Azfin AZF3318 sound card? Is it any good?

I've been browsing IdleFish for ISA sound cards and found a card never heard before, the Azfin AZF3318. I googled it and found that Azfin is a joint-venture between Aztech and Fincitech, so this AZF3318 is basically Aztech right? Since AZT2320 has a genuine OPL3 core, I'm interested in this later …

While setting up the machine I found a serious problem with sound card. I installed Vortex 2 2041 driver, and every time I use WMP9 and I click on "Play" menu, the computer hangs. If I insert a CD, the WMP9 will run automatically and the computer hangs. Also if I open up "Multimedia" in control …

Re: Creative CT2770 - What are these jumpers for?

I am thinking that JP17 actually connects line out to the card's port, so it may be possible to get line out from that header.. I will test that theory out once I get the card. If anyone has it, can you please check? I found this post and it seems that JP16 and JP17 are line out. JP16 pin 2 to 5 …

I actually have the original manual for my CT2770, however, it didn't mention these jumpers (JP16, JP17 and JP18). A quick google showed that these jumpers are undefined and set by factory. On my card though, the JP17 is set connected.

Good call on the CT2770 and glad I had a good idea for a change. Don't use that Voodoo 3 at 166MHz if you will keep that cooler, it won't survive for long unless you add a fan on top. Yeah, thanks for the idea! Of course I won't use that tiny cooler alone. I've ordered a PCI slot cooler (two 8cm …

Update: ct2770.jpg I decided to use this CT2770 anyway... Since I use Vortex 2 to (really) enjoy music, the filtering problem of this card is not really a problem. The CT1747 chip sounds fantastic! v3 2000 agp.jpg flashed bios.jpg Got this Voodoo3 card. According to the seller and the memory chip …

Use an AWE64. :lol: Why didn't you go for a period-correct case? I need authentic OPL3! As for the case, well, I just don't want to bother with finding one and cleaning it. There are also much shorter SB16 Value cards like the CT2770. I do have one but the one I got uses noiser CT1703-T codec... …

Since I started my hobby of collecting cool pieces of hardware last year, I've had many motherboards, CPUs, sound card and other stuff lying around. Many of them were tested for once and then started collecting dust. So I think maybe I should sell some of them... and trade for (maybe) something even …

Go for 3,5cm PCI height riser. Thanks for your help! You're so kind! Can you point me to where you read about adding capacitors to PCI riser boards? I read it here , but I don't think it will be affected if you're not using t5720 or maybe t5710. The official card (and expansion cover) are available …

I recently bought an HP thin client t5720, but had really hard time finding a PCI expansion module. I noticed that there're generic PCI riser cards readily available with 3 different lengths (2.5cm, 3.5cm and 4.7cm) but I can't figure out which to buy (can't be the 2.5cm one though). …

Problem solved. It was my using too little memory (64M x2) that caused Windows PE not booting. And the CF card I used to install Windows XP initially was too slow for it.

MSI was using some pretty terrible caps around the time this board was made. Check them too... All the capacitors are in good shape. 8 Rubycon MBZ caps (with T prefix) were used for CPU VRM and most of other caps were SANYO, except 4 taller Elite 16V caps and one small TAYEH cap near southbridge. …
