Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

INSTALLATION OF AWE32 SOUND DRIVER FOR LINUX
|
|
Takashi Iwai <iwai@ww.uni-erlangen.de>
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
* Attention to SB-PnP Card Users
|
|
|
|
If you're using PnP cards, the initialization of PnP is required
|
|
before loading this driver. You have now three options:
|
|
1. Use isapnptools.
|
|
2. Use in-kernel isapnp support.
|
|
3. Initialize PnP on DOS/Windows, then boot linux by loadlin.
|
|
In this document, only the case 1 case is treated.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
* Installation on Red Hat 5.0 Sound Driver
|
|
|
|
Please use install-rh.sh under RedHat5.0 directory.
|
|
DO NOT USE install.sh below.
|
|
See INSTALL.RH for more details.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
* Installation/Update by Shell Script
|
|
|
|
1. Become root
|
|
|
|
% su
|
|
|
|
2. If you have never configured the kernel tree yet, run make config
|
|
once (to make dependencies and symlinks).
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/linux
|
|
# make xconfig
|
|
|
|
3. Run install.sh script
|
|
|
|
# sh ./install.sh
|
|
|
|
4. Configure your kernel
|
|
|
|
(for Linux 2.[01].x user)
|
|
# cd /usr/src/linux
|
|
# make xconfig (or make menuconfig)
|
|
|
|
(for Linux 1.2.x user)
|
|
# cd /usr/src/linux
|
|
# make config
|
|
|
|
Answer YES to both "lowlevel drivers" and "AWE32 wave synth" items
|
|
in Sound menu. ("lowlevel drivers" will appear only in 2.x
|
|
kernel.)
|
|
|
|
5. Make your kernel (and modules), and install them as usual.
|
|
|
|
5a. make kernel image
|
|
# make zImage
|
|
|
|
5b. make modules and install them
|
|
# make modules && make modules_install
|
|
|
|
5c. If you're using lilo, copy the kernel image and run lilo.
|
|
Otherwise, copy the kernel image to suitable directory or
|
|
media for your system.
|
|
|
|
6. Reboot the kernel if necessary.
|
|
- If you updated only the modules, you don't have to reboot
|
|
the system. Just remove the old sound modules here.
|
|
in
|
|
# rmmod sound.o (linux-2.0 or OSS/Free)
|
|
# rmmod awe_wave.o (linux-2.1)
|
|
|
|
7. If your AWE card is a PnP and not initialized yet, you'll have to
|
|
do it by isapnp tools. Otherwise, skip to 8.
|
|
|
|
This section described only a brief explanation. For more
|
|
details, please see the AWE64-Mini-HOWTO or isapnp tools FAQ.
|
|
|
|
7a. If you have no isapnp.conf file, generate it by pnpdump.
|
|
Otherwise, skip to 7d.
|
|
# pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
|
|
|
|
7b. Edit isapnp.conf file. Comment out the appropriate
|
|
lines containing desirable I/O ports, DMA and IRQs.
|
|
Don't forget to enable (ACT Y) line.
|
|
|
|
7c. Add two i/o ports (0xA20 and 0xE20) in WaveTable part.
|
|
ex)
|
|
(CONFIGURE CTL0048/58128 (LD 2
|
|
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
|
|
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
|
|
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
|
|
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
|
|
(ACT Y)
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
7d. Load the config file.
|
|
CAUTION: This will reset all PnP cards!
|
|
|
|
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
|
|
|
|
8. Load the sound module (if you configured it as a module):
|
|
|
|
for 2.0 kernel or OSS/Free monolithic module:
|
|
|
|
# modprobe sound.o
|
|
|
|
for 2.1 kernel:
|
|
|
|
# modprobe sound
|
|
# insmod uart401
|
|
# insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
|
|
(These values depend on your settings.)
|
|
# insmod awe_wave
|
|
(Be sure to load awe_wave after sb!)
|
|
|
|
See Documentation/sound/oss/AWE32 for
|
|
more details.
|
|
|
|
9. (only for obsolete systems) If you don't have /dev/sequencer
|
|
device file, make it according to Readme.linux file on
|
|
/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound. (Run a shell script included in
|
|
that file). <-- This file no longer exists in the recent kernels!
|
|
|
|
10. OK, load your own soundfont file, and enjoy MIDI!
|
|
|
|
% sfxload synthgm.sbk
|
|
% drvmidi foo.mid
|
|
|
|
11. For more advanced use (eg. dynamic loading, virtual bank and
|
|
etc.), please read the awedrv FAQ or the instructions in awesfx
|
|
and awemidi packages.
|
|
|
|
Good luck!
