Ok, so I've finally found a Retro-Gaming-PC config that I'm happy with, but I'm not entirely happy with the Sound Quality of my AWE64 CT4380 Card.
Basically the wave output sounds like it's 8-bit, but the card claims to be 16-bit. I didn't have this problem with the AWE64 CT4520 I had back in 2001.
For example: If I playback an MP3, sounds like ultra-low quality streaming audio.
However: If I swop out the AWE64 for a cheap C-Media CMI8738 everything is crystal clear.
So I'm wondering, is this a driver or configuration issue, or is it just that the CT4380 is an AWE64 Value?
I thought the only difference between the CT4520 and the CT4380 was the color coded ports and the 1mb RAM vs 512K.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Please Help
Oh and I'm running Win98SE btw.
Thanks. 😀
