Re: MK8330 : new soundcard based on the CMI 8330 chipset
Posted on 2022-05-13, 11:52
From my recollection, at least with the CMI-8738, FM playback through the SPDIF output is an analog-to-digital signal. So, the recorded audio waveform will never look as good as pure digital like the YMF7x4 cards.
Re: Ensoniq AudioPCI problems
Posted on 2022-05-06, 23:31
On my 2 retro computers, I could only get the AudioPCI to work on my fast Celeron PC in Windows 98SE's command.com by doing these 2 things. Enabling the parallel port in the BIOS. Enable sharing IRQ 7 in the sound card driver settings, (enabled by default). I could never get MS-DOS to detect the …
Re: Suprised by how good the AWE64 is, sc-55 upgrade worth it?

There are 2 MIDI files that only sound correct on the AWE-32 at the bottom of this page Techno Toys Samples. They don't sound correct even with Foobar2000, XMPlay, SC-VA due to advanced usage of AWE-32 specific NRPNs.

I always thought the Audigy AudioHQ wouldn't work from on SBLive, since the SBLive has half the microcode registers. Does the Audigy reverb algorithm work on SBLive? EDIT: Nevermind, I saw the other post where you found AudioHQ from another SBLive CD that works with the Audigy drivers.

Value of 0 is what I see for Note Off on the MIDI captures I did with real hardware from Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2.

Re: Sound Blaster Live! (CT4830) SB16 DOS emulation issue
Posted on 2022-04-17, 12:31
If you enable the LPT port in the BIOS you should be able to enable LPT sharing in the sb emulation dialog in device manager. For my AudioPCI, I have the LPT port on 378 and normal mode.

According to DSP-assisted Audio Effects & Latency, only the high-end Audigy 2 ZS Platinum cards can apply different amounts of effects in different amounts to each track, versus only global effects that the budget cards support.

Nice graphics, music, and game play. I went up to level 8 before losing. I did encounter one glitch when I entered I think level 5 or 6. The piece didn't move down until I pressed the down key on the keyboard.
