Howto configure the Linux kernel / sound / drivers


 * ALSA generic drivers

Generic devices

 * depends on SND!=n


 * Option: SND_MPU401_UART
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...      tristate
 * select SND_TIMER      select SND_RAWMIDI


 * Option: SND_OPL3_LIB
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module)
 * select SND_TIMER
 * select SND_HWDEP


 * Option: SND_OPL4_LIB
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module)
 * select SND_TIMER
 * select SND_HWDEP


 * Option: SND_VX_LIB
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module)
 * select SND_HWDEP
 * select SND_PCM


 * Option: SND_DUMMY
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) Dummy (/dev/null) soundcard
 * depends on SND
 * select SND_PCM
 * select SND_GENERIC_DRIVER
 * Say Y here to include the dummy driver. This driver does nothing, but emulates various mixer controls and PCM devices.
 * You don't need this unless you're testing the hardware support of programs using the ALSA API.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-dummy.


 * Option: SND_VIRMIDI
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) Virtual MIDI soundcard
 * depends on SND_SEQUENCER
 * select SND_TIMER
 * select SND_RAWMIDI
 * select SND_GENERIC_DRIVER
 * Say Y here to include the virtual MIDI driver. This driver allows to connect applications using raw MIDI devices to sequencer clients.
 * If you don't know what MIDI is, say N here.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-virmidi.


 * Option: SND_MTPAV
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) MOTU MidiTimePiece AV multiport MIDI
 * depends on SND
 * select SND_TIMER
 * select SND_RAWMIDI
 * select SND_GENERIC_DRIVER
 * To use a MOTU MidiTimePiece AV multiport MIDI adapter connected to the parallel port, say Y here and make sure that the standard parallel port driver isn't used for the port.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-mtpav.


 * Option: SND_SERIAL_U16550
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) UART16550 serial MIDI driver
 * depends on SND
 * select SND_TIMER
 * select SND_RAWMIDI
 * select SND_GENERIC_DRIVER
 * To include support for MIDI serial port interfaces, say Y here and read . This driver works with serial UARTs 16550 and better.
 * This driver accesses the serial port hardware directly, so make sure that the standard serial driver isn't used or deactivated with setserial before loading this driver.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-serial-u16550.


 * Option: SND_MPU401
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) Generic MPU-401 UART driver
 * depends on SND
 * select SND_MPU401_UART
 * select SND_GENERIC_DRIVER
 * Say Y here to include support for MIDI ports compatible with the Roland MPU-401 interface in UART mode.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-mpu401.
