4.1Introduction
The POC-S196's onboard audio interface provides high-quality stereo sound by using the ALC888 audio controller from Realtek. The ALC888 series are high perfor- mance 7.1+2 channel High Definition Audio Codecs providing ten DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1 sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs.
