The Crystal
®
integrated PCI audio solution (not upgradeable) in your PC is
a two-chip solution made up of the CrystalClear

CS4280 PCI audio
controller and the CrystalClear CS4297 Audio Codec ‘97. The audio
controller interfaces with the PCI bus and performs all digital operations
such as sample rate conversions and synthesis. The CS4297 chip mixes and
processes all the analog signals.
All models have a Line In jack, Line Out jack and Mic In jack connector
located on the rear panel. These external jacks are standard connectors.

The integrated PCI audio can be disabled in the Advanced menu of the Setup
program, if an audio accessory board is installed.
