Hey everyone, I am starting to learn more about sound cards currently and didn't know what would be the best for both worlds. I know ISA works no problem in DOS and that PCI could be a problem but I did see this post awhile back as well: Guide: Installing Windows 9x and DOS drivers on Audigy cards (version 3.1)
Although that post shows that the Audigy 2 ZS is using a lot of emulation for DOS, I didn't know if I should go this route and just be fine with that, this is my first retro build as well.
Another option is putting both cards in, but I am very new like I said and I know there is a lot of port specifying and programming and whatnot so I feel that one card would be best for a noob like me.
And lastly, what is the difference overall between the AWE64 and Audigy 2 ZS, the core element that really makes it? Also is there something that the AWE64 offers that I would not get out of an Audigy 2 ZS? Thanks everyone and I would really appreciate a helpful response as this card problem I have been brainstorming has been a little crazy. Thanks.
