Hello everybody!
I'm new here. I've been reading this forum for a while now, and after reading/searching for quite a while on the subject involved I finally decided to make an account and ask for help.
It's about choosing a soundcard. This is by far the most difficult part for me in building a retro machine.
I now have this build:
Tualatin 1400S
Voodoo5 5500
Voodoo2 12 MB
512 MB Ram
Audigy 2 ZS
500 GB SSD with converter
Windows 98/XP dual boot
Samsung Syncmaster 950p CRT
I need help with choosing a sound card! I searched and I searched and I just don't know what to do anymore.
For windows 98 and XP games I decided to go with an Audigy 2 ZS, so that part is covered.
But now pure DOS. I want the best soundcard possible for games between 1988 and 1997.
What would be a good choice? I've read that the Audician 32 plus is the best allround choice, but now I just saw a video in comparison with a Dreamblaster S2 and that sounds much nicer....
I really don't know what to do, and I really don't know a lot about soundcards. I read about OPL3 and stuff, I don't even know what all that is. Can somebody just please recommend some really good cards?
Thank you so much!!
