Re: Picking the right soundcards

Posted on 2012-07-05, 01:45

Makes my head spin when reading through all these threads when trying to figure what is going to work. Don't get too caught up in it. Just play around with cards that seem interesting... you'll run across some that suck, some that sound good, some that sound good but are a pain in the ass to set up …

The Yamaha card may technically be better in some ways, but the ESS card might be worth a try first. FM sound is pretty subjective, and I personally like the ES1688 sound. It's different from a real OPL3, sure, but different isn't necessarily bad. Another nice thing about the ES1688 is that it's non …

It looks to me like that cache stick says 'PCChips' up in the top right corner. That doesn't necessarily mean it's for that particular PCChips board, but it's possible it's just a different version of the M919 cache module...

@ncmark Looks like you edited the post, but your original assertion was about right.

Sounds like you have one of the oddball OEM cards. I've never used one of those, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to be set up... but knowing Creative, I'd suspect it might require some OEM-specific software.

Can you tell what's wrong with the bad keys? Like, is the rubber piece degraded, or has the spring lost its... spring...ness? It could just need a clean and lube... I've had some heavily-used "true" mechanical keyboards that felt like crap until I took apart the switches and hit 'em with some …

Re: Suggestions for inductors

Posted on 2012-06-29, 15:07

I'm guessing you're talking about these things ? Those indeed are high-current power inductors, probably 0.45 to 0.6uH assuming the markings are anywhere close to the standard notation. The current ratings are a bit trickier to determine, since they're not usually marked... but as long as you get …
