If you want sound with your SB16 you must use vgm from games wich use one of those chips (oh wait it's the same list described in the SBVGM.TXT ...) - YM3526 (OPL) - YM3812 (OPL2) - YMF262 (OPL3) - Y8950 (MSX-Audio) - YM2413 (OPLL) - RP2A03 (NES APU with limited features) Any other vgm will produce …

Defender of the Crown is for Tandy 1000, the SB16 can't play this. The 2 others VGM are for YM2612 (Genesis), the SB16 can't play thoses too. The geneis VGM can be played with the texelex SAAYM (with limitations) For Tandy 1000, you need real hardware (i think i'm not familiar with this system)

Forget the 330H, sbvgm doesn't support midi, internal or external like your daughter board. With a SB16 valid options are only 388h (opl2) or 220h(opl3).

Please try DN3D with SB16 for music and not General Midi (sbvgm doesn't support afaik GM). OPL2/3 port is 388h or 220h by default for a SB16.

I have an idea for an upcoming version of ORPHINIT that makes creative use of some features of the CS4237 to give you what you want: a clean, purely-digital bitstream for OPL3 and PCM audio with no SRS or analogue noise. I can't tell you when that release will be ready, but be sure to watch this …

Hi, i recently got this card (Acer Magic S30) and i can't get it work properly. The synth part FM (220h) or daughterboard (330h) work as intended. The audio part is always failing with DMA part. IRQ is instable too, sometimes it's IRQ 5 or 7. Diagnose.exe from my SB16 always fail at the DMA …

Hi, Just received my TexElec SAAYM and did some testing with YM2151 tunes in my old 386. It's working great ! Is there anyway, maybe in future, to combine the SAAYM with a simple SoundBlaster in order to play both YM2151 and PCM parts (many YM2151 tunes uses SegaPCM/OKIM6295 for the PCM parts) ? …
