What is DMA structure?
Using interrupts driven device drivers to transfer data to or from hardware devices works well when the amount of data is reasonably low. For example a 9600 baud modem can transfer approximately one character every millisecond ( 'th second). If the interrupt latency, the amount of time that it takes between the hardware device raising the interrupt and the device driver's interrupt handling routine being called, is low (say 2 milliseconds) then the overall system impact of the data transfer is very low. The 9600 baud modem data transfer would only take 0.002% of the CPU's processing time. For high speed devices, such as hard disk controllers or ethernet devices the data transfer rate is a lot higher. A SCSI device can transfer up to 40 Mbytes of information per second. Direct Memory Access, or DMA, was invented to solve this problem. A DMA controller allows devices to transfer data to or from the system's memory without the intervention of the processor. A PC's ISA DMA controller has 8 DMA channels of which 7 are available for use by the device drivers. Each DMA channel has associated with it a 16 bit address register and a 16 bit count register. To initiate a data transfer the device driver sets up the DMA channel's address and count registers together with the direction of the data transfer, read or write. It then tells the device that it may start the DMA when it wishes. When the transfer is complete the device interrupts the PC. Whilst the transfer is taking place the CPU is free to do other things. Device drivers have to be careful when using DMA. First of all the DMA controller knows nothing of virtual memory, it only has access to the physical memory in the system. Therefore the memory that is being DMA'd to or from must be a contiguous block of physical memory. This means that you cannot DMA directly into the virtual address space of a process. You can however lock the processes physical pages into memory, preventing them from being swapped out to the swap device during a DMA operation. Secondly, the DMA controller cannot access the whole of physical memory. The DMA channel's address register represents the first 16 bits of the DMA address, the next 8 bits come from the page register. This means that DMA requests are limited to the bottom 16 Mbytes of memory. DMA channels are scarse resources, there are only 7 of them, and they cannot be shared between device drivers. Just like interrupts the device driver must be able to work out which DMA channel it should use. Like interrupts, some devices have a fixed DMA channel. The floppy device, for example, always uses DMA channel 2. Sometimes the DMA channel for a device can be set by jumpers, a number of ethernet devices use this technique. The more flexible devices can be told (via their CSRs) which DMA channels to use and, in this case, the device driver can simple pick a free DMA channel to use. Linux tracks the usage of the DMA channels using a vector of dma_chan data structures (one per DMA channel). The dma_chan data structure contains just two fields, a pointer to a string describing the owner of the DMA channel and a flag indicating if the DMA channel is allocated or not. It is this vector of dma_chan data structures that is printed when you cat /proc/dma
What is the need of DMA?
DMA, or Direct Memory Access, is a subcontroller that can access memory in sequential order without intervention from the processor. DMA is used to moving around large amounts of data in the computer without taking time away from the processor. The first major uses of DMA included drive controllers and sound cards. Hard drives do not access single bytes of data, but instead an entire "sector" (512 bytes at once). They place this data in a buffer, which then is transferred to system memory. If the CPU had to read each byte and place it in memory, it would waste time that it could be performing other operations. Similarly, sound had to be attended to constantly or it would "stutter" or have "clicks". To make sure that sound ran smoothly, developers would set up a memory to port DMA transfer, and the controller would smoothly feed the sound data into the sound card without requiring the programmer to constantly swap between drawing pixels and playing music or sound effects. DMA is still in use today, and we use it for video, audio, and hard drive data transfers, just as we did back then. The processor is free to perform other tasks while waiting for data to load, for sound to play, or while performing blits to the screen.
How do you connect a laptop to a surround sound?
Audio out or headset out from the laptop to audio IN on the surround unit. The audio level on the laptop might need to be set at MAX to get enough volume for the surround to use properly. To hear a full surround sound signal you will need to have content that is stored in a surround sound format and a sound card that supports multi-channel audio outputs.
While looking around in the bios settings kaitlin set the pio and the dma settings to auto will this affect the system in any way explain?
pio and dma settings will not affect the system in any way.
Which realtek sound card would you use for Intel chip set PIG31T?
Do you actually have a PnP Realtek soundcard? (An added-on, plugged in physical card you have installed into your computer frame) Or are you trying to find the sound card driver? (This seems more logical) If this is the case, there are a variety of Realtek sound devices. You can go to this site, and if all you really need is the driver for your sound card, you will be able to download it free .http://ptf.com/realtek/realtek+sound+card/
You got the expansion card but you cant find the poke flute channel in Pokemon soulsilver?
The PokeFlute Channel is not a pre-set channel. This means that you have to use your stylus. Move the star with your stylus to the top tiny star on your touchscreen. It should say that you are on the PokeFlute channel.
What does a audio spectrum analyzer do?
An audio spectrum analyzer displays all of the frequencies and amplitudes associated with a given sound or set of sounds. This set of amplitudes and frequencies provides an acoustic signature that can be used to identify certain sounds. An Audio spectrum analyzerr is a set of Real-Time Multi-Channel Gauges for investigation of data accepted from any ADC(analog to digital converer) you will want or 16-, 24- and 32-bit ADC of sound card.
How do you send audio from m audio card to HDMI vidio card?
To send audio from an M-Audio sound card to an HDMI video card, you need to configure your computer's audio settings. First, connect both the M-Audio sound card and the HDMI video card to your computer. Then, go to the sound settings in your operating system, select the M-Audio card as the default playback device, and ensure that the HDMI output is set to receive audio. If necessary, you may also need to use audio routing software to direct the sound appropriately.
How do you get a usb sound card working on windows 7?
if the drivers are found and installed and it still does not work simply press the start menu and type in sound it is the one simply called sound click on it and set the sound card to the default device there can be around 10 different audio choices be sure to choose the correct 1
Is ide and dma the same thing?
No, IDE stands for Integrated Drive Electronics A hardware interface widely used to connect hard disks, optical discs and tape drives to a PC. Introduced in 1986 with 20MB of storage, capacities increased a thousandfold in less than two decades. Compared to the SCSI interface, IDE has been the more economical choice. (Direct Memory Access) Specialized circuitry or a dedicated microprocessor that transfers data from memory to memory without using the CPU. Although DMA may periodically steal cycles from the CPU, data are transferred much faster than using the CPU for every byte of transfer. On PCs, there are eight DMA channels commonly used as follows. Most sound cards are set to use DMA channel 1. See PIO mode. DMA Used for 0 8-bit transfer 1 8-bit transfer 2 Floppy disk controller 3 8-bit transfer 4 Cascaded from 0-3 5 16-bit transfer 6 16-bit transfer 7 16-bit transfer DMA Disk Transfers There are various modes of data transfer on IDE disk drives. The PIO modes use the CPU, and the DMA modes bypass the CPU.
