So, installing an SB16- late model, 2950- in order to use it alongside another audio card because I want that sweet stereo sound.
It uh, makes Doom slowdown. Not absurdly bad, but dangit I just bought a new VLB card /specifically/ to speed Doom up and this nerfs it, slowing it to as much as /5300. realtics for 3863 gameticks.
Without sound, 4512.
With the Aztech card, mentioned in another thread, I get around 4700.
Is this just par for the course for these later cards, or am I missing something? This is with EMM386 off and no TSRs running.
E: Turning music off does not change anything, it's digital sound that's causing it.
E2: Aztech card results in.. 4862, double checked that.
Is it simply due to stereo sound requiring more CPU?
