Hello all,
I've started a legacy gaming PC build, but I need a little guidance. The issue is choosing the right sound card. I currently have a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 in there, and although it plays all my games (from Wolf3D to Duke Nukem), I've noticed some issues. E.g. Wolf3D sound will slow down when running up to walls and hitting spacebar, Dark Forces issues with sound FX on top of music, Dark Forces music sounds like crap, etc.
Therefore, I'm going back to the drawing board. I've been reading that I need to ditch PCI, so I'll be picking up a new motherboard with ISA soon.
Can anyone recommend a good sound card to play vintage games? Here are some of the older games I'm looking to play:
- Wolf 3D / Spear of Destiny
- Doom, Doom 2
- Challenge of the Ancient Empires (yeah...don't laugh)
- Dark Forces
- Quake
Money is not an issue, as I want to buy right the first time. Any and all help is certainly appreciated. Thanks!
