 182or as a set of space-separated 183.Dq Ar option Ns = Ns Ar value 184pairs. 185.It Va hint.pcm.%d.rec.autosrc 186Controls automatic recording source feature: 187.Bl -tag -width 2n -compact 188.It 0 189disabled, 190.It 1 191once on attach, 192.It 2 193enabled. 194.El 195When enabled, driver will automatically set recording source of the mixer to 196connected input using jack presence detection statuses. 197.El 198.Pp 199Pin configuration is the UAA driver's main source of information about codec 200usage. 201This information is usually provided by the codec manufacturer and tuned 202by system integrators for specific system requirements. 203The 204.Nm 205driver allows users to override it to fix integrator mistakes or to use the 206available codec in alternative ways (for example to get stereo output and 2 207inputs instead of a single 5.1 output). 208.Pp 209The following options are supported: 210.Bl -tag -width ".Va device=" -offset indent 211.It Va as 212Association number. 213Associations are used to group individual pins to form a complex multi-pin 214device. 215For example, to group 4 connectors for 7.1 input/output, or to treat several 216input connectors as sources for the same input device. 217Association numbers can be specified as numeric values from 0 to 15. 218A value of 0 means disabled pin. 219A value of 15 is a set of independent unassociated pins. 220Each association includes only pins of the same direction (in/out) and is 221detected atomically (all pins or none). 222A separate PCM audio device is created for every pair of input and 223output associations. 224.It Va seq 225Sequence number. 226A unique, per-association number used to order pins inside the 227particular association. 228Sequence numbers can be specified as numeric values from 0 to 15. 229.Pp 230The sequence number 15 has a special meaning for output associations. 231Output pins with this number and device type 232.Dq Ar Headphones 233will duplicate (with automatic mute if jack detection is supported) the 234first pin in that association. 235.Pp 236The sequence numbers 14 and 15 has a special meaning for input associations. 237Their presence in association defines it as multiplexed or mixed respectively. 238If none of them are present and there are more than one pin in association, 239the association will provide multichannel input. 240.Pp 241For multichannel input/output associations sequence numbers encode 242channel pairs positions: 2430 - Front, 1 - Center/LFE, 2 - Back, 3 - Front Wide Center, 4 - Side. 244Standard combinations are: (0) - Stereo; (0, 2), (0, 4) - Quadro; 245(0, 1, 2), (0, 1, 4) - 5.1; (0, 1, 2, 4) - 7.1. 246.It Va device 247Device type. 248Can be specified as a

describes the pin direction (in/out). 267For example, 268.Dq Li CD 269always means an input pin, while 270.Dq Li Headphones 271always means an output. 272.It Va conn 273Connection type. 274Can be specified as a number from 0 to 3. 275The connection type can also be specified as one of the special names 276.Dq Li Jack , 277.Dq Li None , 278.Dq Li Fixed , 279or 280.Dq Li Both . 281Pins with a connection type of 282.Dq Li None 283are disabled. 284.It Va ctype 285Connector physical type. 286Can be specified as a number from 0 to 15. 287This is a reference only value. 288It is ignored by the

to specify how many bits of these 32 should be 375used by CODEC. 376Depending on codec capabilities, possible values are 20, 24 and 32 bit. 377The default value is 24. 378.It Va dev.pcm.%d.rec.autosrc

connectors on a front side, three audio connectors 386on a rear side and one internal speaker. 387According to verbose driver output and the codec datasheet, 388this codec has five stereo DACs and two stereo ADCs, all of them are routable to 389any codec pin (external connector). 390All codec pins are reversible (could be configured either as input or output). 391.Pp 392So high codec uniformity and flexibility allow driver to configure it in many 393different ways, depending on requested pins usage described by pins configuration. 394The driver reports such default pin configuration when verbose
