Documentation for CMI 8330 (SoundPRO)
-------------------------------------
Alessandro Zummo <azummo@ita.flashnet.it>
( Be sure to read Documentation/sound/oss/SoundPro too )
This adapter is now directly supported by the sb driver.
The only thing you have to do is to compile the kernel sound
support as a module and to enable kernel ISAPnP support,
as shown below.
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_ISAPNP=y
and optionally:
CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m
for MPU401 support.
(I suggest you to use "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"
for a more comfortable configuration editing)
Then you can do
modprobe sb
and everything will be (hopefully) configured.
You should get something similar in syslog:
sb: CMI8330 detected.
sb: CMI8330 sb base located at 0x220
sb: CMI8330 mpu base located at 0x330
sb: CMI8330 mail reports to Alessandro Zummo <azummo@ita.flashnet.it>
sb: ISAPnP reports CMI 8330 SoundPRO at i/o 0x220, irq 7, dma 1,5
The old documentation file follows for reference
purposes.
How to enable CMI 8330 (SOUNDPRO) soundchip on Linux
------------------------------------------
Stefan Laudat <Stefan.Laudat@asit.ro>
[Note: The CMI 8338 is unrelated and is supported by cmpci.o]
In order to use CMI8330 under Linux you just have to use a proper isapnp.conf, a good isapnp and a little bit of patience. I use isapnp 1.17, but
you may get a better one I guess at http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/.
Of course you will have to compile kernel sound support as module, as shown below:
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m
# Mikro$chaft sound system (kinda useful here ;))
CONFIG_SOUND_MSS=m
The /etc/isapnp.conf file will be:

The module sequence is trivial:
/sbin/insmod soundcore
/sbin/insmod sound
/sbin/insmod uart401
# insert this first
/sbin/insmod ad1848 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 soundpro=1
# The sb module is an alternative to the ad1848 (Microsoft Sound System)
# Anyhow, this is full duplex and has MIDI
/sbin/insmod sb io=0x220 dma=1 dma16=5 irq=5 mpu_io=0x330
Alma Chao <elysian@ethereal.torsion.org> suggests the following in
a /etc/modprobe.d/*conf file:
alias sound ad1848
alias synth0 opl3
options ad1848 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 soundpro=1
options opl3 io=0x388
