✨ NAME ✨

oss_ymf7xx — the Yamaha DS-XG audio driver. no cap, that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this is the Open Sound System driver for the Yamaha DS-XG YMF724/740/744/754 audio controllers. that's four whole chipsets in one driver, she's versatile like that. 💅

here's the vibe check on what the ymf7xx device can actually do:

• 8/16 bit playback and record 🎧
• mono / stereo / 4 channel playback
• mono / stereo recording
• sample rates from 8KHz all the way up to 48Khz ✨

🎚️ MIXER 🎚️

okay so here's the tea: the Yamaha DSXG models 744 and 754 support SPDIF and AC3 multichannel output. and the Mixer extentions? they let you enable or disable that SPDIF output. so you're literally in control. 🫶

⚙️ CONFIG OPTIONS ⚙️

• yamaha_mpu_ioaddr=<xxx> — the MPU I/O address. for legal values, go check the device conf file (it's down in FILES, keep scrolling bestie 👇).
• yamaha_mpu_irq=<xx> — the MPU IRQ. same deal, the device conf file below has the legal values.
• yamaha_fm_ioaddr=<xxx> — the Yamaha FM Synthesizer IO address. and yep, the driver conf file (again, see below) has the possible values. 🌈

📁 FILES 📁

• /etc/oss4/conf/oss_ymf7xx.conf — the device configuration file. this is the one, she holds the legal values for all those config options up there. 🍓

fr fr, if you're touching those config options, read the conf file first — it's giving "trust me bestie" energy and she means it. 🙈
