Audio Subsystem

The VIG390S motherboard provides a Flex 6 audio subsystem based on the High Definition Audio subsystem using the ADI AD1980 6 channel audio codec.

The audio subsystem supports the following features:

Advanced jack sense with Auto Topology Switching that enables the audio codec to recognise what device is connected to an audio port and alerts the user if the wrong type of device has been connected.

Split digital/analog architecture for improved S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio: > 94 dB

The Flex 6 audio subsystem includes the following features:

Intel 82801EB I/O Controller Hub (ICH5)

Analog Devices AD1980 audio codec

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

The subsystem has the following connectors:

ATAPI-style CDROM connector

Front panel audio connector, including pins for:

oLine In o Mic in

Audio 2/4/6 Channel configurations

The audio ports may be re configured via the audio control panel, default operation is 2 channel audio.
