Sounds good but has some flaws.
It is an ISA sound card that supports 16bit and SBPro stereo mode.
In DOS it has fixed filter that cannot be disabled unlike the variable filter the real SB16 has of switchable the SBPro has, no HDMA 5 only 0,1,3 so most 16bit games will not work and use the 8bit DMA 1.
Its SBPro mode does support stereo but it is reversed to the real CT1600 card.
Has an authentic OPL3 but it is quieter in comparison to the original SBPro/SB16 so games will sound out of balance, and it is reversed.
Supports Wavetable header and sounds great with just the right balance to the SB output, but it's also reversed to correct Midi playback.
Supports Duke2 sounds.
It is a okay card but falls short if you are spoiled by the real SBPro and SB16 cards and how DOS games meant to be heard.
