Re: Creative CT2890 PnP vs CT2940 (Sound Blaster 16 models)

No, I haven't had a chance to test a PAS16, sorry. I created a small list of test points that are part of my procedure of testing sound cards. * No Distortion in high volume games. * No Oscillation in SBPro high-speed Stereo mode. * No Clicking after sample playback. * No noise from Wavetable header …

Not all games will oscillate when selecting SBPro, but only those who enable the high-speed stereo mode, and when there are actually stereo sounds playing the oscillation is extremely severe. Yes, games that put the card in SBPro high-speed mode without having the option to choose SB16 is …

Alright but not even the simple 3.2kHz filter is emulated properly. Yes, I am aware that only the SB16 has dynamic filtering which changes with the playback frequency. Since I cannot write code, I'm in no position to make further requests. I can only hope someone with the right skills and goals will …

I don't think so. Mixing addresses on 388 Adlib is one thing, but MPU on 330 is a whole different story.

Actually I had this problem before setting the PATH environmental variable in windows as following: C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\local\bin; libogg-0.dll is in my C:\MinGW\bin; directory. I don't think I forgot "--disable-shared" because I just copy and paste straight from the …

The CT2890 is here. No clicking noises in Prince of Persia. Ringing in Tyrian, Descent, MPXPlay, all in SBPro Stereo (high-speed) mode. Distortion in high volumes which can NOT be fixed with the mixer. OPL3 sounds good. Good balance between FM and PCM. 75 SNR (great). Buggy MPU-401, hanging notes …

Games can't adjust the YMF71x mixer. Wolfenstein3D will not have Stereo sound because of this. Doom, Duke3D will not be able to adjust FM Music volume within the game. EDIT: There is a fix for that in THIS thread. The mixer problem is no more. The ESS 1688 is not perfect either. It has some noise …

The logic behind it is quite simple, read the sampling frequency (which the game sets) and apply a sinc filter equation at half the sampling rate. This is exactly what DOSBOX-X does (according to sblaster.cpp notes), but instead they tailored the filter by ear instead measuring it with an analyzer …

Here is a comparison of the hardware SC-55 and SC-VA in SC-55 Map. Doom From 00:09 you can hear a muted Crash Cymbal on the hardware SC-55 (as the composer intended), but on SC-VA it is not muted but freely ringing and has a different sound. From 00:42 there is a Ride Cymbal which sounds completely …

I added the SC-VA version but only the part where the bells are, they are there but quieter. Yes the SC-VA is not perfect in SC-55 mode, but so is the SC-88 (and up) in SC-55 mode. A lot of instrument don't sound the same with newer hardware models in SC-55 mode, even the manuals state so. If you …

Alright I've recorded the ENDGAME.MID using my SC-55 MKII. The tubular bells are there (1:49). They sound exactly the same in SC-VA with SC-55 mode but slightly quieter.
