How to enable CMI 8330 (SOUNDPRO) soundchip on Linux
------------------------------------------
Stefan Laudat <Stefan.Laudat@asit.ro>

[Note: The CMI 8338 is unrelated and right now unsupported]

	
	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:

<snip below>


(READPORT 0x0203)

(ACT Y)

	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 /etc/conf.modules:

alias sound ad1848
alias synth0 opl3
options ad1848 io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 soundpro=1
options opl3 io=0x388
