Advanced jack sense (front and rear panel) that enables the audio codec to recognize the device
that is connected to an audio port. All jacks are capable of retasking according to user’s
definition, or can be automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.
•
Stereo input and output for all jacks
•
A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB

INTEGRATOR’S NOTE

card that is designed for Intel High Definition Audio must be used. Otherwise, an AC ’97 style
audio front panel connector will be assumed and the Line Out and Mic In functions will be
permanent.
