  sound question.
  Hi all.
  I have a question. How ac97snd generates sound? Througt mpu port? I think rather not, (it offers only 1 byte data width ). I saw sources, but I can't find this. So if not throght mpu port, so how? Other words witch system function suport audio codec. Internal speaker
  Thanks for answer.

There is a sound system called 'infinity.obj'.
This service works with the driver 'sound.obj' (Well, the current sound.obj is not a real driver, instead it's a service which detect available pci sound cards, and loads the actual driver)
