💖 AUIXP(4) 💖

okay bestie, we're looking at AUIXP(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — yeah, the kernel one, we're fancy now 💅. Pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet but lowkey useful.

✨ NAME ✨

auixp — the ATI IXP series integrated AC'97 audio device driver 🎧✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

auixp* at pci? dev ? function ?
audio* at audiobus?

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically the auixp device driver is the one that supports the integrated AC'97 audio controller of the ATP IXP series I/O controller hub. Yes, that's a lot of acronyms, I know, breathe 🫶.

And which models does it actually support? All the chips that have IXP-200 base functionality for codec communication and DAC/ADC DMA support — that's the vibe check it has to pass, okay? If your chip matches, you're golden 🔥.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

read those, they're giving lore 👑

💜 HISTORY 💜

The auixp device driver appeared in NetBSD 2.1. nostalgia trip fr fr 🌈⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

okay listen, not everything is slay here 😭:

  • The ‘SPDIF’ support is still rudimentary and not supported other than through the codec. like, it's giving baby steps.
  • ‘Quadrophonic’ and ‘Dolby 5.1’ audio are supported but untested 👀 — so they say they work, but nobody's confirmed it. proceed with caution bestie.
ngl, "supported but untested" is such a mood, but in driver terms it means: it should work, no promises.

mmm and that's the whole page! 🍓 It's dated June 22, 2005 and the footer says Debian, so yeah — this baby's got some history on it, and it's still out here doing its audio thing 🎀✨ iykyk 💅
