Abstract

The present invention sets forth a method for supporting enhanced audio on a graphics processing unit (GPU) in a computing device having a graphics subsystem. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of determining whether an option of a GPU audio output is enabled and the graphics subsystem and a first external output device is connected, and routing a first audio stream to the GPU of the graphics subsystem for processing when the option of the GPU audio output is enabled and the graphics subsystem and the first external output device is in connection and causing the processed first audio stream to be transferred along a first transmission path to the first external output device, or otherwise causing a second audio stream to be transferred along a second transmission path to a second external output device.
