The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio

Posted by michael on from the hear-hear dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A few days back Intel announced the name to its previously dubbed 'Azalia' next-generation audio specification due out by midyear, under royalty-free license terms. The Intel High Definition Audio solution will have increased bandwidth that allows for 192 kHz, 32-bit, multi-channel audio and uses Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology 'which delivers the most natural, seamless and immersing 7.1 surround listening experience from any native 2-channel source'. The architecture is designed on the same cost-sensitive principles as AC'97 and will allow for improved audio usage and stability."

    There are certain dangers with high frequencies to health.
    Our brain changes state based upon certain frequencies, for example we enter sleep at the low end 1-4 hz. Now imagine what would happen at those higher frequencies. True we may not hear them, but the waves will get picked up by the brain.

    I was surprised, as well. I always figured Linux to be a gay nigger.

  6. Can you recommend some computer speakers? by MichaelCrawford · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I'm looking for new computer speakers for listening to music.

    In particular, I'm looking for stereo, not surround sound - for playing CDs, mp3s and oggs. I'm also looking for speakers that have excellent audio fidelity when played softly.

    I asked about this on alt.music.mp3 and so far the best recommendation is I think the Logitech Z-2200. But these are very high power speakers (200 watts) - I will never turn them up that loud.

    The other suggestion that makes a lot of sense to me is to use regular stereo speakers hooked up to a conventional audio amp. That's what I'm thinking of doing now, as I have a good amp that I'm not using right now.
