oss_trident(7) 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the OSS Devices manual section, and it's all about the oss_trident driver. no cap, it's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

oss_trident — the SiS7018, 4Dwave, ALIM5451 audio driver. that's the whole name, periodt 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically this is the Open Sound System driver for the Trident 4DWave DX/NX, SiS7018 and ALI5451 audio controllers. iconic lineup fr fr 👑

Here's the Trident device characteristics, and bestie I need you to know every single one:

  • 8/16 bit playback/record 🎀
  • mono/stereo playback/recording 🎧
  • 8KHz to 48Khz sample rate. ⭐
  • Upto 8 hardware channels to mixing audio streams — yes, 8, that's 8 whole channels of mixing 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • trident_mpu_ioaddr=<xxx> — sets the MPU I/O address, bestie. and pls pls pls, go check the driver.conf file for the valid addresses before you just type something in there 🙈

😭 LIMITATIONS 😭

listen. this one matters, don't skip it.
  • Due to PCI addressing limitations any add-on cards based on these chips will not work under Sparc. like, they just won't, no cap 💀
  • the only exception is the ALI5451 chip, which is used on the main boards on many Sparc based systems. so if that's you, you're fine 🌈

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/oss4/conf/oss_trident.conf — the device configuration file. that's the one, that's your girl 🍓
