Can someone verify support for "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" ?

[ramkromberg]

Hello alsa devs,
I have an old "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R
Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" which I know to work on windows 2000
natively and on other windows using drivers from
http://www.aztech.com/support_download_soundcard01.html, however, I was
unsuccessful in using it in linux ( I tried many dists, but my most
recent failure was with xubuntu 7.04 which have the most recent alsa).
I believe the card is unsupported in alsa and I was hoping someone might
be free to help me with this legacy card ?
Since the card is unsupported I figured this should go the devs.

* Their is this piece of code which might be relevant:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/sound/isa/azt2320.c

 21     This driver should provide support for most Aztech AZT2320 based
cards.
 22     Several AZT2316 chips are also supported/tested, but autoprobe
doesn't
 23     work: all module option have to be set.

* I'm unsure of what it means to configure manually or how to do so...
I do however have the card working currently with windows 2000 so if its
a question of IRQ and DMA, I can find those with relative ease.

* I obviously tried modprobeing the snd-sgalaxy driver/module, with no
success - possibly related ?

Thanks

I have a few similar cards. Also a "Nova 16 Extra" in fact, but that one an 
older AZT1605 based version (I38-MMSN811). My closest match is probably a 
"Sound Galaxy Waverider Pro 32-3D" (I38-MMSN811852) which is a AZT2316R + 
CS4231 (+ an AZT3321 wavetable). Have a number of AZT2316A cards as well.

It's at least "unsupported" in the sense that noone is supporting it yes :-)

As you have noticed, snd-sgalaxy will not work for this card. "sgalaxy" is 
actually a really unfortunate name for that driver as Aztech named _all_ 
their cards "Sound Galaxy" and snd-sgalaxy only drives the couple with a 
AZT1605 chip on them. The module should preferably be renamed.

As you also found out, snd-azt2320 will not work as is as that's an ISA-PnP 
only driver and the AZT2316A/R is legacy ISA. The drivers are not more than 
shells around the cs4231 library though and can be made to work with 
relative ease. I was actually working on snd-sgalaxy a while ago and briefly 
looked at my azt2316 cards as well but a few other things intervened again.

Let's first see if your card is as expected. It should have a "JMPB0" on it 
somewhere that you can use to choose between 0x22x and 0x24x as the base 
address. Look which one it's using (the windows driver will also tell). 
Then, there should be a "JMPCFG" jumper on the card somewhere where 1-2 
means "use EEPROM settings" and 2-3 "use software settings". For use in 
Linux, you should (at least for now) set it to EEPROM so that the card will 
enable itself and not wait for the driver to do so.

If you have that done, you should already be able to use it in it's basic 
Soundblaster Pro mode. Try loading snd-sb8 with:

	modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

This is not unlikely to work (change 0x220 to 0x240 if the jumper is set to 
the other one ofcourse). If it's giving you a load "hum" on the speakers 
immediately after loading use the DOS mixer application to mute all and save 
to the EEPROM.

I can help with getting the rest to work (where "the rest" is the MIDI port 
and the cs4231 codec which it offers instead of the sb8 mode as well) in a 
few weeks time, but maybe you won't even care greatly -- it's "instead of" 
and while the cs4231 is in principle the better chip these days it's all 
water under the bridge; they're _both_ old crap. But yes, I'll also want my 
2316A/R cards supported again so if you have a while, I'll get to it...

Rene.

Actually, snd-sgalaxy doesn't work for the AZT2316A cards that I've tried it 
with (two different types) but it _does_ in fact work for my AZT2316R based 
"Sound Galaxy Waverider Pro 32-3D" (I38-MMSN852) that is a very close match 
to your "Nova 16 Extra II-3D" (I38-MMSN846).

Please first make sure the EEPROM on the card contains sensible values for 
which you'll unfortunately need the DOS utilities (once). They can be had from:

ftp://ftp.aztech.com/download/sg/NOV16EII

After installation, C:\FOO\UTILITY\ contains CONFIG.EXE, HWSET.EXE, 
VOLSET.EXE, DIAGNOSE.EXE, ...

Running "HWSET /MR /MS" (and "VOLSET /MR /MS") will restore factory default 
values to the EEPROM which means SB = 0x220, irq 5, dma 1 and WSS = 0x530.

The DOS utilities use IRQ 10 as the WSS IRQ but that one didn't work under 
Linux for me. Too many possible reasons why not though, so try it. The WSS 
part can be configured on IRQ 7, 9, 10 and 11 and 7 worked for me. Make sure 
you also set your BIOS to reserve this IRQ and the SB IRQ and DMA (which the 
WSS part shares) for "legacy ISA".

When you've done that (or they were sensible to start with) you should both 
be able to load snd-sb8 as adviced in the previous message:

	modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

and snd-sgalaxy for access to the WSS part:

	modprobe snd-sgalaxy sbport=0x220 wssport=0x530

The sgalaxy driver will grab IRQ7 when it's free.

But...

Before I noticed that sgalaxy would in fact work on my 2316R I had already 
done most of a new "azt2316" driver. Filling in the hardware details showed 
that sgalaxy actually worked for the 2316R (again, not for my 2316A cards).

snd-sgalaxy is not a nice driver so I did complete it and renamed it to 
snd-azt1605. It's attached as a patch against kernel 2.6.21. If you don't 
know what that means or what to do with it, never mind, both sb8 and sgalaxy 
should as said also work.

The attached driver is a bit better in so far that it keeps the SB part 
reserved after switching to WSS (we don't want anyone resetting our bus 
interface out from under us while we're happily playing MP3s), provides 
access to the onboard MPU-401 (MIDI port) and OPL3 (FM synthesis chip) and 
allows to tell the driver where you want the wss_irq yourself. If you want 
to try it out, it should be loaded as:

	modprobe snd-azt1605 port=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 wss_port=0x530 wss_irq=7

Also specify mpu_port=0x330 (and possibly mpu_irq=9) and fm_port=0x388 if 
you want MPU-401 and OPL3 enabled.

It's been only quickly tested on AZT1605 and AZT2316R and I'm not submitting 
this or anything. AZT2316A not working is probably something small but it's 
going to need trial & error and/or poking around in the DOS utilities and I 
don't have time for either at the moment.

It does show promise for eventually having one unified snd-galaxy driver (I 
hate that s!) with AZT2320 folded back in as well...

Hope this helps.

Rene.

Re: Can someone verify support for "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" ?

[ramkromberg]

I already installed dos + the drivers and ubuntu, So I'll try working
with that.
As far as I can tell from the win95 driver name, the "AzTech Sound Galaxy
Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" is
full-duplex : In :
http://www.aztech.com/support_download_soundcard01.html :
2316FD95.ZIP 90,526  Windows 95 Full Duplex Audio Driver Version 4.8.0
Build 1128

I will try working with the software first, then probably either the
epprom or the jumper (since I have dos + drivers working I'm tempted to
try the epprom first ;-) )

I can't at the moment compile in that machine (My poor little xubuntu is
barely working as it is, I don't even dare installing samba let alone a
dev-env of any sorts..., maybe when I'll get everything working I'll
install slackware, I decided gentoo is not a good idea ;-) ) so I won't
be testing your drivers any time soon :-( , I do however hope you'll
submit your drivers cause a non PnP driver can't hurt and waiting for
confirms on such old hw will be point-less...

When I'll have results I'll let you know...

Also, I'm CCing the mailing list now as pair request...

Well, it didn't take long so here's the results :
"sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1" gave no errors, and
"lsmod" later gave:

But when I try to play an ogg gxine crushes an xmms
ignores, when trying an mp3 gxine again crushes and
xmms gives the soundcard no configured error...

Just a recap: I verifyed using dos the settings
(hwset and volset - default and save), and used the bios
to set "IRQ 5" as "ISA Legacy".

I didn't use the jumper as I see no need since the epprom
already does the job.

So I'm stuck,
What do you think I should do now ?

I don't understand what you mean here. You need to set the JMPCFG jumper to 
the EEPROM setting so that the card will configure itself at poweron using 
the values stored in its EEPROM and not wait for a driver to configure and 
enable it (which the Linux driver does not do).

Re: Can someone verify support for "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" ?

[ramkromberg]

o, I thought the epprom settings are default until the
driver kicks in...

So I set the jumpers accordingly and still no luck:
IDESEL: 1-2 (Disabled - Its the CD IDE ON\OFF)
JMPCFG: 1-2 (EPPROM ON)
JMPB0: 1-2 (22XH)
IDEIRQ: 1 (IRQ 15 - shouldn't make a different)
JX1: 2-3 (Carbon MIC - again just letting you know though it shouldn't
make a different)

This should make sense with the picture I sent earlier...
I also removed another card I had connected - ISA Modem, Just making sure
their are no conflicts...

Here's the grim results:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such
device

P.S: Also an interesting note is that I now installed Win98 on top of
that Dos and it worked too -
It did also mention to use IRQ 11 so I also reserved in the bios, but
again to no avail.

Maybe I'm missing something ?

Only if you set the JMPCFG jumper to EEPROM; otherwise the card's just dead 
in the water until software enables it (by writing to some specific I/O 
port; not sure which).

Okay, that's unfortunate. It works fine here with my AZT2316R and AZT1605 cards.

1. Did you restore the default settings to the EEPROM with "HWSET /MR /MS"?

If an "EEPROM.SYS" is being loaded from your CONFIG.SYS in the DOS setup 
also try that HWSET after rebooting with that line commented out. maybe it's 
interfering (EEPROM.SYS is the "software" that takes on the role of the 
physical EEPROM when you have the JMPCFG jumper set to "software").

2. What do the last few lines of "dmesg" say after the modprobe?

3. Both my AZT2316A cards actually needed the JMPCFG jumper set to the 
"software" setting to even have the DSP show up at 0x220 which seems like it 
just might be a strange fluke. But if it really won't work, try the HWSET 
and loading of the snd-sb8 driver also with the JMPCFG jumper switched again...

Don't seem to have more bright ideas...

Rene.

EPPROM ON:

OK, I formated that dos partition and simply sys a: c:,
then I installed the driver (copying them to the partition from the linux
install),
in theinstall I selected the defaults settings (220 irq5 dma1...) and
rebooted,
now in dos again I used diagnose to test the audio and hwset /mr /ms to
reset and save the epprom.

now I rebooted and loged to linux:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such
device

dmesg last lines (
[  319.827327] Sound Blaster soundcard not found or device busy

-reboot-

EPPROM OFF (SOFTWARE ON):

in dos: diagnose works,
reboot and back to lin: sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

no error, no mention in dmesg, but xmms gives the usual error...

Heres lsmod just for kicks:

So now atleast we know its not the jumpers ;-)
Is their the slight chance xmms is the problem ? gxine crushs too...
Is their something like "beep" only for the sound card ?
Maybe droping some data to /dev/### to produce a beep ?

   Also check what /proc/asound/cards says and check dmesg again after
trying to use the card.

Since the only successful modprobe is done with the jumper on SOFTWARE
instead of EPPROM, I'll only tested the following:

Jumper: Software:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
without an error,
dmesg - gives no hint, verbose, mention...

cat /proc/asound/cards:
 0 [Pro            ]: SB Pro - Sound Blaster Pro
Sound Blaster Pro at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1

So I did the following:
cd /proc/asound/
cat *

cat: Pro: Is a directory
cat: card0: Is a directory

Hang on a bit guys, I now understand the problem. Will have something for 
Ram to test in a bit.

Yep. The DSP is there but the IRQ isn't firing.

I now understand what the difference between our boards is; we both have a 
jumper that can be set to EEPROM, but only I actually have an EEPROM...

It's amazing the things some manufacturers choose to save a penny on but 
both your and my (formerly) non-working AZT2316A boards do not have an 
actual EEPROM. It should be on that spot marked UX2 close to the clock (the 
shiny metal thing in the lower left corner).

This also means your board is simply not supported by any driver currently 
available in the tree. The driver needs to "play EEPROM" and upload the 
configuration values to the AZT2316 before the card will work and current 
drivers don't do this (under DOS, it's the job of that EEPROM.SYS DOS device 
driver that's executed from CONFIG.SYS).

Attached is a new snd-galaxy driver that _does_  do the enabling. It's not 
final yet, but works nicely for my EEPROM-less boards. It took quite a bit 
of grovveling around but it's completely documented now.

I want to test it with more cards first, with and without EEPROMS and with 
the JMPCFG jumper set to either position, need to figure out full-duplex on 
cards with a CS4231 (as opposed to a half-duplex CS4248), want to see if 
there are any cards among them that allow _both_ the SB and the WSS part to 
be active, and will finally merge in snd-azt2320 as well for one unified 
snd-galaxy driver.

Thought I'd post it now though. You already said you can't compile new 
drivers for that machine anyhow so consider this just for educational 
purposes. In the next message I'll post a small userspace program to do the 
enabling from userspace so that you can use that for now and then just use 
either snd-sb8 or snd-sgalaxy to drive the card.

Rene.

As said. If you execute this as root it should enable the card. You can pick 
the base address (the one JMPB0 is set to) with "-p 0x220|0x240". Default is 
0x200 if you don't specify one.

You can supply a configuration value yourself; you'd want the same value as 
the parameter to EEPROM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS under your DOS install. However, 
if you do not supply a a value the card will just be enabled using a default 
value (same default value DOS uses) and this should work fine assuming you 
have those default resources free/reserved.

so:

sudo ./eeprom
sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

or

sudo ./eeprom
sudo modprobe snd-sgalaxy sbport=0x220 wssport=0x530

Once you have the card set to wss mode (ie, have loaded snd-sgalaxy) you 
can't unload snd-sgalaxy again and start using snd-sb8; the card would have 
to be reset to SB mode first again.

After that sudo ./eeprom, the drivers should not only load but in fact work. 
Remember to increase/unmute the volumes in a mixer...

The program needs to talk to I/O ports and therefore needs root priviliges. 
It's generally a fairly bad idea to run root programs you haven't compiled 
yourself, but if compiling this userspace program is also a problem for you 
currently, there's a binary at:

http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/eeprom

was compiled on slackware 11.0, staticly linked.

If this still doesn't work you... I'm going to be sad.

You did it Rene !!!

It's working now !!
I downloaded the binary (i didn't compile the code), chmod it, sudo it
and the sgalaxy worked !!!
the sb8 didn't work but I don't really care for that anyhow :-)

For the record, I tested it on xubuntu 7.04 with xmms.

Are you now planning to implement the code to the driver itself ?
If you want me to test anything, let me know.

i'm also considering installing slackware 11 since I need the
preformance...

   Like you said yourself, there are a lot of different Sound Galaxy cards,
not all of which are CS42xx compatible. Perhaps be a bit more specific as to
which ones are expected to work (or not work) with the driver.

Great. Thanks for testing/reporting.

Mmm. That was probably then since the card was already in WSS mode. If you'd 
boot straight into Linux (from a hardware reset/machine off state certainly) 
and run that "eeprom" tool as the first thing you do, then:

	modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dm8=1

should work. If not, I have some further figuring to do. I did figure out 
how to switch the card back to SB mode from WSS mode already, but am seeing 
some trouble with where (and how often...) to reset the DSP to have it back 
again after that.

Yes, this will find it's way into an ALSA driver shortly. Since I'm seeing 
some trouble again with putting the card back in SB mode from WSS mode I'm 
giving it a bit of a rest for now while I continue the things I actually 
_should_ have been doing right now (...) but I will make sure a new driver 
gets submitted that supports our EEPROM-less Sound Galaxies...

0x220.

Probably not. The oldest Sound Galaxy I have is a NX Pro 16 (I38-MMSN803) 
and I haven't yet tested on that either. That one does have an EEPROM but 
the jumper doesn't select between EEPROM and software but between EEPROM and 
  "factory setting" which probably implies it's not software configurable.

(other than by writing to the EEPROM and rebooting the card with the jumper 
set to EEPROM; writing to the EEPROM is yet another fun little project for a 
future HWDEP interface in the driver but it's not an important feature).

Does your NX Pro have an EEPROM? It should be a small 8-pin chip marked with 
something close to "X24C00", near a clock chip and probably near an Intel 
8051 microcontroller. And does it have a jumper that sounds like it has 
anything to do with things?

0 and !0 are as standards compliant... :-)

It's starting to look like I'll be able to support all sound galaxies with 
this one driver (pnp provides for a different set of entry points so merging 
azt2320 is also not going to be a problem) where only the very, very first 
(including your NX pro) would only allow SBB mode. Yes, it then makes more 
sense to just use snd-sb8, but hey...

My I38-MMSN803 already includes an AD1848 (AZT-NXPMIX0592 and AZTSSPT0592 as 
the other chips) and I know it drives AZT1605, AZT2316A and AZT2316R...

If it's "all Sound Galaxies except maybe some of the very first 8-bit cards" 
then I feel snd-galaxy is an okay name (snd-aztech isn't, since aztech has 
since then also made PCI cards) but yes, I need to do some further testing 
and probing on different cards before it's final.

 Yes, its like you said Rene, sb8 works although the sound is distorted
and the module can't be removed...
Later I can modprobe sgalaxy too, and the sound works without a hitch.

Also since now I can compile some code - your "eeprom.c" compiles and
works - I'm available for further testing...
I also noticed that the binary you sent was 506kb while my compilation is
9kb, maybe you sent an early/later version with some additional includes
for verbose ?
I compiled it with "gcc -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c" like you said (on my
xubuntu 7.04 with build-essentials deb package installed).

Okay, don't know what the trouble is with that distortion (if you haven't 
set the volumes to 100, that is) but not too important right now.

I might want you to test some mode-resetting code later; will be sure to ask 
if needed.

Now try it with "gcc -static -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c". I compiled the 
binary I provided with that "-static" flag which means the program includes 
all library code directly inside the binary and doesn't link to the library 
code you already have on your system.

I did this to avoid any version problems that may exist between different 
distributions. Essentially you're only guaranteed that a dynamic executable 
will work on the system on which it was compiled (rather, on a system with 
the same versions of the libraries installed as on the system on which it 
was compiled). In this case the program only links to the system C library 
and did nothing weird so it wasn't much of an issue, but I don't even want 
to deal with any _possible_ problems of that nature...

Yes, with a normal (ie, dynamic) link that 9k is correct.

   I've found the X24C00 chip, a 12 MHz crystal or oscilator (I'm not sure
which) and an Intel S-80C51FANM chip. The uncommented jumpers J1 and J2 are
my best bet, although they are connected to the AZTSSPT0592 chip.

Right, so you also have that one. Also the AZT-NXPMIX0592? If so, then your 
NX Pro is just my NX Pro 16 minus the AD1848 codec it seems.

If J1 and J2 are connected to pin 17 and 18 at the top (the side which is 
"up" when you can read the markings) of the AZTSSPT0592 then those will be 
my J4/J5. Also unmarked, but I have the booklet!

If they're the same, then you should have a "virtual parallel port" at 0x278 
when they're closed for "Disney Sound Source" compatibility.

If I find out this NX Pro 16 is software configurable, I'll send you test 
code for your NX Pro...
