2.3.10 Audio Subsystem

These systems use the integrated High Definition audio controller of the chipset and the ADI AD1884A High Definition audio codec. HD audio provides enhanced audio performance with higher sampling rates, refined signal interfaces, and audio processors with increased signal-to-noise ratio. The audio line input jack can be re-configured as a microphone input, and multi-streaming is supported. These systems include a 1.5-watt output amplifier driving an internal speaker, which can be muted with the F10 BIOS control. All models include front panel-accessible stereo microphone input and headphone output audio jacks.
