Intel released its High Definition Audio specification (version1.0) for PCs, handhelds and other consumer electronics. Intel High Definition Audio is expected to replace the aging AC’97 specification developed nearly a decade ago. Higher-quality is made possible by an upgraded architecture and increased bandwidth that allows for 192 kHz, 32-bit, multi-channel audio. Audio input is enhanced with increased support for multi-channel array microphones, dynamically allocated bandwidth, and audio device configuration flexibility. The HD Audio architecture is aligned with Microsoft’s Universal Audio Architecture (UAA). http://developer.intel.com
