I was wondering if anyone had any issues getting these two sound cards cards, a Pro-Audio Spectrum 16 and a YMF7x-opl3sa based card to run on fast cpus (100mhz+).
I initially was running a 100mhz Dx4 rig and my PAS16 seemed to be producing really distorted, staticy sounds whenever an effect was played. (To the point you couldn't even make out the proper digital sound). I thought maybe the card was speed sensitive so i tried my Generic YMF7-19 card and it seemed to do the exact same thing. Duke 3D's test program is a great example where if i do the sound-effect test i can't hear anything other then garbage noise.
FM doesn't seem to be affected.
The curious part is if i re-configure my board for a DX2-66, all the issues mysteriously go away, for both cards.
Wish i got a chance to record some samples, but my ATX-AT converter broke so i'm sitting untill a new one gets in.
I did want to try to get my hands on a Creative card to see if that made a diffrence. I can't tell if i just have two speed sensitive cards, or my motherboard is acting screwy with anything over a DX2.
Any thoughts?
