Hi,

I recently bought these two cards but can't find much information about them, can you help me identifying them and the drivers I should use?
Thank you 😀

Based on some Internet sleuthing around, card on the left appears to be GVC Corporation S-16WP/L and its associated daughtercard.

FCC ID sticker on the back of the card gives it away, see elsewhere on the Internet:

I bought that card + DB combo a while back for the DB, which is a really nice one despite its small sample size. I tossed the card but have since regretted it, having since developed a liking for the later Crystal chipsets.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

What OS?
There is this one:

Or this one:

Or the ones included with Windows.

Just treat it like a generic CS4236 based card. The daughterboard does not have any driver, it does not need one.

I mated the daughter board with Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and liked the MIDI quality. The sound quality from the main card was horrible.

I have the same combo and from what I understand, it was installed in some IBM Aptivas. Not sure if I ever tested mine so far 😊

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

In which way? The same chip is used on the high end EWS64 XL. On the right PCB it can give exceptional sound quality.

Well it could be on the wrong PCB 🙄 Or my particular sample is a dud 😵
