thinkpads.com Support Community :: View topic - Audio Codec Chip?
Hey Guys,
Do we know what audio chip these things are going to have?
The T60 has an AD1981HD chip in it, but I'm hoping for a little better.
Thanks.

The T400 has an AD1984HD and the T500 has a Conexant 20561 (can't find specs).

Has anyone actually received a T400 or T500 and tested whether they can record audio beyond just through the internal mic?
Do we know yet if they suffer from the same X61 and T61 series audio recording issue as documented within this Sticky?

If you're talking about the Stereo Mix issue, give another week and I should be able to tell you.

How strange that they use 2 different audio parts in the T-series.
I can't remember that ever happening before.
Are there any feature differences?

I don't know.
I know the AD1984HD has 96+ dB SNR, 96 db dynamic range, and plays up to 192 kHz at 24-bits per sample.
That seems pretty good.

Okay, hold everything.
Lenovo has the Conexant driver marked for the T500, R500, R400, AND the T400.
What gives? Does anyone with a T400 have any insight?

Not sure, but I'm hearing rumors from friends in Asia that the new Lenovos will remain crippled like the T61 and X61 series with regards to audio recording from anything other than "mic" again, just rumors so let's wait and see what actually is delivered to the US and European markets.

I'm not holding my breath on the Stereo Mix option, I just want the dynamic range of SNR of the Analog Devices chip.
