Is there an FCC ID written on it?

I am not sure? i will open the PC and have another look.... i don't recall seeing anything printed on the PCB.

Here is another pic of the same card... this shows the radio card attached:

Thanks for the link! there does not seem to be any FCC ID number on this sound card 😖 ... after more looking it could also be an Aztech sound 4 or sound 3 card! I may as well bin this one and buy a Yamaha OPL3 based ISA card 😁

At least the chip number is correct. DOS drivers are also availible on this site.

It's strange how it says AZT2320 on the chip but in the windows device manager it is showing AZT3002 PnP (listed about 5 times.... with a question mark as i cannot find any drivers for this thing!)

Did you try the driver above?

The above driver did not work... it won't even install 😢 But i think i may have fopund the right drivers 😀

After lots of searching i found AZT3002 drivers and the description was "PB Aztech Rocky2 sound/modem ISA card" which is also known as "PB Aztech Sound III ISA".

I will give these drivers a go and see what happens... I have never used an Aztech sound card and don't know if they are any good? do they provide good SB support?

Ok i found the right drivers for this sound card (it has a few different names 😖 ) I have decided that this particular model sucks.

I will be getting rid of it and the radio board attached to it.... probably end up in the bin as it really is crap! It works fine under Windows 95 but it completely freaks out when setting it up to run any Dos based games. The music detection is fine but when any game tries to detect the digital audio it just crashes.... and sometimes with a blue screen no matter what sound device i select in any game!

It is not sound blaster friendly and it hates Dos! I have tried a few different driver versions and they all do the same.... oh well i am just going to have to find another sound card 😖

Maybe quit Windows before starting DOS games.

I have tried! I rebooted into Dos mode and the same thing happens!

I am getting another ISA sound card. I can't decide between an ESS 1868F (SC8600 LITE - Maxi Sound 64 Dynamic 3D) or a Yamaha YMF719 (OPL3)..... i need it to be fully Sound Blaster compatible (SB Pro or SB16). I could get another ISA Sound Blaster but i don't really like the sound quality much... and SB midi is terrible!

What would you suggest? (needs to be a cheap easy to find ISA sound card with good SB support) I am leaning towards Yamaha as my Yamaha 724 PCI card is great in my other P3 system 😉

I decided to buy the ESS 1868F based sound card with Dream wavetable chip (Maxi Sound 64 Dynamic 3D ISA) I am just hoping i made the right choice!! It only cost me £2.99 from ebay so if it's crap then at least i dont lose out on much 😁

Instead of opening a new topic, I'm putting an unidentified sound card here.

So, here it is.

It's fully loaded with 74LS* ic (which is a ttl gate ic), so it's a kind of isa covox, or at least that's what I think.

What's your idea guys?

Looks like some kind of Adlib clone? the big chip might be an OPL chip...

The 74LS74 and 74LS631 labels are fake. My suspicion: The large chip is some sort of synthesizer, and the "74LS74" its DAC. Maybe some sort of Adlib clone.

Thx for the replies.

I also thought that the big ic must be some kind of an OPL2 chip (clone), but why would somebody fake a chip to some other (in that case also unusable and "less advanced")?

Labeling some low cost ic to some more expensive one, is a "better" way of faking something, then this way. 😖

Also forgot to take a photo of the other side of the card. There is only the warranty label, and based on that, the card was made around the first half of '92.

Might be an attempt to hinder reverse engineering. Or to hide patent violation.

seems like an Adlib clone to me...

Well, you were right. I've tried it yesterday.
It's a simple adlib clone, so nothing interesting. 😒
