GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 Audio Performance

  • GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 - Realtek ALC892 8-Ch High Definition Audio CODEC
  • ECS P67H2-A Black Extreme - Realtek ALC892 8-Ch High Definition Audio CODEC
  • MSI P67A-GD65 - Realtek ALC892 8-Ch High Definition Audio CODEC
  • ASUS P8P67 Deluxe - Realtek ALC889 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
  • ASUS P8P67 - Realtek ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
  • ECS P55H-AK - Realtek RTL889 8-Ch High Definition audio CODEC

There is very little performance difference between any of the boards we have tested. Stereo Crosstalk is the only area where we are seeing much of a variance. Stereo Crosstalk happens when one channel leaks to the other; this happens at a certain number of decibels. The higher the decibel rating the louder the audio will be before the Stereo Crosstalk will begin to happen. We are also seeing some variances in the Noise Level, dB and the Dynamic Range, dB. Overall though, I haven't heard any discernible differences when working with any of the boards. My gaming experience has been a pleasure on all of the boards to date!
