Quick question: is Azalia Standard the same as HD AUDIO ?

[Kevinsilhouette]

Is there a difference between Azalia Standard and HD Audio ? I would like to know because my mobo manual say's front I/O audio panel supports Azalia Audio Standard and my new case comes with only an HD Audio cable from the front I/O panel. The connectors are Identical but I wasn't sure the difference and left it unplug till I can get it answered!

Thanks

"Azalia" was just an internal R & D name adopted by Intel in 2004 for their HD audio standard which superceded AC'97.

It's HD audio just the same, whatever it's name.
