💖 YDS(4) — the Yamaha DS-1 PCI audio situation 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to YDS(4), straight outta the Kernel Interfaces Manual and ngl this one's a lil cutie. it's the man page for yds, and we're gonna get you acquainted, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

yds — the Yamaha DS-1 series PCI audio controller device driver. that's it, that's the vibe. it's a driver, it does audio, it's from Yamaha, and you're gonna love her. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's how she shows up in your kernel config, verbatim, don't touch:

yds*   at pci? dev ? function ?
audio* at audiobus?
mpu*   at yds?
opl*   at yds?

like look at that little family tree. yds sits on pci? with dev ? and function ?, and then audio*, mpu* and opl* all hang out at her place. iconic nesting behavior fr fr. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the yds device driver supports built-in sound devices and sound cards based on the Yamaha YMF724/740/744/754 PCI audio controller chip — also known as the DS-1 series. that's the whole description, bestie, she's not wordy, she's just that girl. 💅

so if your hardware's rockin' one of those YMF724 / 740 / 744 / 754 chips, this is your driver. built-in sound? supported. sound card? supported. DS-1 series? that's her name, don't wear it out. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the squad, in order, exactly as listed:

go read those too, iykyk. 📚

🎀 HISTORY 🎀

the yds device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.1. a legend from day one, lowkey. ⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

okay bestie, gather round, the caveats:

  • the game port is not supported. so if you were planning to plug in a joystick, bestie... no. 😭
  • the volume of the OPL part is fixed. fixed fixed. like not adjustable, don't come for her. 🙈
these are real limitations, not a bit — the game port genuinely isn't supported and the OPL volume genuinely can't be changed. keep that in mind before you @ her.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from the Debian crew, dated June 22, 2005, and it's YDS(4) all the way down. mwah, go forth and make beautiful PCI audio 💜✨🌈
