I put a goldfinch in one of my rigs and it took forever to troubleshoot. Turned out it only will work with certain sb16’s such as the CT2970, I tried a bunch of others hoping one with a real opl chip would work but no luck. It also needs -5v rail which took me forever to figure out. I did drill my …

Have you tried using a 44.1khz sampling rate? Maybe windows is upsampling the audio from 8khz to 44.1khz.

I got my card and can report both success but also a slight annoyance I found. I have two ss7 motherboards, the first one I had setup was a Gigabyte GA-5SG100 with the SIS 5591 chipset and a modded bios to allow using the K6-III+.

I tried changing the jumpers on the SB16 to bypass the amplifier and use just a line out and it worked and sounds perfect! I wonder why the internal amp isn't working? With line out enabled the VRs are still super hot. There's a JP1 labeled AUDIO PWB by the amp section/3.5mm connectors which has 7 …

I was rebuilding some old computer parts I have and I tried to use an old CT1750 SB16 card and the drivers install fine but I can’t hear any output. The voltage regulators are getting blistering hot while it’s on. I’m wondering if it could need to be recapped or if it’s just toast. My 2nd card is an …
