LossyWAV I've never tried it but it is supposed to offer transparency. Looks like it will reduce the bit-rate by half in standard mode.

Does the SB Audigy RX work with the original SB Audigy MS-DOS drivers? I know sound fx won't work, but the music might. http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound- … aster-audigy-rx

Do you have the soundcard on IRQ 5? Also, I used a modified config.sys and autoexec.bat from this page when I had a Yamaha YMF-744. http://www.flaterco.com/kb/W98.html

OK, I found out my Terratec Aureon 5.1 is a model 55 CMI-8738. I got a model 33 CMI-8738, and I am able to get FM through the coax spdif cable. But, I can't get PCM through the digital cable, so no sound FX.

I think it might be possible but you have to have a certain old CMI-8738 model. I don't yet know how to identify my revision. From http://alsa.opensrc.org/Cmipci: "IEC958 Mix Analog" - Mix analog PCM playback and FM-OPL/3 streams and output through SPDIF. This switch appears only on old chip models …

I replaced my YMF-744 with a CMI-8738 since I'm going back to Windows 7. I can get OPL working with the analog out in DOSBOX Daum, but not the spdif output. Does anyone have OPL working over spdif on a CMI-8738 (Terratec Aureon 5.1)? I know the spdif output works because mp3s and other pcm sources …

Great quality. So, what are your impressions on the GIMIC FM module? I found a demo showing the inputs, outputs, and software, but it looks like the program is in Japanese. Or do you not need the software for the device to function? G.I.M.I.C demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UttG1WQiPs bonus …
