I went out looking for information - being from Intel - SURELY it's documented, and such information is publicly available.... I've found a plethora of information - but everything about the design of the ac97 spec indicates one register set, one set of dmas ... one could interpret one portion... there's 256 ranges of base registers one can select - but then you'd have a full set of mixing registers etc - just totally impracticle :/ and therefore 256*3 dma units ... which isn't all that much memory bandwidth at 256*44.1khz*16*2 is only 45MB/sec ... less than a hard disk... and I don't understand the PCI interface entirely.... but then I did go back to nVidia's page on the nForce chip informative links regarding the ac '97 chip aka i810 audio controller... http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/manuals/298028.htm slightly different information... http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/manuals/298238.htm directory containing ac97 specs... ftp://download.intel.com/labs/media/audio/download/ page detailing statuses etc (links for download are broken see prior link) http://www.intel.com/labs/media/audio/index.htm > > The ones that I know work are the trident, the es1968 (maestro), the > interwave.
