6.1 Introduction
The PCI-6870’s on-board audio interface utilizes Realtek’s ALC201
audio controller to provide two pairs of stereo outputs with indepen-
dent volume controls, a mono output, and multiple stereo and mono
inputs, along with flexible mixing, gain and mute functions.
The PCI-6870’s on-board audio interface also supports the Plug and
Play (PnP) standard and provides PnP configuration for audio, FM,
and MPU-104 logical devices. It is compatible with AC97 version 2.0
voice and music functions. The ESFM synthesizer is registered
compatible with the OPL3 and has extended capabilities. The PCI-6870
CPU card can support AC97 with the aid of an optional audio cable
connected to CN17; this optional cable is P/N 1700160160.
