In fact, ac'97 is an industry standard called Audio Codec 97. It is a cheap integrated sound solution launched by intel, it removes the most expensive DSP (Digital Signal Processor) from the sound card ), With a specially compiled driver, the CPU is responsible for signal processing, reducing the cost of the system and making the effect acceptable. Therefore, it has been widely used for a long time, people think of ac'97 as high resource usage, With a single performance function and increasingly powerful CPU performance, resource occupation is no longer a problem. As for the performance, it is also better with the update of the driver! 　　 Category: Realtek) Realtek's resource management system (CEN) is the most widely used one, which accounts for about half of the market. I don't want to talk about its performance. You can search for it.
