Hello everyone,
Im having a bit of trouble identifying this card.
On the back has BTC engraved so obviously is a btc card, and the moxart chip together with the yamaha controller on top seems to be suporting opl1.
However the "Crystal" chip is different from every other card i've been finding on the interwebs.
Thanks in advance,

It is MOZART, not MOXART.

The yamaha chip is OPL3.

Crystal CS4321 codec, which is virtually identical to the Analog Devices AD1848 codec used in the Windows Sound System cards. This chip also added an alternative method of 16-bit digital playback.

So your card is a Mozart 16 with an upgraded Codec chip.

Should work just fine with the standard Mozart 16 drivers. They should be available on vogonsdrivers.com.

Card is a BTC 1820 .
As cyclone3d said, CS4231 and AD1848 are essentially interchangeable .
See https://www.philscomputerlab.com/btc-1820-moz … oak-oti601.html
for original BTC provided drivers .

Thank you sir very much for the info!
I was so exited today when I got it that in the rush to find out more I was panicking since it wasn't exactly like the one Phil had in one of his videos , hence the misspelling ...twice 😵
Cannot wait for the weekend to test it !
Also thanks @darry 😀

If anyone is reading this, yeah, i couldn't make it work. I think its broken.
When installed in my old pc, doesn't get detected, tried changing a few settings in the bios to no avail.
I think some of the capacitors are gone, not knowing how to properly troubleshoot it and not having to much time this period, i thought i might give it away.
So, if anyone wants it, just pays for shipping, 10 euro. Europe only.
thanks
