 Documentation for the AD1816(A) sound driver
 ============================================
 
-NOTE: This driver is still EXPERIMENTAL, so don't use it on production
-systems!
-
-
 Installation:
 -------------
 
-To get your AD1816(A) based sound card work, you'll have to enable
-module support ("Enable loadable module support") and support for
-experimental code ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete
-code/drivers") during kernel configuration. Enable "Sound card
-support", "OSS modules support" and "Support for AD1816(A) based cards
-(EXPERIMENTAL)" in the sound configuration menu, too. Be sure, that
-you build "Support for AD1816(A) based cards (EXPERIMENTAL)" as a MODULE,
-otherwise you may run into problems later.
-Now build, install and reboot the new kernel as usual.
-
-Since the AD1816(A) is a P'n'P sound chip you'll usually have to
-configure it using the isapnptools. See isapnptools documentation for
-details on configuring P'n'P cards.
-
-After you have successfully configured the card using isapnp, you may
-load the AD1816 driver using modprobe. A typical modprobe call should
-look like this:
-
-  modprobe ad1816 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3 ad1816_clockfreq=33000
-
-if your isapnp.conf file looks like this (relevant lines only):
-
- (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
- (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
- (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 3))
- (IO 0 (BASE 0x0220))
- (IO 1 (BASE 0x0388))
- (IO 2 (BASE 0x0530))
-
-NOTE: Be sure, that you use the address IO 2 (in our example 0x530) when
-loading the module!
-
-If your setup was correct, you should see the following messages in  
-/var/log/messages (numbers may be different):
-
-Nov  6 17:07:26 tek01 kernel: ad1816_detect(530)
-Nov  6 17:07:26 tek01 kernel: ad1816_detect() - Detected OK
-Nov  6 17:07:26 tek01 kernel: AD1816 Version: 3
-
+To get your AD1816(A) based sound card work, you'll have to enable support for
+experimental code ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers")

+"Sound card support", "OSS modules support" and "Support for AD1816(A) based

 First of all you should check, if the driver has been loaded

 If loading of the driver succeeds, but playback/capture fails, check
 if you used the correct values for irq, dma and dma2 when loading the module.
