# NAME

`arcofi` — Siemens PSB2160 audio codec

# SYNOPSIS

`arcofi* at dio?`
`audio* at audiobus?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `arcofi` driver supports the HP “Audio1” audio devices, based upon the Siemens PSB2160 “ARCOFI” codec, to implement the audio device interface described in audio(4).

This device is found onboard HP 9000 workstations models 425e, 705 and 710.

The `arcofi` is limited to a phone-quality mono, 8000 Hz sound.

## AUDIOCTL SETTINGS

The following encodings are supported:

`AUDIO_ENCODING_ULAW`
`AUDIO_ENCODING_ALAW`
`AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR_BE`
  Natively supported.

`AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR`
`AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR_LE`
`AUDIO_ENCODING_ULINEAR_LE`
`AUDIO_ENCODING_ULINEAR_BE`
  Software converted to `AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR_BE` encoding.

## MIXERCTL SETTINGS

The `arcofi` has three audio ports:

`inputs.line`
  The ‘line in’ jack connector.
`outputs.line`
  The ‘line out’ jack connector.
`outputs.speaker`
  The built-in speaker.

Each port has a volume control, and can be muted.

The `outputs.line` and `outputs.speaker` volume settings are tied to the same hardware setting.
