How to enable CMI 8330 soundchip on Linux
------------------------------------------

Hello folks, 
	
	The CMI8330 soundchip is a very small chip found on many recent 
	motherboards. In order to use it you just have to use a proper 
        isapnp.conf and a little bit of patience. 
	
	Of course you will have to compile kernel sound support as module, 
        as shown below:

CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m
# Just for fun :)
CONFIG_SOUND_MSS=m

	The /etc/isapnp.conf file will be:

(ACT Y)
))

	The module sequence is trivial:

/sbin/modprobe sound
# You need to load the ad1848 module first. That matters, otherwise the 
# chip falls into soundblaster compatibility and you won't get it back out
/sbin/insmod ad1848 io=0x530 dma=0 irq=5 soundpro=1
/sbin/insmod uart401
/sbin/insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=-1
/sbin/insmod mpu401 io=0x330
/sbin/insmod opl3 io=0x388

	The soundchip is now fully initialized. Enjoy it.
