Audio Support

The Intel

Workstation Board S5000XVN includes the Realtec* ALC260 2-channel high-

definition audio codec with universal audio architecture. It features a 24-bit, 2-channel

DAC and two stereo 20-bit ADCs.

The ALC260 provides two output channels with flexible mixing, mute and fine gain

controls to provide a complete integrated audio solution. The ALC260 provides high-

quality audio using S/PDIF to output analog data or multiple-source recording

applications. Jack sensing allows inputs and output device loads to be auto-detected.

Analog IOs are both input and output capable. The ALC260 supports 32-bit S/PDIF input/

output functions.

The feature list for the ALC260 is as follows:

• Single-chip multi-bit Sigma-Delta converters with high S/N ratio

• One stereo DAC that supports 16/20/24-bit PCM format with 44.1K/48K/96K/

192kHz sample rate

• Two stereo ADCs that support 16/20-bit PCM format with 44.1K/48K/96kHz

sample rate

• Applicable for 2-channel 192kHz DVD audio solutions

• Line out, HP out, line 1, line 2, mic 1, and mic 2 are stereo input and output re-

tasking
