13 AC'97 and HD Audio
13.1 Signals Definition
The COM Express specification allocates seven pins on the A-B connector to support digital AC'97 and
HD interfaces to audio codecs on the carrier board. The pins are available on all module types. High-
definition (HD) audio uses the same digital-signal interface as AC '97 audio. Codecs for AC '97 and HD
audio are different.
