AC'97 ( Audio Codec '97; also MC'97 for Modem Codec '97) is an audio codec standard developed by Intel Architecture Labs and various codec manufacturers in 1997. The standard was used in motherboards, modems, and sound cards . The specification covers two types of components, and the AC-Link digital interface between them: an AC'97 digital ...
The Intel High Definition Audio specification includes the following features: [ 2] Up to 15 input and 15 output streams. Up to 16 PCM audio channels per stream. Sample resolutions of 8–32 bits. Sample rates of 6–192 kHz. Support for audio codecs (e.g., ADC, DAC ), modem codecs, and vendor-defined codecs. Discoverable codec architecture.
HD Audio support in the 1xx3 improved through the chipset's life with several revisions. The DD and CC versions of the chipset both added full 7.1 HD-audio support to the chipset. The 1073 players all built on a common SDK (firmware+OS) provided by Realtek. This meant that they were all essentially similar in performance and interface.
All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Hyper-Threading. Models Z520, Z520PT, Z530, Z530P, Z540, Z550 and Z560 support Intel VT-x. Model Z515 supports Intel Burst Performance Technology. Uses the Poulsbo chipset.
API. Audio Stream Input/Output ( ASIO) is a computer sound card driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing a low- latency and high fidelity interface between a software application and a computer's sound card. Whereas Microsoft 's DirectSound is commonly used as an intermediary signal path for non-professional users ...
Windows Vista builds on the Universal Audio Architecture, a new class driver definition that aims to reduce the need for third-party drivers, and to increase the overall stability and reliability of audio in Windows. Support for Intel High Definition Audio devices (which replaces Intel's previous AC'97 audio hardware standard)
Sound Blaster Live! logo. Sound Blaster Live! is a PCI add-on sound card from Creative Technology Limited for PCs. Moving from ISA to PCI allowed the card to dispense with onboard memory, storing digital samples in the computer's main memory and then accessing them in real time over the bus. This allowed for a much wider selection of, and ...
VIA chipsets support CPUs from Intel, AMD (e.g. the Athlon 64) and VIA themselves (e.g. the VIA C3 or C7).They support CPUs as old as the i386 in the early 1990s. In the early 2000s, their chipsets began to offer on-chip graphics support from VIA's joint venture with S3 Graphics beginning in 2001; this support continued into the early 2010s, with the release of the VX11H in August 2012.
