40.Sh NAME
41.Nm neo
42.Nd NeoMagic MagicMedia 256 audio device driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "neo*   at pci? dev ? function ?"
45.Cd "audio* at neo?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for the NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV and 256ZX
50AC'97 audio devices, found on many laptops.
51.Pp
52The MagicMedia 256AV also comes in a variant (usually found on Dell
53and HP laptops) that works in Windows Sound System emulation mode,
54not in AC'97 mode.  That variant of the chip must be used with the
55.Xr wss 4
56driver.  The
57.Nm
58driver will not attach to such chips.

61.Xr intro 4 ,
62.Xr midi 4 ,
63.Xr pci 4 ,
64.Xr wss 4
65.Sh HISTORY
66The
67.Nm
68device driver appeared in
69.Nx 1.5.1 .
70.Sh BUGS
71The MagicMedia 256 series is not well-documented.
72.Pp
73No MIDI or FM synthesizer capability is provided with the MagicMedia 256
74in AC'97 mode.  While those capabilities are provided by the Windows driver
75for the chip, they are emulated by the Windows driver, and not directly
76supported by the hardware.
