Hi there!

I would know any suggestions, experiences etc about asus P4C800 or P4B800
motherboards, especially their integrated audio controller features.
Some of my friends told me, that this chip (ADI AD1985) 'sucks'.. it's
SPDIF does not work well/at all.


Thnx.

Though I don't use the SPDIF, the performance/quality of the chip is fine
for me.

One problem though, if you set the volume levels too high you do get
occasional popping sounds (waveform overflows no doubt, which aren't
clipped).
 
I use the P4PE chipset and soundmax audio, I to get those pops, so far they
don't come out on the encoded mps or video captures I do.. Thank God, but the
card has good sound, I also don't use the SPDIF, I use a soundblaster 5.1 and
soundblaster 16 in other systems.. I think the audio chip dos pretty good. It
does not have all the good stuff my soundblaster has, thats for sure, but its
just as good,. its just those pops that are anoying kinda..
