Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 R3.3 is using:
On-board audio: Produced by the chipset together with a Realtek ALC883 codec (eight channels, 24-bit resolution, up to 96 KHz sampling rate for the inputs and up to 192 KHz sampling rate for the outputs, 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the inputs and 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the outputs).
