They had an integrated OPL3-SA3 for backward compatibility to Ad Lib, Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro and Windows Sound System, and also have the same MPU-401-compatible interface for external General MIDI synthesizers. In addition, the YMF724 includes a 64-voice GM/DS-XG wavetable synthesizer with 2-channel output, interface to AC'97 codec, S/PDIF output, a Dolby AC-3 decoder, and 3D positional audio via DirectSound3D and QSound.
Adi 1988b 8 Channel High Definition Audio Codec Driver
A PCI audio accelerator chipset with a 64-channel pipeline hardware Wave Processor and a proprietary audio signal processor. The Maestro PCI audio accelerators provided a high-performance PCI interface, while retaining compatibility to existing DOS games.
Their architecture consists of a 64-channel pipeline hardware Wave Processor and a proprietary audio signal processor. Together they can simultaneously handle multiple audio streams of different data types, high quality MIDI synthesis, and voice compression and decompression. The synthesizer also performs advanced audio effects such as reverb, chorus, flange, echo and 3-D spatial enhancement.
It also gets a built-in third-generation 16-bit Sigma-Delta codec by ECTIVA, which is further integrated with a low distortion complex mixer featuring 3D audio expansion. The OPTiSound 82C933 produces a spatial or widened stereo image from ordinary left and right channel inputs, without any initial encoding of input signals.
Cirrus Logic, Inc. produced some of the highest quality audio codecs, mainly used in home theatre receivers. In 1991 they acquired Crystal Semiconductor, a supplier of analog and mixed-signal converter ICs. The Crystal codecs were then marketed as Cirrus Logic's budget line. All these codec chips have the prefix "CS".
