Be sure to have all the information 10 about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port, 11 interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it. 12 13 You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from 14 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about 15 the modular sound system is contained in the files 16 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file 17 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly 18 outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound 19 driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>. 20 21 If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot 22 time using the ISA PnP tools (read 23 <http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to 24 compile the sound card support as a module and load that module 25 after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here 26 and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module 27 will be called soundcore. 28 29if SOUND 30 31config SOUND_OSS_CORE 32 bool 33 default n 34 35config SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM 36 bool "Preclaim OSS device numbers" 37 depends on SOUND_OSS_CORE 38 default y 39 help 40 With this option enabled, the kernel will claim all OSS device 41 numbers if any OSS support (native or emulation) is enabled 42 whether the respective module is loaded or not and try to load the 43 appropriate module using sound-slot/service-* and char-major-* 44 module aliases when one of the device numbers is opened. With 45 this option disabled, kernel will only claim actually in-use 46 device numbers and opening a missing device will generate only the 47 standard char-major-* aliases. 48 49 The only visible difference is use of additional module aliases 50 and whether OSS sound devices appear multiple times in 51 /proc/devices. sound-slot/service-* module aliases are scheduled 52 to be removed (ie. PRECLAIM won't be available) and this option is 53 to make the transition easier. This option can be overridden 54 during boot using the kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss. 55 56 Disabling this allows alternative OSS implementations. 57 58 Please read Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt for 59 details. 60 61 If unusre, say Y. 62 63source "sound/oss/dmasound/Kconfig" 64 65if !M68K 66 67menuconfig SND 68 tristate "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" 69 help 70 Say 'Y' or 'M' to enable ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), 71 the new base sound system. 72 73 For more information, see <http://www.alsa-project.org/> 74 75if SND 76 77source "sound/core/Kconfig" 78 79source "sound/drivers/Kconfig" 80 81source "sound/isa/Kconfig" 82 83source "sound/pci/Kconfig" 84 85source "sound/ppc/Kconfig" 86 87source "sound/aoa/Kconfig" 88 89source "sound/arm/Kconfig" 90 91source "sound/atmel/Kconfig" 92 93source "sound/spi/Kconfig" 94 95source "sound/mips/Kconfig" 96 97source "sound/sh/Kconfig" 98 99# the following will depend on the order of config. 100# here assuming USB is defined before ALSA 101source "sound/usb/Kconfig" 102 103# the following will depend on the order of config. 104# here assuming PCMCIA is defined before ALSA 105source "sound/pcmcia/Kconfig" 106 107source "sound/sparc/Kconfig" 108 109source "sound/parisc/Kconfig" 110 111source "sound/soc/Kconfig" 112 113endif # SND 114 115menuconfig SOUND_PRIME 116 tristate "Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)" 117 select SOUND_OSS_CORE 118 help 119 Say 'Y' or 'M' to enable Open Sound System drivers. 120 121if SOUND_PRIME 122 123source "sound/oss/Kconfig" 124 125endif # SOUND_PRIME 126 127endif # !M68K 128 129endif # SOUND 130 131# AC97_BUS is used from both sound and ucb1400 132config AC97_BUS 133 tristate 134 help 135 This is used to avoid config and link hard dependencies between the 136 sound subsystem and other function drivers completely unrelated to 137 sound although they're sharing the AC97 bus.
