The chip has an integrated 5-volt to 4.5-volt low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator that guarantees reasonably acceptable analog audio performance without an external BOM, and an integrated 3.3-volt to 1.8-volt low-dropout voltage regulator used to power internal digital blocks.

Realtek’s ALC1200 HD audio codec is a SoC and energy-saving 110 dB SNR multi-channel audio codec with lossless DRM that protects pre-recorded and lossless content for full DVD Audio and Blu-ray DVD or HD DVD disc playback. At least I hope to destroy one or the other Urban Legend with today’s article. On my way from a board manufacturer I was able to get the data sheets, which Realtek unfortunately still keeps under lock and key.
The package of the ALC1220 is by the way not by chance bigger, because the functionality is, too. With an old ALC887 you can’t compare the ALC1200 either, that would be very unfair. The bigger and higher quality ALC1220 (2017) is even older, the ALC1200 came one year later (2018) and a completely different chip. And the only right thing to do is: both are already completely wrong. Some write from a highly labeled ALC887, others from a slightly slimmed down ALC1220. One finds the Realtek ALC1200 very often on beginner and mid-range motherboards, and if you google once or interpret the swarm intelligence of the relevant forums, there is also a frightening amount of half and ignorance in circulation.
