I think a CT2760 I have is about to give up the ghost. The EMU8K gets too hot to touch for more than a second or two, and there are no digital effects, just music.
This is a card that I recently acquired that I thought tested fine, but when going back to it, I discovered this problem. I had the computer on when I plugged in an audio cable, so maybe there was some ESD, but I don't think so. But there was a loud squealing noise that made me check the EMU8K and then turn off the computer.
The card is recognized by UNISOUND when booted up, and it does play music, but after running a while, I start to get memory errors when I try to load a new DOS game. No squealing sound. Then upon reboot, UNISOUND says it cannot detect a Creative non-PNP card. After cooling off a little while, it can be detected again.
I don't have any soldering skills, so I'm guessing that there's not much I can do for this classic card?
