The onboard Realtek ALC882 which is a High Defi-
audio
nition audio codec and the 6 audio jacks at the rear
I/O panel provides 8-channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel
super surround sound audio system. ALC882 also suppor ts S/PDIF
input and output, allowing digital connections with DVD systems or
other audio/video multimedia.
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that
S/PDIF
transfers digital audio signals to a device without
having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the
quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as
a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on
the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-
puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like
CD recorders.
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant
SERIAL ATA
with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to
3Gb/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard
parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
Silicon Image Sil3811 is a Serial ATA to Parallel ATA
IDE
bridge chip. Serial ATA commands from the Serial
ATA host interface are decoded and converted to Parallel ATA
commands and sent to the Parallel ATA device.
