ECS P67H2-A Black Extreme Audio Performance

  • 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 we are seeing much of a difference. 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.
