I replied to this about a month ago [as of this post] on LGR's Covox Speech Thing clone Youtube video.
This is what I said, as it is a bit informative, though not over the top information...
It sounds very reminiscent of Amiga MOD tunes in general. Love it, it's amazing how simple of a device can produce such nice rich sampled sounds.
My guess as to why Wolfenstein 3D is not working with the self made Covox is because the Disney Sound Source required additional [DAC bytes] to be sent to an additional control port in order to operate properly. However i'm pretty sure some self made Covox devices emulate Disney Sound Source to get those games to produce sound properly without the need of a Disney Sound Source, though I could be wrong.
Whats neat, is the Disney Sound Source was only $14 USD back when they were first released, and had rudimentary filtering circuitry, which the original Covox Speech Thing did not have.
