# oss\_sbpci(7)

Creative Labs ES1371 audio driver.

## NAME

**oss\_sbpci** - Creative Labs ES1371 audio driver.

## DESCRIPTION

**Open Sound System driver for Creative Labs ES1371/ES1373/5880, Ectiva 1938**  **audio controllers.**

**APCI97 device characteristics:**

- •

  **8/16 bit playback/record**

- •

  **mono/stereo playback/recording**

- •

  **8KHz to 48Khz sample rate**

**APCI97 MIXER EXTENSIONS**

**Dual Dac mode: This feature turns the APCI97 into two output devices with** **the output going to front and rear speakers independantly (however volume** **control is global).**

**Speaker Mode: This feature allows you to either have the audio coming out** **the front speakers or you can have audio duplicated on rear speakers. This** **mode is disabled when Dual Dac mode is enabled.**

**SPDIF: This button enables or disables SPDIF output.**

## OPTIONS

- •

  **apci97\_latency=\<NNN\>** **Certain models of the ES1371 sound devices will sound distorted playing stereo** **audio and setting the PCI latency fixes the problem**

- •

  **apci\_spdif=0\|1** **Certain models like the SB 4.1D/SB PCI128D have SPDIF output jacks and**  **this setting enables the output device.**
