Realtek ATI HDMI Audio Device 2.00

The ALC885 is a high-performance 7.1+2 Channel High Definition Audio Codec with advanced lossless content protection technology that protects pre-recorded content while still allowing full-rate audio enjoyment from DVD audio, Blu-ray DVD, or HD DVD discs.
The ALC885 provides ten DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1 sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs. Three stereo ADCs are integrated and can support a microphone array with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technologies simultaneously.

All analog IO are input and output capable, and headphone amplifiers are also integrated at each analog output. All analog IOs can be re-tasked according to user’s definitions, or automatically switched depending on the connected device type.

Support for 16/20/24-bit S/PDIF input and output offers easy connection of PCs to high-quality consumer electronic products such as digital decoders and speakers. The series incorporates Realtek proprietary converter technology to achieve 106dB Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback quality and 101dB SNR recording quality, and is designed for Windows Vista premium desktop and laptop systems.

The ALC885 supports host/soft audio from the Intel ICH series chipset, and also from any other HDA compatible audio controller. With EAX/Direct Sound 3D/I3DL2/A3D compatibility, and excellent software utilities like Karaoke mode, environment emulation, software equalizer, HRTF 3D positional audio, and optional Dolby® Master Studio™, the ALC885 provides an excellent home entertainment package and game experience for PC users

ATI HDMI Audio Device 2.0 not Realtek Driver R2.0. If I'm not mistaken these are two different drivers. Still waiting on the release of Realtek R2.0. You are correct R1.99 released just the other day.

Ditto. So can these cards be used in lieu of soundcards? Or is that just for movie playback? Or is it some sort of DRM where it allows full quality reproduction?

My GF's dad wanted to hook his PC up to his TV to watch "Netflix" videos. The ATI cards have the HDMI adapter, which carries the video and sound signal. So yes, you can use the sound through the HDMI.

Here's where things get a little muddy for me... I have a Realtek chipset on my motherboard. I also have a ATI HDMI audio device paired with my integrated GPU, the manufacturer is of course Realtek... Finally, I have the ATI HDMI device belonging to my 3870.

I disabled my onboard audio and just run 7.1 to my receiver via the 4870 and HDMI Dongle it comes with. It is the first time I have been able to sucessfully get me receiver to recognize a 7.1 input. And it sounds great btw. Its only downfall is you have to enable your onboard sound to use a microphone.

I now have a grand total of 4 wires going to my comp:
Power
Net
keyboard(mouse plugged into keyboard)
Video/Sound

Daddy likes.... :-)
