High Definition Audio refers to the high-definition audio standard announced in 2004. It refers to unifying standards for audio delivery and enabling playback of more channels than the previous AC97 integrated audio codec. The HD audio standard allows playback of up to 8 channels at 96kHz/32bit with a quality of 192kHz/32bit.
