All-in-one computer audio system
View Patent ↗An all-in-one audio system includes an audio chip, an audio interface, first and second audio signal amplifiers, a speaker, a woofer, a multi-function controller, a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), and a switch. The multi-function controller is connected to the audio chip, the switch, the audio interface, the first and second audio signal amplifiers, and the HDMI. When the multi-function controller detects a high definition multimedia signal through the HDMI, the multi-function controller turns off the switch, decodes the high definition multimedia signal into an audio signal, and transmits the audio signal to the audio interface, and the first and second audio signal amplifiers. The first and second audio signal amplifiers amplify the audio signal and output the amplified audio signal to the speaker and woofer.
1. An all-in-one computer audio system comprising:
an audio chip to output a first audio signal;
an audio interface to connect to an audio device;
a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) to connect to an electronic device, wherein when the electronic device is turned on, the electronic device outputs a high definition multimedia signal to the HDMI;
a switch connected between the audio chip and the audio interface;
a multi-function controller connected to the switch to control the audio chip to transmit the first audio signal to the audio interface, connected to the audio chip to receive the first audio signal, connected to the HDMI to receive the high definition multimedia signal to decode the high definition multimedia signal into a second audio signal, and connected to the audio interface to transmit the second audio signal to the audio device by the audio interface;
a speaker;
a woofer;
a first audio signal amplifier connected between the multi-function controller and the speaker to amplify the first and second audio signals, and output the amplified first and second audio signals; and
a second audio signal amplifier connected between the multi-function controller and the woofer to amplify the first and second audio signals, and output the amplified first and second audio signals;
wherein when the multi-function controller receives the high definition multimedia signal through the HDMI, the multi-function controller turns off the switch to disconnect the audio chip from the audio interface, and transmit the second audio signal to the first and second audio signal amplifiers.
2. The all-in-one computer audio system of claim 1 , wherein when the multi-function controller only detects the first audio signal from the audio chip, the multi-function controller turns on the switch to allow the audio chip to transmit the first audio signal to the audio interface, and outputs the first audio signal to the first and second audio signal amplifiers.
