What the hell do you waving with IEC-958 in front of my nose? Does CMI8330 make digital 44kHz 16bit? Yes, it does. Does it sound? Yes. It sounds excellent. I'm hearing it very good and don't care if it respects IEC-958 or not. It sounds good and has good compatibility, I don't need anything more. …

Orpheus has not real S/PDIF output because CS4237 has not. CMI8330 has. I made tests with TB Malibu and AV310. Malibu doesn't give clear digital sound via S/PDIF and background noise is present always, it's ADC. CMI8330 gives clear sound and after playing I even see on my receiver's panel that PCM …

If PCI I would also suggest Yamaha YMF7x4 XG . For ISA, what Joseph said. YMF719-F , you can still find them at nice prices. You can try PCI CMI8738 , it has SBpro SB16 and FM.

There are differences. I have both version A and C. Version A does not have 3D Sound on chip. While version C already has. I never seen a version B. I guess HT1869V is just a relabel of version C. These chips have good compatibility, but current design makes them noisy. I guess there is no ADPCM …

Hi! You don't need, pcmidi is for uart and intelligent midi. It's an extra part that will be useful with mt32 pi from serdashop. Otherwise you can use it just with crystal midi.

So, you say that ADPCM is not that relevant? What are the workarounds that were mentioned above? Because it seems that the only things creative introduced were ADPCM 2.6 and a few problems, that didn't work so well. Using ADPCM 2.6 would make people stuck only with creative cards. Was that a way to …

Hi All! After reading a few posts around here, I find many people giving big importance to ADPCM, mainly in Duke Nukem 2. This game in particular uses Creative ADPCM instead of IMA standard. Fact that makes some clone cards not working with some sounds reproduced in ADPCM 2.6 format. Also I see , …

People must understand that Yucatan or Cancun FX were not made to be a Roland clone. They were made for enthusiasts, not professionals. So some sounds may be differently equalized. More bassier than original Roland. There may be also some other changes. I just say that this card is excellent for …
