unisound isn't quite there yet for CMI8330 chip , CMMIX has some other options too like SB MIXER EMULATION ON/OFF which I am not sure unisound enables or not - or if LOUDNESS option is turned OFF... but 3D is definitely not getting disabled with unisound When I made the recording I posted on the 1st …

oh damn... I have also very recent experiences with DOA chips - one of the worst things that can happen but it is nice that this is moving, hopefully replacement ICs won't be too hard/expensive to find !

Cool! Yours appears to have the waveblaster connect (although i don't think it is WB compatible!) I have 2 of these both without the populated connector. One boxed and an unboxed one. I think one came with 8mb! yeah it's "useless" so no loss I wish I had the manual at least, it would explain some …
