The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio 428
An anonymous reader writes "A few days back Intel announced the name to
its previously dubbed 'Azalia' next-generation audio specification due out by midyear, under royalty-free license terms. The
Intel High Definition Audio solution will have increased bandwidth that allows for 192 kHz, 32-bit, multi-channel audio and uses
Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology 'which delivers the most natural, seamless and immersing 7.1 surround listening experience from any native 2-channel source'. The architecture is designed on the same cost-sensitive principles as
AC'97 and will allow for improved audio usage and stability."
