Intel's HD Audio PC Sound Ambitions

Behavior At 44.1 KHz

Frequency response the frequency response was fine even though small waves were produced. The measurement scale was dilated.

Noise level : the noise level was perfectly acceptable, one channel being noisier than the other at the top of the spectrum.

Dynamic capacity : obviously, the difference in noise levels between the channels had quite an effect on the dynamics.

Distortion : distortion remained low despite the difference in performance between the channels.

Intermodulation : no particular problems with intermodulation distortion.

Stereo separation : stereo separation was perfectly adequate for any application for equipment of this kind.
