1.7 Audio Subsystem Product Description
The onboard audio subsystem consists of the following:
 • Intel 82801GB ICH7 • Analog Devices ADI1988A (or Sigmatel STAC9227) audio 
codec
 • Back panel audio connectors
 • Component-side audio headers
The audio subsystem supports the following features:
 • Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio jacks that enables the audio 
codec to recognize the device that is connected to an audio port.  Within 
hardware constraints, the back panel audio jacks are capable of retasking 
according to the user’s definition, or can be automatically switched depending 
on the recognized device type.
  • Stereo input and output for all back panel jacks
 • Line out and Mic in functions for front panel audio jacks

if pin cap support impsense, this mean the driver may retask the rear
mic jack automatically by measure the impedance since mic has higher
impedance

3.2. 3.3. Impedance Sense 
Impedance Sense is accomplished by on-chip circuitry that measures the 
impedance at the pin of the chip and compares it to internal reference 
impedance. 
Below is a table that contains the bin information and codes returned when the 
pin widget impedance field in the Port Pin Sense widget is read. 
Please note that even under the best conditions, there is no method to 
guarantee 100% impedance sensing due to variations in external circuitry and 
impedance overlap of devices that can be plugged into a jack. 
The impedance sense table reflects both standard Line Out and Headphone output 
drivers. 
Please reference the HD Audio Universal Jack Application Note on the SigmaTel 
Extranet for more information.
