Both cards have on-board memory which is used for +seamless playback of samples. They can play back 8- or 16-bit samples +at up to 44.1kHz. They can record 8-bit samples at up to 44.1kHz. +The UltraSound MAX is a full-duplex sound device, and if +configured with two DRQ channels can be used for simultaneous playback +and recording. The I/O port base is jumper-selected, and may be chosen +from 0x210-0x260 in steps of 0x10. (The normal setting is 0x220.) The +GUS takes 16 ports at its base address and 8 ports at its base address + +0x100. +.Pp +The IRQ is software programmed, so you may select any IRQ from the set +{3,5,7,9,11,12,15}. The DRQ lines are software programmed, and may be +chosen from {1,3,5,6,7}. The flags field in the configuration file line +specifies a second DRQ line for recording. If there is no flags field +in the config file, the playback channel will be used for recording DMA +and only half-duplex mode will be available. +.Pp +The Gravis UltraSound MAX has an additional CODEC onboard which is +addressed with four ports at an offset of 0x10C from the base ports +(0x31C-0x36C). +.Sh BUGS +The full-duplex features of the GUS MAX have not been fully tested, and +full-duplex on the original GUS may not be possible at all. +.Pp +Only two voices on the GF1 synthesizer chip are used by this driver (for +left and right channels). +.Pp +Manipulating the mixer while audio samples are playing can lead to +device driver confusion (and maybe even a system panic). +.Pp +Manipulating the mixer device seems to create pregnant system pauses, +probably due to excessive interrupt masking. +.Pp +The joystick and MIDI port interfaces are not supported. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr audio 4 +.Sh REFERENCES +Gravis UltraSound Low-Level Toolkit, Revision 2.01, 20 May 1993, +published by Advanced Gravis and Forte Technologies. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm gus +device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.1. |
