Which Crystal chipset? Generally they’re very good in my experience.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Must be some CS423x, which I wouldn't call "very good", more like "average".
Yet another highly-integrated SBPro+WSS clone, does work, but there's nothing spectacular about it.

By AIDA64 its CS4232, but if there is other info program to check it, i will do it, HWinfo is unable find anything, in manual is nothing. Only Crystal 3D. Unknow device identifier show 4236.

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

I don't think 4236 is "3D" - 4237 added SRS "3d" and 4238 added q-sound
My money is on 4237

If possible, set your DOS software to Windows Sound System - it's 16-bit.
If not, Sound Blaster Pro also works, but it's 8-bit.
