Running ossxmix will display the CMI8738 mixer +panel. + +Most of the sliders and buttons are self evident. However there +are some options that need explaining: + +Dual Dac: Enabling this button sets the CMPCI device as two +separate output devices with /dev/dsp1 audio going to the front and +/dev/dsp0 going to the rear outputs. Separate audio streams can +be send to the device simultaneously. + +Speaker Mode: The audio can be sent just to the front speakers or +it can be sent simultaneously to all speakers in the "Spread" mode. + +AC3 passthrough only works on Models 037 and higher. This is because of +a hardware bug in the earlier models so check the model number +(ossinfo -a). + +SPDIF: + +o Enable will enable SPDIF output. + +o Rec will allow you to record from the SPDIF device. Note that when +you have SPDIF recording enabled, you cannot play 4/6 channel audio. + +o Polarity - certain models require you to flip the bit otherwise you + get distorted audio. + +o IMon - monitor input via SPDIF in. + +o Optical - sets the SPDIF to Optical (TOSLINK) or RCA Jacks interface. + + + +OPTIONS +None + +FILES +CONFIGFILEPATH/oss_cmpci.conf Device configuration file + +AUTHOR +4Front Technologies + |
