Because focus has traditionally been placed on features such as screen size and resolution, storage space, and processing power, quality sound reproduction had been often overlooked as a key feature. But, with the PC rapidly developing into an all-in-one multimedia and entertainment device, audio quality has become essential to the PCs much like large screen flat panel TVs and smartphones. With the advent of SRS Premium Sound HD, a vast number of mobile consumers can discover for themselves what top-of-the-line audio does for their overall PC entertainment experience.

"Consumers today demand more out of their PCs, and the presence of premium quality audio is at the top of this list," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "SRS Premium Sound HD is a powerful audio solution that brings the collective PC multimedia experience to life through a host of carefully integrated post processing technologies that create an incredible and engaging audio experience."

In a recent MarketTools(TM) third party survey, eight out of 10 PC buyers in North America indicated sound quality of a PC to be an important decision factor when buying a PC. In the same survey, audio performance scored higher than weight, battery life and style in terms of importance to buyers. Several other recent studies have confirmed that higher performance audio is now considered a universally required feature on PCs worldwide.

Building on the success of Premium Sound, which has been implemented into millions of PCs around the world, Premium Sound HD adds the much needed and unique ability to deliver a stable and level audio volume from all content and sources. So, for instance, when listening to music over iTunes, consumers no longer have to adjust the volume when one song switches the next, much louder song. They can set the volume once, sit back and relax knowing that their audio experience will be free of annoying volume fluctuations.

In addition, PCs featuring SRS Premium Sound HD will provide consumers with a surround sound experience that's vastly more complete and enjoyable than what they've reluctantly grown accustomed to. SRS Premium Sound HD's feature-driven advances include:

• Immersive surround sound from two speakers.
• Consistent volume level regardless of content via SRS TruVolume.
• Superior "natural" sounding audio from any kind of speaker configuration.
• Small speakers provide louder volume than before possible.
• Crystal clear dialog.
• Bass playback that is both deep and rich.

SRS Premium Sound HD is available now for manufacturers of Windows® and Linux-based PCs. In order to optimize the performance of each notebook model's audio system, SRS engineers work closely with the codec provider and PC manufacturer, taking into consideration each products industrial design, speaker placement, orientation and frequency response resulting in the best possible auditory experience.
