deva-ctrl-audiopci.so

Sound driver for the AudioPCI chip family

---

You must be root to start this driver.

---

Syntax:

Direct invocation (also causes a new io-audio process to start):

io-audio -d audiopci [pci=xx] &

Mounting (requires that io-audio is already running):

mount -Tio-audio [-opci=xx] /lib/dll/deva-ctrl-audiopci.so &

Runs on:

Neutrino

Targets:

x86, MIPS, and PPC

Options:

pci xx

The PCI index of the card you want to attach to. If this option is not specified, the driver will attempt to find the first unused card in the system.

Description:

The deva-ctrl-audiopci.so shared object is a device driver DLL used by the io-audio manager. It uses the API described in the Audio Developer's Guide.

While deva-ctrl-audiopci.so is running, you can use applications with sound, and those that control the sound-system (e.g. mixer).

Examples:

Invoke deva-ctrl-audiopci.so directly from io-audio:

io-audio -d audiopci &

Mount deva-ctrl-audiopci.so (io-audio must be running):

mount -Tio-audio /lib/dll/deva-ctrl-audiopci.so &

Files:

deva-mixer-ac97.so or deva-mixer-ak4531.so

Supports the mixer.

Errors:

When an error occurs, deva-ctrl-audiopci.so sends a description of the error to the system logger (see slogger).
