# DESCRIPTION

The `opl` driver provides support for the Yamaha OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3 (YMF262) chips. The chips are FM synthesizers and are capable of producing a wide range of sounds.

Access to the device is through the MIDI driver.

The `opl` driver usually attaches to a sound card, but it can also sit directly on the ISA bus.

If “flags 1” is specified, the `opl` driver handles left and right channels of OPL3 swapped. Use this flag if your device has such problem.

# HISTORY

The `opl` device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

# BUGS

The OPL3 chip is operated in OPL2 mode despite being more capable.
