CT4520 AWE64. But not a normal CT4520, as this one obviously has zero memory, and no ROM, not even connectors to allow adding of some memory. Is this the last type of SB16 that creative invented? I suppose one can only get midi music by attaching an external module.

I think what your seeing is maybe a bear bone AWE64 OEM Value Model

I'm wondering if it could be a fake. Either that or it's been stripped of its distinguishing features. The chips could have been taken off and used somewhere else.

I just stumbled on this post. I own one of these cards. the CT4520. I found it in a 486 that I bought off a guy. in my win98 machine it comes up as a sb16 pnp. there are no markings anywhere decaliring it to be any specific model. the copyright is 1999

the big chip is creative ctl 1996 ct8920-nbq 9810ek022

That sale has been for well over a year now I don't think any going to buy at that high price and I'm sure it has no working drivers or just protype drivers

I wonder if the regular AWE64 drivers would work for it?

The only real difference is that the AWE64 Gold II was going to support a 4-speaker setup. The add-on card allowed for some more stuff but I think it would have all pretty much been transparent to the underlying system.. maybe.

It possible that regular AWE64 drivers may work
I think it was only going to be support a 2-speaker setup out the box on main board and look like did have DBL the RAM expansion from 4 to 8MB but with Hardware Dolby Digital decoder that what the CMS2 was for supporting speaker up to 5.1 as I'm not aware of there any other daughter board made for it

As far I can tell there doesn't seem to be any extra pin for 2 more speaker
3 pin = DAC out
4 pin = TAD
9 pin = MB RRO
2 pin = MB Spk
2 more 2 pin Jumper
2 pin = MFBEN Jumper
19 pin = DIG Link
10 pin = AC link
there some other across top those are most likely usually TAD, CD IN, AUX IN and CD_SPDIF IN
