Realtek Semiconductor Corp. says that its newest audio CODEC features Intel's next-generation high definition audio (HD Audio) specification that provides PC users with high-quality audio with PC multimedia applications.
Adopting Dolby Laboratories latest digital audio technology, the PC audio solution advances PC sound playback and enables PCs to fully support emerging digital formats and devices. "With its innovative audio software technology, the new Audio CODEC will be the stimulant that pushes the PC into becoming the home entertainment center" says Robert Wang, Realtek's audio product manager.
Realtek's HD audio CODEC not only brings advanced surround audio to the PC, but enhances the quality of voice input and communication over the Internet. Acoustic Echo Cancellation technology eliminates echo that frequently bothers PC users during conference calls. Beam forming technology automatically detects the direction of speakers to enhance the audio quality of microphones.
Realtek HD audio CODEC takes advantage of Dolby's latest multi-channel audio technology to enrich the multimedia entertainment experience. PC users will enjoy the experience of high-quality surround-sound audio from their PC-based home theater. Implementation of Dolby's Dolby Pro Logic IIx transforms two-channel input into a natural-sounding 7.1-channel experience. Dolby headphone techno-logy delivers realistic surround audio over headphones.
