VIA

VIA manufactures both codecs and complete audio controllers. Their controllers (Envy24 series and Tremor) require an external codec and usually the motherboard manufacturer that choose to use a VIA external controller also pick a VIA codec. Since VIA audio controllers got some popularity in the past, we are including their main specs on a separated table. VIA use names starting with “VT” for their codecs.
