“IDT is committed to providing system OEMs with the earliest and safest path to full Windows Logo Program compliance, and freeing our customers to focus on significant end system capabilities and differentiation.
This allows PC system manufacturers to deploy multiple differentiated systems while using a single, unified IDT driver.
Easy configuration around a single driver image.This provides users with the ability to handle a VoIP call through a headset without interrupting the music or video stream coming through the speakers. Dynamic resource reassignment among multiple audio streams.
This capability enables the rapid deployment of advanced user interfaces, along with the professional quality audio processing. Multiple independent control panels, each supporting an individual APO.Examples of such APOs include well-known sound specialist brands, the Microsoft APO and custom OEM modules. Additionally, third-party audio packages can be easily and cleanly integrated into the IDT environment. This provides system differentiation and the ability to “up-sell” audio capabilities at time of purchase.
The software includes an innovative APO backplane capability permitting system vendors to integrate multiple third-party DSP add-ons for sound processing.
The result is high-quality PC-based audio that delivers a seamless convergence of digital entertainment between the PC and consumer electronic devices. While the Microsoft driver is expected to support basic Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) functions, codec vendors are expected to differentiate their solutions by offering enhanced Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) solutions. Microsoft has chosen Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) as the main architecture for their new Universal Audio Architecture* (UAA), which provides one driver that will support all Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) controllers and codecs.
