5 tristate "Sound card support"
8 If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
9 than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information
10 about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port,
11 interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it.
13 You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from
14 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about
15 the modular sound system is contained in the files
16 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file
17 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly
18 outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound
19 driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>.
21 If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot
22 time using the ISA PnP tools (read
23 <http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to
24 compile the sound card support as a module and load that module
25 after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here
26 and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module
27 will be called soundcore.
35 config SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM
36 bool "Preclaim OSS device numbers"
37 depends on SOUND_OSS_CORE
40 With this option enabled, the kernel will claim all OSS device
41 numbers if any OSS support (native or emulation) is enabled
42 whether the respective module is loaded or not and try to load the
43 appropriate module using sound-slot/service-* and char-major-*
44 module aliases when one of the device numbers is opened. With
45 this option disabled, kernel will only claim actually in-use
46 device numbers and opening a missing device will generate only the
47 standard char-major-* aliases.
49 The only visible difference is use of additional module aliases
50 and whether OSS sound devices appear multiple times in
51 /proc/devices. sound-slot/service-* module aliases are scheduled
52 to be removed (ie. PRECLAIM won't be available) and this option is
53 to make the transition easier. This option can be overridden
54 during boot using the kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss.
56 Disabling this allows alternative OSS implementations.

131 # AC97_BUS is used from both sound and ucb1400
135 This is used to avoid config and link hard dependencies between the
136 sound subsystem and other function drivers completely unrelated to
137 sound although they're sharing the AC97 bus. Concerned drivers
138 should "select" this.
