I have a couple of ISA sound cards here, mid-to-early 90's era, that look physically excellent (one is NOS) but which don't work 100%. Both produce FM fine from both channels, but one will only produce a digital voice form the left channel and the other can only muster a barely audible digital voice from either channel. These are creative / ESS cards that I know well so I'm confident I'm setting them up correctly - I've tried them in different machines and different slots in each machine and cleaned all of the relevant contacts multiple times. No change. And they both behave the same regardless of whether I use the line out or speaker out jack.
I don't want to just toss them - is it possible that new caps are in order?
Life? Don't talk to me about life.
