Rightmark Audio Analyzer



We used Rightmark Audio Analyzer together with a loop-back cable to analyze the quality of the on-board audio solution.

Summary

Frequency response (from 40 Hz to 15 kHz), dB:+0.28, -0.32Good
Noise level, dB (A):-82.1Good
Dynamic range, dB (A):81.9Good
THD, %:0.0073Very good
IMD, %:0.053Good
Stereo crosstalk, dB:-79.5Very good
IMD at 10 kHz, %:0.155Average

General performance: Good
I am a bit dissapointed by that result. If a board claims to be a top notch gaming board, it has to offer better sound quality than "Good".
