Re: Sound Blaster 16 & AWE: From best to worst

Also, I'm beginning to think that the DAC chip has less to do with self-noise, than whether or not the cards have floating op-amps. Creative's left a number of quad amps on their cards with one or more sections of certain amps floating, which is terrible for noise and power consumption. I have a …

btw Burrito78, the PNG version of your latest chart seems to be just a thumbnail. (PDF version is fine) I have to upload to Imgur for now because Vogons started to recompress PNG and JPG uploads. And yes, the CT2760 uses the CT1701 DAC chip. I will change that with the next update. Regarding the …

Anyone ever seen AWE32 models CT3940 (Value, PnP) or CT3960 (PnP) in the wild? According to several internet lists these versions apparently exist, but I couldn't find anything except for what I already mentioned about them. Would these still have the CT1747 chip /w OPL? edit: There's another card …

Read up this excellent comparison of different Creative Labs cards and their sound quality including recordings of the dreaded single cycle DMA clicking bug: http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2015/05/16-bit-sound-blaster-8-bit-playback.html While the Vibra based cards prevent single cycle DMA …

Re: is the ct2890 a good sound card?

I hope you don't mind me adding to your post, but I didn't want to copy cour thread for asking my own similar question. From what I gathered from a list with issues and versions of the SB16 the CT2290 should be a decent one. Is that correct? Yes, decent for a DOS soundcard and "best of the crop" …

I’m curious, how annoying would you say using the buggiest cards here are? I don’t recall which version of the SB16 I had in 1993, but I do think it had the hanging note bug. I recall exiting games and the last note playing would get stuck requiring a reboot. That didn’t bother me much rebooting …

I have a question to the table. In the line "MPU-401 Hanging Notes bug*" are the first models yellow with the quote "Check DSP version". Ok that i have understand, but what does it mean, "yes, playable" beginning at the CT2230? Does the cards like CT2230, or CT2290 have that bug? And what's the …
