Same here!

On the other hand, there's this picture which looks pretty much the same:

For sale in an unknown condition, seller names it Aztech Nova 16 ExtraII-3D (CS4231). Could it be an Aztech model that provides Covox and DSS emulation?

CT1748-SBP is an Advanced Signal Processing (ASP) chip. It's an additional one and is not required by Creative Labs cards to operate properly. It is normal that it's missing on your card. As for card resources - did you try changing them within CTCU.EXE? If you don't have three or four ISA sound …

I have bought two copies of Windows 8 (there was a promo action where you buy it for $40 as an upgrade to Win7 or Vista) only to realise it weren't the best eighty bucks I spent in my life. I am too lazy to reinstall Win7 though, but the wife already demanded her Vista back and I did it :( Though I …

Is that a Cooler Master Cosmos EATX case there, tayyare? Do you use it for your retro-rig?

Neither AWE64 nor AWE64 Gold have waveblaster connectors. Those connectors on AWE64 Gold are for memory expansion board. €190 for a DB50XG is really ridiculous, I have seen one being sold recently for £25. NEC clones are as cheap as $8 at taobao.com.

Some prices on ebay I consider inadequately high, but not concerning rare items like CM-32L or LAPC-I. Listen to Mau1wurf1977, and don't hope the prices would go down - they won't. Last three months I haven't seen any CM32L on sale, and saw only one CM32LN, it was sold last week.

I am nearly out of possible advices. If I were you, I'd check for a few more options though: - show me your autoexec.bat/config.sys contents for inspection; - seek out for some forgotten drivers from other soundcards that could interfere; remove the unneeded drivers; - possibly install the card into …

Do you use Line out or Speaker out? Did you try both of them with same result?

I have a CT2760 and experience no such troubles. And yes, FM is routed through EMU8000 on a CT2760. But there might be good news: "CPAWE17C.ZIP 16-Apr-1996 00:00 7.4K CP AWE wavtbl driver 1.7c player add. driver AWE wavtbl drv v1.7c AWE wavetable driver update -removes strange left/right channels …

I am afraid you both are experiencing some kind of EMU8000 chip malfunction. There's even an explanation for one of you having this kind of a problem only with wavetable music, and other with both FM and wavetable. The thing is that on some AWE32 models the OPL/FM output is routed through EMU8000 …

As for sound cards, it heavily depends on the variety of games you are going to play. As you could notice, many Vogons dwellers have multiple soundcards and external sound modules. If you don't plan going deep into soundcards topic for now, I'd suggest to stick with a SB16-compatible Creative Labs …

I have a P3B-F rev. 1.04 (no chipset heatsink), it runs the Pentium3-933 SL4BT at 133Mhz bus clock, with Radeon 8500 at 89Mhz, and everything works this way.

So, AWE music plays only in left channel, while FM/OPL music plays in both, did I get it correctly? Replug your speakers/headphones jack into the card to make sure that's not an unstable jack connection. Try playing AWE music outside of DIAGNOSE. If the problem persists, that might be a broken AWE32 …

You don't need to download CTMIDI.DRV, it is a part of SBBASIC package and located at C:\SB16\DRV folder (provided that you installed SBBASIC to C:\SB16 folder). Your problem is that DIAGNOSE.EXE requires CTMIDI.DRV to be in the same folder for AWE synthesized music test to work. You have either to …

It would be nice to possess some information on NS chips on CT1350B cards with no revision. What's the price of NS GALs against Lattice anyway?
