+.Sh NAME
+.Nm snd_maestro3
+.Nd "ESS Maestro3/Allegro-1 bridge device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device sound"
+.Cd "device snd_maestro3"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
+following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+snd_maestro3_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the ESS Maestro3 and Allegro-1 sound chips
+under the PCM framework.
+These chips are mostly found in laptop computers and feature an AC97 mixer,
+a multi-channel sample rate converter that can mix up to four digital audio
+streams in hardware, recording support, and external volume control buttons.
+.Pp
+The firmware for the sound processor is licensed under the GNU Public
+License, and thus this driver is not included in the default
+.Pa GENERIC
+kernel.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following audio devices:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+ESS Technology Allegro-1
+.It
+ESS Technology Maestro3
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+The hardware volume control buttons can be connected to two different pin
+sets (GPIO or GD) on the chip, depending on the manufacturer.
+The driver has no way of determining this configuration, so a hint may be
+used to override the default guess.
+The default setting for hardware volume control assumes that GD pins
+are wired to control the hardware volume.
+For systems that have the GPIO pins wired to the hardware volume control
+buttons, add the line
+.Dq Li hint.pcm.0.hwvol_config="0"
+to the file
+.Pa /boot/device.hints
+to override the default setting.

+.Xr loader.conf 5
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 4.3 .
