C-Cube doesn't make a an audio chip, they put it in the mpeg decoder................. Message 10470963 In the consumer "integrated" audio market, the report ranks C-Cube Microsystems first, followed by ST Micro and ESS Technology -- all driven by the VideoCD and set top box markets. In the consumer "audio-only" IC market, Yamaha maintains its number-one position, followed by Cirrus Logic, Motorola, AKM, Zoran and Burr-Brown. In the PC audio market, Cirrus Logic ranks first, followed by ESS Technology, Creative Labs and Yamaha. According to the report, Yamaha still has the number-one market position in the professional audio chip market, followed closely by Cirrus Logic. Other players in the professional audio chip market include (in share order) Motorola, Analog Devices, AKM and Burr-Brown. The report notes that DSP-based chips account for 60% of the revenue in the professional Audio IC market, while codecs, DACs, ADCs and other mixed-signal chips constitute the other 40%.
