Windows Vista Logo Testing - Audio Fidelity
Effective from Windows Vista RC1 through June 1, 2007
The Windows Vista Logo Program (WLP 3.06) for hardware includes two audio fidelity requirements for Windows Vista--a Premium logo requirement (SYSFUND-0118) and a Basic logo requirement (SYSFUND-0127)--that define the minimum bar for audio fidelity quality on a Windows Vista PC. To validate audio fidelity requirements in the Windows Vista timeframe, a new suite of tests has been introduced in the Windows Driver Test Manager that require a specific piece of testing equipment, the Audio Precision (AP) SYS-2722 audio analyzer.
Based on feedback from our OEM partners, Microsoft has extended the date to June 1, 2007, for enforcement of the Audio Fidelity tests (and SYSFUND-0118 and SYSFUND-0127). This extension will give our OEM partners ample opportunity to prepare for these requirements, while still making systems available with the Windows Vista logo (Premium or Basic) at Windows Vista product launch. System submissions before June 1, 2007, will still be required to contain audio fidelity test log results; however, the test logs are not required to pass at this time.
