SND_VIA8233(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		SND_VIA8233(4)

NAME
       snd_via8233 -- VIA Technologies VT8233 bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver into the kernel, place	the following lines in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device sound
	     device snd_via8233

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     snd_via8233_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The   snd_via8233  bridge  driver  allows  the  generic	audio  driver,
       sound(4), to attach to the  VIA	VT8233	audio  devices.	  These	 audio
       chipsets	 are  integrated  in the southbridge on	many VIA based mother-
       boards.

   Runtime Configuration
       The following sysctl(8) variables are available in  addition  to	 those
       available to all	sound(4) devices:

	     dev.pcm.%d.polling	 Experimental  polling	mode, where the	driver
				 operates by querying the device state on each
				 tick using callout(9).	 Polling  is  disabled
				 by  default.  Do not enable it	unless you are
				 facing	weird interrupt	problems or if the de-
				 vice cannot generate interrupts at all.

HARDWARE
       The snd_via8233 driver supports the following audio chipsets:

       o   VIA VT8233
       o   VIA VT8233A
       o   VIA VT8233C
       o   VIA VT8235
       o   VIA VT8237
       o   VIA VT8251

SEE ALSO
       sound(4)

HISTORY
       The snd_via8233 device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.7.

AUTHORS
       This manual page	was written by Joel Dahl <joel@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS
       The snd_via8233 driver does not support S/PDIF.	There is partial  sup-
       port in the code, so implementing it should be fairly easy if the right
       hardware	is available.
