Sound Controller
The sound controller is the Vibra 16C chip from Creative Labs. Integrated onto the system board, the
controller is a complete, full-feature MPC 2.0 compliant sound implementation, providing full Sound
Blaster Pro functionality and compatibility. The sound controller has the following features and
specifications:

The Vibra 16C sound controller is configured entirely through I/O port accesses. When the system is
powered up, the hardware forces the Vibra 16C to respond to default I/O port addresses, interrupt
request (IRQ) level, and direct memory access (DMA) request and acknowledge. The following table
shows the default sound controller configurations and available programmable settings.
Parameter Default Other Available
Base I/O Address / MPU-401 220/330 240/300
8-bit DMA Req / Ack Level 1 3
16-bit DMA Req / Ack Level 5 7
Interrupt Request Level 10 5, 7
The settings above may be changed in AMIBIOS Setup (see “Chipset Setup” in the Setup and
Maintenance Guide, delivered with the system) so the Vibra 16C internal registers respond to custom
settings.
