[AMD] True Audio Technology

[Felfirez]

thanks. Just what I asked for. Learn from this dude Felfirez.
Then bro, do u have any idea how to use earphones to enjoy trueaudio? Would this work? HDMI -> TV -> earphone. As in, earphone plug into TV. I dont think so right? Need to get some adaptors or something to enjoy trueaudio?

I replied on the way the question is asked, and the way you asked is just pure brainless. Connect to the graphic card directly? Do you see any 3.5mm jack? There are countless explanations, the one you posted which is the 1st search result in google, which you can't be bothered to read too, is the best.

As for connection, take HDMI from your PC to your amplifier, and then use a passive HDMI to DVI converter to bring it to your display. HDMI and Single-Link DVI-D are electrically identical, with HDMI just having some newer features. It should work just fine.

That's in the article too.

To simplify it, to make full use of TrueAudio, you need an external AVR (audio video receiver), amp, DAC (digital to analog converter), etc. So right now you have two audio processors; one onboard where you plug in to the front panel, and the other via the SPDIF or HDMI out from the GFX card.

As of now, TrueAudio isn't matured nor gaining popularity due to its ambiguous methods to the normal consumer. Comparing it to existing available setups such as discrete audio cards, its no reason why people don't bother much. But that's not to say its not interesting if it does kick off in a simpler user friendlier way.

Here's a simple comparison for surround. Other features are too minute at the moment to compare.

Thanks for the replies. Since trueaudio is a no-go, i guess i will work on other aspects to improve my gaming experience. Does anyone happen to be using a crossfire setup in recent times? As in r7/r9 series? I would like to know how has the general software optimization been for crossfire in this day, the last time i came across a crossfire setup it was really bad with stuttering to and fro. Im also at a loss if I should get a $75 H81 mobo and call it a day or topup a bit more to $125 for a B85, because the business board supports crossfire config, and the 285 is probably gonna be dirt cheap really soon.

If you did more research, you should know that there is a limitations in crossfire using a B85 chipset. And im sure you wont wanna use a b85 board to do multi graphics build.

Oh I'm mistaken then, have been comparing the specs of these 2 board side by side and the only difference I can see is the number of sata connectors? Or do I need 2 pcie-x16 slots? because these 2 board have 1 pciex4 and 1 pciex16
ASRock > H97M Pro4
ASRock > B85M Pro4

You will need a z87/z97 board to do so. And even though, NOT all z87/97 can perform SLI nor Xfire at x8/x8. Low end z87/97 can only do Xfire at x8/x4.

Bro thank for advise. What about this? It says on the spec sheet that although its B85, it has 2 pcie x16 slots. Good for crossfire?

Can is can. But the second slot will be pcie2 x4 lane.
