FM801-AU

F ortéMedia FM801-AU PCI Audio Controller The ForteMedia FM801-AU is designed to suit the most cost-effective, practical, PCI Audio solution for both desktop computer and notebook computer. It integrates the essential features of today’s gaming requirements without compromising the PC98 criterion for audio quality. FM801-AU integrates the PCI 2.2 bus master controller, music synthesis, SoundBlaster Pro Engine, sampling rate converter, digital mixer, CODEC interface, game ports, I2S ports and S/PDIF port. The FM801 solution leverages its simple but effective hardware/software architecture and the uprising HSP (hostbased signal processing) support on Direct Sound, WaveTable and Direct 3D positional audio, and is therefore the most practical PCI audio solution. The CODEC interface is fully compliant to AC-97 ver.2.1 and is capable of supporting multiple speakers for either docking application or merely a PC theater set up for gaming and audio enjoyment. With its 3.3 volts operating voltage, ACPI power management, PME and PCI clock-run supports, plus a small 100-pin PQFP package size, the FM801 surely is the right choice for today’s PCI audio solution.
