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
