NAME

     auich -- Intel I/O Controller Hub integrated AC'97 audio device driver


SYNOPSIS

     auich* at pci? dev ? function ?
     audio* at audiobus?


DESCRIPTION

     The auich device driver supports the integrated AC'97 audio controller of
     the Intel I/O Controller Hub.  Supported chipsets include the i82801AA
     (ICH), i82801AB (ICH0), i82801BA (ICH2), i82440MX, i82801CA (ICH3),
     i82801DB (ICH4), i82801EB (ICH5), i82801FB (ICH6), i82801GB/GR (ICH7),
     and Intel 6300ESB.  The driver also supports SiS 7012, nForce MCP,
     nForce2 MCP-T, nForce3 MCP-T, nForce3 250 MCP-T, nForce4, and AMD 8111.

     The driver provides the following sysctl(8) read/write variable (when
     hardware support is available):

     hw.auich0.ac97rate
             Link rate of the device in Hz.  The driver automatically measures
             and calculates the correct rate so you usually don't need to
             change this.  There is, however, a chance that the driver miscal-
             culates the rate especially on an emulated hardware, resulting in
             an incorrect playback pitch.  When this happens you need to manu-
             ally set this variable to the correct value.  Try 48000 if you
             don't know the correct value as it is the default link rate.
