It's a good addition to realteks Onboard Audio solution. New Feature for those using Stereo/2channel/Headphones. Lacking Digital (fiber/Coax)capabilities compared to the ALC889a Probably one of the best Analog only Quality onboard audio chip at present. Latest drivers from install and work perfectly. Now i would expect that realtek will have a higherend 1200 series chip that includes a number of digital as well as analog bonuses such as Dolby Digital LIVE! or other such features. If you looking for better features, The ALC889a chipset is still probably a bit better, but the quality won't be quite as good as the 1200 here. Course it's all personal preference as well.Īside from that, that's about it. Definitely a plus for those using stereo only or headphones for that matter. From my initial tests, it does alot better then the mostly "matrixed" or Virtual Surround sound i've heard previously on the other older realtek chipsets as well as other competeing onboard and add in cards. However it doesn't have Anything Surround sound related in the digital area, or Dolby Digital LIVE! or DTS Connect for that matter, it DOES however include:įrom what it states, it allows anyone using a Stereo only set of speakers or headphones to produce a better then average surround sound. Even thought it doesn't show it as supported, it installed fine and actually did provide the proper driver update and fully fuctional Realtek Manager gui.įor features, it's pretty much identical to that of a ALC882/883/888 series realtek chipset, From what i can gather on it though, the chip is superiorer in it's quality aspects, a considerable improvement. While initial i tried the drivers (updated version off asus's own support center right off the bat), I ended up downloading the latest realtek HD codec driver set for vista 圆4. So i decided to get a motherboard down with it. hell according to thier readme file for the drivers, don't list it as a supported product. mostly namely the Asus boards being more prominent with this new Realtek ALC HD audio chip which even Realtek's own website doesn't list a damn thing about.

Dolby Digital Audio Download for Windows 10/11. Dolby Digital was firstly used to provide digital sound in cinemas and now is widely used in TV broadcast, satellite radio broadcast, digital video streaming, blue-ray discs, game consoles, etc. I've been seeing a number of motherboards. Dolby Digital audio compression is lossy and based on MDCT algorithm.
