When using standoffs, the hole closest to the waveblaster connector is not used in most cases (the Turtle Beach Rio is an exception; it comes with four standoffs which are not in my photos on https://waveblaster.nl ). I once measured the Roland SCB-55, which is 138.4 x 89.9 mm. This is one of the …

I was told by the initiator and sponsor of this project that the parts were extremely difficult to source and come mainly from China. A significant amount of time and money was invested. He actually had several other daughterboards (including SCC-1 and SCC-1A versions) and several ISA soundcards …

The repair fixes it for me, but only until the next reboot of Windows 10.... I hope there will be an updated version.

...but at an analog level something very different is going on, with yours being more bass-heavy with less clarity in the top. Could this be the sound card? (SB16 filtering?)

So I made recordings of both my Ensoniq DB revisions A and B. During recording I noticed that the signal level on the right channel of the rev A board was rather low, much lower than the left channel.

It is indeed just a check. As long as the installation runs after that, you're fine. Unfortunately the serial number on the cd inlay either was never printed on it or the ink disappeared throughout the years. I just tried installing with the serial number from my other Turtle Beach products and …
