NOTES

Some laptops (including Sony VAIO, among others), have their on-board
amplifier powered down by default, meaning that audio is suppressed even
if hardware and the audio810 driver are working normally. To correct
this, set the ac97-invert-amp=1 property in the /kernel/drv/audio810.conf
to power-up the amplifier.

DIAGNOSTICS

In addition to being logged, the following messages may appear on the
system console:

play-interrupts too low
record-interrupts too low
The interrupt rate in audio810.conf is set
too low. It has been reset to the rate
specified in the message. Update
audio810.conf to a higher interrupt rate.


play-interrupts too high
record-interrupts too high
The interrupt rate set in audio810.conf is
set too high. It has been reset to the rate
specified in the message. Update
audio810.conf to a lower interrupt rate.
