CMI8738
PCI-6CH C3DX series /PCI-Based HRTF 3D Extension Positional Audio Chip
1. Description and Overview
With high speed PCI V2.1 bus controller and legacy audio SBPro® DSPemulator,CMI8738 is designed for PC
add-in cards and all-in-one motherboards. No external CODEC is needed in CMI8738: CMI-8738 supports the
legacy audio – SBPRO™, FM emulator/DLS wavetable music synthesis, and HRTF 3D positional audio functions.
Drivers support EAX® , Karaoke Key, Echo……functions. Above all CMI8738 supports PCtel® HSP56 (1789)
interface.
Being compatible with DirectSound™ 3D, CMI8738 meets PC99® requirements, and supports professional
digital audio interface such as 16-bit SPDIF IN (0.5V ~ 5V)and OUT(44.1K and 48K format).
CMI8738 uses HRTF 3D extension technology to enhance traditional HRTF 3D positional audio by substituting
two-speaker system by four or six - speaker one (it supports additional 2 ch 16-bit DAC to provide rear side
audio and another 2 ch for subwoofer/Center).
It greatly improves HRTF 3D positional audio quality and
successfully removes the sweet spot limitations: users can enjoy genuine 3D audio gaming effects, and don't
have to worry about the environmental confinement any more.
Being outstanding for its full audio functions, competitive price, and power management, CMI-8738 is the
best choice for people seeking for optimum use of the PC applications.

9. Audio Processing Technology
9.1 Stereo
It is only one-dimensional, as sounds come from (left /right) the physical location of speakers.
9.2 Surround (Stereo Expander)
It filters the existing stereo signal to make the sounds fill in the area around the speakers, and in front
of the listener. Sound sources appear to come from outside the physical locations of the speakers.
9.3 Multi-Speaker Surround (Dolby Pro Logic or Digital AC-3)
It uses five speakers instead of two to surround the listener; hence, sound sources come from five
directions and create engaging audio experience.
This surround sound effect, however, has to be
pre-recorded, and it dose not support interactive environment.

9.4 HRTF 3D Positional 3D (C-Media 3D)
Only this sound processing technology can be called real 3D manifestation, as 3D usually refers to the
three dimensions of X, Y and Z. This technology allows people to pin-point the location of sound in
the real world (up/down, left/right, front/back)using only two speakers or a pair of headphones. This
technology also supports interactive 3D applications to get a real-time placement of sounds via API
(application programming interface) such as Microsoft DirectSound3DTM. We can also use this
technology to simulate Multi-speaker Surround with two physical speakers to deliver five “virtual"
speakers in the air, surrounding the listener and creating home theater sound environment. This is the
most economical and the easiest solution to people who would like to get high performance surround
sound but don’t want to spend money in adding extra speakers.

9.5 HRTF 3D Extension Positional (C-Media 3DX)
3D illusion exists because traditional 3D positional audio system assumes the user's position as the sweet spot to
design crosstalk-cancellation circuit; therefore, if the user wants to have 3D positional audio effects, he can’t
move his head or position out of sweet spot.
Another 3D illusion fails because half the population are
compulsive "head-turners" who will never get 3D audio from two speakers . To remedy this, C-Media utilizes
HRTF 3D extension technology (C3DX) to enhance traditional HRTF 3D positional audio by substituting
two-speaker system by four-speaker one. Therefore, at least one or two speakers should be placed behind the
listener's head to complement the rear-side effect, thus creating compelling realistic sound. This technology
greatly improves HRTF 3D positional audio quality, and successfully eliminates the sweet spot limitation. Users
can enjoy the real 3D audio gaming effects, and don't have to worry about the environmental confinement any
more.

C3D HRTF Positional Audio Technology
The basic concept of C3D is: since we can hear sound three dimensionally in the real world using our two
ears, it must be possible to regenerate the same sound effect from two loud speakers.
How to listen to C3D sound correctly and properly?
a. Use Headphones to Have Much Better Effect
When you use headphones in listening, there will be less interference such as outside voices or room reflections
comparing to using speakers.
b. Choose Correct Output Devices
Choose the correct output devices in the options of demo program in accordance with what listening devices
you want to listen to. Listening through speakers must be proceeded by crosstalk-cancellation, so if you
choose the wrong output devices, there won’t be any 3D positional audio effect.

PCI-6CH C3DX series /PCI-Based HRTF 3D Extension Positional Audio Chip
c. Position of Speakers
If you listen from speakers, please do not reverse the left and right speakers, which should be put in equal
distance from the listener. That is, the listener, the left, and the right speaker must be in the topmost of a right
triangle. The position of the listener is called the “sweet spot”. In addition, the height of the listener’s ears must
be equal to that of the speakers.
9.7 Turn Surround Sound Functions off
When the surround sound effect is enabled, it will cause confusion with C3D sound, and make positional sound
effect invalid.

10. CMI8738 PCI Audio Adapter Layout Notes
1. The wires of analog circuits(chip pin64-80) must be wider than 12mil.
2. Placing digital signals such as SPDIF IN/OUT(pin86, 98) and TXD/RXD(pin88,89) near the
analog signals should be avoided. However, if these signals have to be adjacent, please
place ground between these digital and analog signal wires to isolate noises.
3. The whole PCB grounding should be well-organized(The ground must be placed as much
as possible. Also, the ground of both the component and the solder sides should be drilled
as much as possible.).
4. The grounding under CMI8738 should be well-organized as mentioned above.
5. The regulator(78L05) must be placed near the chip as much as possible.
