A good 6 channel audio codec for PC

AC’97 Audio Codec is an AC’97 2.2 compatible stereo audio codec designed for PC multimedia systems, including host/soft audio and AMR/CNR based designs.

While hardly the most interesting piece of software, the AC’97 Audio Codec is a comprehensive addition to your audio set-up. It incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve a signal-to-noise ratio above 90dB. It also supports multiple codec extensions with variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects.

AC’97 Audio Codec provides two pairs of stereo outputs with independent volume controls, a mono output, and multiple stereo and mono inputs, as well as mixing, gain and mute functions that provide a complete integrated audio solution. The codec can be used to equal advantage in both PCs and netbooks.

The AC’97 Audio Codec also supports a SPDIF out function which allows easy connection from the PC to consumer electronic products. The codec comes bundled with Windows drivers and various sound effects (including Karaoke, emulation of 26 sound environments, and 5-band equalizer), features that round off any PC sound system.

If you need an audio codec solution for your PC, AC’97 Audio Codec is a great option.
