# audio.device — DMA Audio Channels
## Overview
`audio.device` provides access to the Amiga's 4 DMA audio channels. Each channel plays 8-bit PCM samples from Chip RAM at programmable rates.
---
## Channel Allocation
```c
UBYTE allocationMap[] = { 1, 2, 4, 8 }; /* channel masks */
struct IOAudio *aio = (struct IOAudio *)
CreateIORequest(port, sizeof(struct IOAudio));
aio->ioa_Request.io_Message.mn_Node.ln_Pri = 0;
aio->ioa_Data = allocationMap;
aio->ioa_Length = sizeof(allocationMap);
OpenDevice("audio.device", 0, (struct IORequest *)aio, 0);
/* aio->ioa_AllocKey = allocation key for this channel */
```
---
## Playing a Sample
```c
aio->ioa_Request.io_Command = CMD_WRITE;
aio->ioa_Request.io_Flags = ADIOF_PERVOL;
aio->ioa_Data = sampleData; /* MUST be in Chip RAM */
aio->ioa_Length = sampleLength; /* in bytes */
aio->ioa_Period = 428; /* ~8287 Hz (PAL) */
aio->ioa_Volume = 64; /* 064 */
aio->ioa_Cycles = 1; /* 0 = loop forever */
BeginIO((struct IORequest *)aio);
```
### Period Calculation
```
Period = clock_constant / desired_frequency
PAL: clock = 3546895 Hz → Period = 3546895 / freq
NTSC: clock = 3579545 Hz → Period = 3579545 / freq
```
| Frequency | Period (PAL) |
|---|---|
| 8287 Hz | 428 |
| 11025 Hz | 322 |
| 22050 Hz | 161 |
| 28867 Hz | 124 (minimum safe) |

## Channel Registers
| Channel | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | `$DFF0A0` | AUD0 (left) |
| 1 | `$DFF0B0` | AUD1 (right) |
| 2 | `$DFF0C0` | AUD2 (right) |
| 3 | `$DFF0D0` | AUD3 (left) |
Each channel: pointer (PTH/PTL), length (LEN), period (PER), volume (VOL).
