13.0 REGISTER SUMMARY

13.1 Reset Register (add. 00h)

Writing any value to this register performs a register reset, which causes all registers to revert to their default

values. Reading this register returns 00E4h as it is the ID code of the part and its 3D Stereo Enhancement type

(See AC'97 revision 2.1 specification, section 6.3.1).

13.2 LR Volume Register (add. 02h)

This register manage the stereo (both right and left channels) output signal volumes. The MSB of the register

is the mute bit. When this bit is set to 1 the level for that channel is set at -

∞ dB. ML6 through ML0 is for the left

channel level, MR6 through MR0 is for the right channel.

There are two options: in 'Full Compliance' operating mode (bit 0 in the CRA register, address 5Ah, is set to '0')

only 6 bits are active (Mx0 to Mx5) and each step corresponds to 1.5 dB. In 'Proprietary' mode (bit 0 in the CRA

register is set to '1') Mx0 to Mx6 can have the values between 0h to 68h (110 1000) and each step corresponds

to 1dB. Greater values are undefined.

The default value is 8000h (1000 0000 0000 0000), which corresponds to 0 dB attenuation with mute on.
