7.2.2.
The HDA controller allows two SDO signals to be used to strip outbound data, completing transmission
in less time to get more bandwidth. If software determines the target codec supports multiple SDO
capability, it enables the ‘Strip Control’ bit in the controller’s Output Stream Control Register to initiate a
specific stream (Stream ‘A’ in Figure 9) to be transmitted on multiple SDOs. In this case, the MSB of
stream data is always carried on SDO0, the second bit on SDO1 and so forth.
SDO1 is for transmitting a stripped stream. The codec does not support multiple SDOs connected to
SDO0.
To guarantee all codecs can determine their corresponding stream, the command stream is not stripped. It
is always transmitted on SDO0, and copied on SDO1.
