1.10 Audio Subsystem 
The boards support the Intel High Definition audio subsystem based on the Realtek ALC860 
codec.  The audio subsystem supports the following features: 
•  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 
For the front panel jack sensing and automatic retasking feature to function, a front panel 
daughter 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.
