Yamaha YMF719 with the filter fix is a damned good card according to quite a number of us on VOGONS and beyond:

Re: Yamaha YMF71x SB Pro Mixer Bug Issue Fix

Add in a DreamBlaster and it’s a force to be reckoned with for DOS gaming.

The Yamaha and ESS chips are good, but depending on the model of card, you might have problems with noise or sound quality. That isn't a problem with the chips themselves, though.

I've never heard of the SiS 6202, but if you have all of the video cards you listed, try them and see how they perform. The S3 Trio series was common and known for good performance and compatibility.

the ad1816's guaranteed awful (noise and pitch issues) so you can safely exclude that one.

Thanks for info . Im stuck with cd rom now . 🤣

If DOS only, the S3s will be completely interchangeable in terms of performance; go with the one with best picture quality (an issue as low end cards with S3 chips tend to have a 'washed out' look). SiS 6202 isn't terrible, but its VESA compatibility doesn't come close to S3's, and cards sporting it tend to be even lower end than the bottom of the S3 barrel.

For the sound, the perfect card doesn't exist and it's a matter of which compromise is most relevant to you and the games you play.

I agree the AD1816's awful. Crystal chips tend to be decent, but the CS4235 is an exception, its FM synth is bugged to the point of almost as bad as the AD.

The rest could be decent depending on the exact card:
- YMF71x have perfect OPL3 FM, good SBPro2 compatibility, bug-free MIDI and WSS support for 16b audio.
- ES186x have ESFM OPL3-clone (decent but different), good SBPro2 compatibility, bug-free MIDI but only proprietary (and hardly supported) AudioDrive for 16b audio.
- Vibra 16C depends strongly on exactly which one. In any event you get Sound Blaster 16 16b audio and at least one kind of MIDI hanging note bug, plus Vibra hissing and ringing. You may also get more severe hanging notes, bad self-noise and nasty metallic CQM FM synthesis.

I'd personally tend to one of the YMF chips, but actual card desgin could make one of the ESS-based cards better. Depends on models and condition they are in.

Wow thanks for such detailed reply . Anyway I got stuck with cd rom , found that such ancient hardware doesn't support boot from cd rom and it makes things more complicated.

You can use PlopBootManager which provides CD-ROM (and more) boot support for motherboards which doesn't support it natively.

It can be installed on floppy.

Yamaha and ESS are great sound card, in my 486 I use YMF719. Both S3 virge and S3 trio are good choice, S3 trio is maybe a bit faster in pure DOS.
