I had no idea that the Tandy SN76496 sound chip could produce output like this in games :

All great sounding Rob Hubbard tunes, done some justice compared with the C64 originals. My friend Cloudschatze asked me to test these games on my Tandy 1000SX, which does not have a DAC chip (and I certainly did not have a Sound Blaster installed). He recorded them on a Tandy 1000RL, which has a DAC chip. The result on my Tandy is identical to his recordings, so the tunes do not use the DAC. DOSBox's output is markedly wrong when it comes to the output of the digital samples.
