Support for the MSB of the volume level is not provided by the WM9703. If the MSB is written to,

then the WM9703 detects when that bit is set and sets all 4 LSBs to 1s. Example: If the driver writes

a 1xxxxx the WM9703 interprets that as x11111. It will also respond when read with x11111 rather

than 1xxxxx, the value written to it. The driver can use this feature to detect if support for the 6th bit is

there or not.

The default value of both the mono and the stereo registers is 8000h (1000 0000 0000 0000), which

corresponds to 0dB gain with mute on.

MASTER TONE CONTROL REGISTERS (INDEX 08h)

Optional register for support of tone controls (bass and treble). The WM9703 does not support bass

and treble and writing to this register will have no effect. Reading will result in all don’t care values.

PC BEEP REGISTER (INDEX 0Ah)

This controls the level for the PC-beep input. Each step corresponds to approximately 3dB of

attenuation. The MSB of the register is the mute bit. When this bit is set to 1 the level for that

channel is set at -

WM9703 defaults to the PC-beep path being muted, so an external speaker should be provided

within the PC to alert the user to power on self-test problems.

ANALOGUE MIXER INPUT GAIN REGISTERS (INDEX 0Ch - 18h)

This controls the gain/attenuation for each of the analogue inputs. Each step corresponds to

approximately 1.5dB. The MSB of the register is the mute bit. When this bit is set to 1 the level for

that channel is set at -

REGISTER 0Eh (MIC VOLUME REGISTER)

This has an extra bit that is for a 20dB boost. When bit 6 is set to 1 the 20dB boost is on. The default

value is 8008, which corresponds to 0dB gain with mute on.

The default value for the mono registers is 8008h, which corresponds to 0dB gain with mute on. The

default value for stereo registers is 8808h, which corresponds to 0dB gain with mute on.
