    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing multiple channel audio in a computing system includes processing that begins by receiving an audio setup signal that indicates whether audio is to be outputted as stereo audio or multiple channel audio. When multiple channel audio is to be outputted, the line-in driver is disabled in the audio processing circuitry and the multiple channel driver of the audio processing circuitry is enabled. Thus, the multiple channel driver is operably coupled to the line-in audio jack. When the audio output is to be outputted as stereo audio, the multiple channel driver is disabled and the line-in driver is enable. Thus, the line-in driver is operably coupled to the line-in audio jack.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for digital to analog signal conversions with reduced noise include processing that begins by receiving a digital signal and filtering the digital signal to produce a filtered digital signal. The filtering is tuned to attenuate components of the digital signal having frequencies near one-half the sampling rate frequency and to pass other components of the digital signal having frequencies away from one-half the sampling rate frequency. The filtered signals are then converted to analog signals based on a clock signal having a sampling rate frequency and a voltage reference.

    摘要: A pre-amplifier circuit, which may be used in a variety of data recovery circuits to accurately recover data transmissions, includes an input regulatory circuit, a feedback circuit, and an amplifier. The input regulatory circuit regulates the magnitude of the data signal provided to the amplifier based on feedback signals from a feedback circuit. For low level data signals, the input regulatory circuit provides a fill, or almost full, representation of the data signal to the amplifier for amplification.

    摘要: A computer audio system includes an audio codec and a lone controller. The audio codec is operably coupled to receive audio information, which includes tone control settings, PCM digital audio inputs and PCM digital audio outputs. In addition, the audio codec may receive audio information as analog input signals via a line-in, a CD input, or an auxiliary input. Based on the audio information, the audio codec provides a first stereo output, a second stereo output and a monotone audio output. The tone controller is operably coupled to the audio codec and includes a low pass filter, a high pass filter, a band pass filter, and a summing module. The low pass filter is operably coupled to filter the monotone audio output and isolates bass components of the audio signal being processed. By further coupling a volume control module to the low pass filter, the bass component of the audio signal being processed may be varied. The high pass filler is operably coupled to filter the first stereo audio signal to pass treble components of the audio signal being processed. Similarly, a volume control module may be coupled to the high pass filter to provide tone control for the treble components of the audio signal being processed. The band pass filter is operably coupled to filter the second stereo audio output, which passes midband components of the audio signal being processed. Similarly, a volume control module may be coupled to the band pass filter such that midband components of the audio signal being processed may be adjusted. The summing module sums the bass component, treble component and midband component of the audio signal being processed to produce a tone controlled audio output.

    摘要: An adjustable power control module includes a supply voltage comparison circuit, a signal dependent current source, and a power regulation module. The supply voltage comparison circuit is operably coupled to compare a supply voltage with a low-powered threshold. When the supply voltage is less than the low-power threshold, the supply voltage comparison circuit provides a corresponding indication to the signal dependent current source. The signal dependent current source generates a first regulated current when the supply voltage is less than the low powered threshold based on the indication and generates a second regulated current when the supply voltage is above the low power threshold. The second regulated current is larger than the first regulated current. The power regulation module provides the first or second regulated current to an associated circuit. As such, the current supplied to the circuit is regulated based on operating conditions for the circuit. As such, when operating conditions dictate that more power can be provided to the circuit, the adjustable power control module provides more current conversely when the operating conditions indicate less power, the adjustable power control module provides less power.
