Lately I've gotten curious about the chips on sound cards, and I mean the actual chips themselves. I've tried looking for die shots, and while I have found a few, it's not easy. Either I don't know which chips in a long list got used on sound cards, or I do at least know of a few, but they're not on the list.
Here are the ones I've found so far:
https://siliconpr0n.org/archive/doku.php?id=v … r:creative-tech (basically the various 8051 microcontrollers used on Sound Blaster cards)
https://siliconpr0n.org/archive/doku.php?id=m … yamaha:ymf262-m
https://siliconpr0n.org/archive/doku.php?id=m … ster:intel:8253 (technically not used on a sound card, but still used to generate sound, given it drives the PC Speaker)
What else do you guys know of? Maybe we should compile a list?
