1.8 Audio Subsystem

The board supports the Intel High Definition audio subsystem based on the Realtek ALC880 audio

codec.

The audio subsystem supports the following features:

•

Advanced jack sense (front and rear panel) that enables the audio codec to recognize the device

that is connected to an audio port.

All jacks are capable of retasking according to user’s

definition, or can be automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.

•

Stereo input and output for all jacks

•

A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB

INTEGRATOR’S NOTE

For the front panel jack sensing and automatic retasking feature to function, a front panel daughter

card that is designed for Intel High Definition Audio must be used.

Otherwise, an AC ’97 style

audio front panel connector will be assumed and the Line Out and Mic In functions will be

permanent.

1.8.1

Audio Subsystem Software

Audio software and drivers are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site.

For information about

Refer to

Obtaining audio software and drivers

Section 1.2, page 15

1.8.2

Audio Connectors

The board contains audio connectors on both the back panel and the component side of the board.

The front panel audio connector (a 2 x 5-pin connector that provides mic in and line out signals for

front panel audio connectors) is located on the component side of the board.

1.8.3

8-Channel (7.1) Audio Subsystem

The 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem includes the following:

•

Intel 82801FR I/O Controller Hub (ICH6-R)

•

Realtek ALC880 audio codec

•

Microphone input that supports a single dynamic, condenser, or electret microphone

The front and back panel audio connectors are configurable through the audio device drivers.

The

available configurable audio ports are shown in Figure 9.
