Table 14 Extended Audio Status and Control Register
REGISTER 2Ch TO 32h – AUDIO SAMPLE RATE CONTROL REGISTERS
These registers are read/write registers that are written to, to select alternative sample rates for the
audio PCM converters. Default is the 48ks/s rate. Note that only Revision 2.1 recommended rates
are supported by the WM9707, selection of any other unsupported rates will cause the rate to default
to the nearest supported rate, and the supported rate value to be latched and so read back.
Note that the SPDIF mode only supports 48ks/s rate.
REGISTERS 36h AND 38h – 6 CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL
These read/write registers control the output volume of the optional four PCM channels. (not
supported by the WM9707)
VENDOR RESERVED REGISTERS (INDEX 5Ah - 7Ah)
These registers are vendor specific. Do not write to these registers unless the Vendor ID register has
been checked first to ensure that the driver knows the source of the AC ‘97 component.
SPDIF DIGITAL AUDIO DATA OUTPUT – (INDEX 5Ch)
The WM9707 provides an SPDIF output. In order to enable this output, bit SPDF in Register 5Ch
should be set. Additionally, a bit SCMS in Register 5Ch may also be set, which sets the copyright
flag in the IEC958 data, allowing serial copy protect mechanisms to be removed.
The WM9707 can be programmed to automute the DACs. By setting the mute bit, the WM9707 will
mute the DACs when it detects a continuous sequence of 1024 zeros.
