Sound IC Support

The KeyLargo IC has a traditional DAV port that connects to the Screamer sound IC. The KeyLargo IC provides DB-DMA (descriptor-based direct memory access) support for the DAV port.

The Screamer sound IC is an audio codec with added input and output controls. It is a 16-bit device with two analog stereo input channels and two analog stereo output channels. Either stereo pair of input channels can be selected for digitization by the internal A-to-D converter.

For a description of the features of the sound system, see Sound System.
