Both AMD and Intel CPUs get outings with these new technologies. On the AMD side we have three motherboards: the AN8 series starting with the V2.0, the midrange Ultra (above) and an SLI version for the gaming enthusiast. All take 939 based Athlon processors, up to 4GB DDR400 RAM, and are based on the nForce 4 chipset. V2.0 has AudioMAX, but in a 5.1 scaled down version, and 4x SATA (1.5Gbps) connectors. The Ultra and SLI have the full AudioMAX 7.1 along with 4x SATAII (3Gbps).

For Intel there are the AW8 and AW8-MAX. Both support LGA775 CPUs, but the AW8 is built around the 955X Express chipset and has DDR2 400/533 support, AudioMAX 5.1 and 4x SATAII connectors; whereas the MAX is a derivative of the flagship 955X chipset. This takes up to 8GB of DDR2 533/667 RAM, has AudioMAX 7.1 and 6x SATAII connectors.

All four models will be available by the end of the month, though the RRPs have yet to be announced.

This is Abit’s first Dolby certified audio product and offers high definition sound support in up to 7.1 channels. The usual array of ports make an appearance on the device (which screws into a PCI slot), including S/PDIF in/out meaning digital devices such as music players and DAT recorders can be connected. Support for multi-channel (AC-3) decoding is also supported.

Parece-me superior ao Azalia, alem de k optar por uma placa em separado, é uma melhor opção, eliminado o ruido da bord.
Descodificação AC3 é optimo para os filmes.

Eu já gostava da bord para A64, agora com esta versão parece k ficou perfeita. Falta o preço. :)
 
Mais uma board com o mesmo chip de audio da gigabyte

ALC882
7.1+2 HD Audio Codec

General Description
The ALC882 series* 7.1+2 Channel High Definition Audio codecs with UAA (Universal Audio Architecture), featuring five 24-bit stereo DACs and three 20-bit stereo ADCs, are designed for high performance multimedia PC systems. The ALC882 series incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve over 100dB Signal-to-Noise ratio playback quality; easily meeting PC2001 requirements and also bringing PC sound quality closer to consumer electronic devices.

The ALC882 series provide 10 channels of DAC that simultaneously support 7.1 sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the Front-Out-Left and Front-Out-Right channels. Flexible mixing, mute, and fine gain control functions provide a complete integrated audio solution for next generation multimedia PCs.

The DACs (with a highest sampling frequency of 192kHz) and Realtek proprietary hardware content protection are applicable for DVD-Audio, previously only implemented in high-end consumer electronics, and now achieved by PCs with the ALC882 series inside. The ALC882 series also integrate three stereo ADCs that can support a microphone array with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technology simultaneously, significantly improving recording quality for conference calls. With this feature (3 stereo ADCs), the ALC882 series can provide high-quality audio using S/PDIF to output analog data, or for multiple-source recording applications. All analog IO are input and output capable, and headphone amplifiers are also integrated at each analog output. All analog IOs can be re-tasked according to user's definitions, or automatically switched depending on the connected device type.

The ALC882 series support 16/20/24/32-bit S/PDIF input and output functions for both consumer mode and professional mode, offering easy connection of PCs to high quality consumer electronic products such as AC-3 decoders/speakers, and mini disk devices. The ALC882 series supports host/soft audio from the Intel ICH6/ICH7 chipset, and also from any other HDA compatible audio controller. With EAX/Direct Sound 3D/I3DL2/A3D compatibility, and excellent software utilities like Karaoke mode, environment emulation, software equalizer, HRTF 3D positional audio, and optional Dolby® Digital Live and Master Studio program, the ALC882 series provides an excellent entertainment package and game experience for PC users.
