ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 Review
Fan Noise & Overclocking »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: | +1.52, -8.63 | Very poor |
| Noise level, dB (A): | -62.2 | Poor |
| Dynamic range, dB (A): | 62.8 | Poor |
| THD, %: | 0.144 | Average |
| IMD, %: | 15.831 | Very poor |
| Stereo crosstalk, dB: | -71.3 | Good |
| IMD at 10 kHz, %: | 1.218 | Poor |
General performance: Poor
I have no idea why the test result is so bad, the ALC660 is used on other boards too and works good there. The test was run multiple times, kept giving the same result.
