AC'97 is supported by most operating systems, such as Windows (starting with Windows 95) and Linux. Under DOS, applications access the sound hardware directly instead of through the operating system, and most DOS applications do not support AC'97. 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and later require a third-party driver for AC'97 support.

Intel High Definition Audio (IHDA) (also called HD Audio or development codename Azalia) is a specification for the audio sub-system of personal computers. It was released by Intel in 2004 as the successor to their AC'97 PC audio standard.
KMixer is the Kernel Audio Mixer driver, a part of WDM Audio in Windows 98 to Windows XP which handles the mixing of multiple sound buffers into an output. The tasks performed by KMixer.sys: Mixing multiple PCM audio streams; Format, bit-depth (also known as word-length) and sample-rate conversion; Speaker configuration and channel mapping
Another goal of UAA is to provide better support for multi-channel audio in Windows so that, for example, multi-channel WMA Pro audio streams can be played without special driver support. UAA is intended to be a complete replacement for developing WDM Audio Drivers; however, in some cases it may be necessary for an otherwise UAA-compliant audio ...
The A50p had an Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Processor, 256 MB PC2700 DDR Memory, 40 GB 7,200 RPM Hard Drive, 48x CD-ROM Optical Drive, SoundMAX Cadenza (AC'97) Audio, Intel Extreme 2 Integrated Graphics with 64 MB of Shared Memory, a 10/100 Ethernet Port, and six USB 2.0 Ports. [17] The A50p was called a "high-end consumer PC" by PC Magazine. [18]
A year later, in 1988, Creative marketed the C/MS via Radio Shack under the name Game Blaster.This card was identical in every way to the precursor C/MS hardware. Whereas the C/MS package came with five floppy disks full of utilities and song files, Creative supplied only a single floppy with the basic utilities and game patches to allow Sierra Online's games using the Sierra Creative ...
DTS-HD MA can store up to 8 discrete channels of audio (7.1 surround) at up to a 24 bit sample depth and 192 kHz sampling frequency (96 kHz for 6.1 or 7.1 surround). [2] Although DTS-HD MA, and the related DTS-HD, allow virtually any number of channels in the abstract, [ 3 ] these limits are imposed for practical reasons of limited storage and ...
DTS-HD Master Audio, previously known as DTS++, [27] is the second of two DTS-HD audio formats. [28] It supports a virtually unlimited number of surround sound channels, can deliver audio quality at bit rates extending from lossless (24-bit, 192 kHz) down to DTS Digital Surround and, like Neo, downmix to 5.1 or 2.1 systems.
