Thinking about the getting the Mx-300 sound card but was wondering if it's THAT much better than the SB Live in Win98, which I currently have.
Foxconn Q45M E8400 Core2 Duo 3GB DDR2 800 BFG Geforce 7950GT 512MB X-Fi Xtreme Music 500W XP SP3
Intel SE440BX P3 450 256MB 40GB Voodoo 3000 16MB SB 32pnp 350W 98SE
MSI x570 Gaming Pro Carbon Ryzen 3700x 16GB DDR4 Zotac RTX 3070 8GB WD Black 1TB 650W
Both nice cards - A3D is fun but not a must have. And the MX300 has a wavetable header which is also fun but then you have easy sound fonts on the Live!
In saying that I'd still rush out and buy a Vortex2 based card because more sounds cards = better quality of life 😀
Life? Don't talk to me about life.
I had a Monster Sound MX300 back in the day, still have it along with a bunch of 3rd party Aureal cards (some with optical out). The MX300 does have a wavetable output which I connected something to (forget what I used) and the back header goes to a digital coax out board which I never bothered to get. Some Gateway OEM Boston Acoustics speakers of the era use coax digital inputs from what I remembered.
A3D is fun to mess with and quite a few games used it.
