Same experience. I had nothing but trouble with a Sil3112 and ended up buying a Promise SATA150 and everything has been so easy and stable.

The PCMIDI as an addon board is super sexy, looks awesome! Any hint on a potential preorder date Leo? I wasn't joking, I'm really preparing a new build for this card 🤣

Yep that's how I remember them as well, going for the source on wiki they link this page: https://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=10846 Where the CT4740 is indeed labelled "Sound Blaster 16 PCI", but that's the only one. At least the name was used and the wiki article is not *completely …

if thats the case, that could be a lot of the issue there lol. When I googled the model number, I got SB16 as a result One very simple giveaway: your card is PCI and there are no PCI SB16.

Yep, unfortunately Babasha is right, what you got is a rebranded Ensoniq AudioPCI after Creative purchased them :( https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Ensoniq#AudioPCI https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=26252 The bad news is, there's no dedicated FM chip, it's emulated and it sounds like crap. …

Why they didn't use battery holders is beyond me. Like the battery would last forever. Or maybe they figured it would last long enough before the produce was EOL ;) That's exactly what I thought when I opened it, after being spoiled by Roland's devices all having a nice battery holder. Came to the …

yup so that's exactly the same as both my MU80, and once removed, devices would not turn on anymore.

That's interesting. My MU50 works fine without a battery. Interesting indeed as I thought they'd be pretty much the same inside. This is the kind of battery I found in my MU80's, not exactly those obviously but similar style: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1CRFuhSzqK1RjSZFLq6An2XXa8/2Pcs-3V-CR1220- …

Both my MU80 had a soldered battery. I removed it and the unit wouldn't turn on at all, so the battery is part of the circuit and the answer to your question is unfortunately most probably no for the TG300 I suppose. I had a few spare battery holders from another project so soldered that instead and …
