I'm thinking of doing some part swapping between my 486DX4's, and I've often heard folks here discussing that some of Creative's Sound Blasters are better at some things than others.
Personally, I've always just thought of a Sound Blaster 16 as an SB16, one of the best cards for DOS game compatibility, and have had good luck with them in the past.
So, while I have my Main 486 open, I was thinking, of the Sound Blaster 16s I've got, what would be the best to use?
(And before anyone mentions "Sound Blaster Pro is the best", I have a SBP2.0 CT1600, but it doesn't seem to be working right. I might try it in the 486, and if it works, I might use that.)
I have:
CT1740 (with the volume knob!)
CT2230 (Currently installed)
CT2960 Vibra 16C
And another Vibra that's in my K6-2 400. but it's even newer than the last, so probably not worth mentioning.
And I also have these cards, but not sure if they'd do anything better:
AcerOpen FX-16 (ESS Audiodrive RS1868F)
AcerOpen FX-3D (Analog Devices Soundport AD1816JS)
MediaVision Jazz16 (not sure what model, has a single IDE plug, a place where a volume dial was, and another chip onboard labeled "Spectrum MVA416")
Any suggestions?
