Hello everyone, I'm a musician and would need a better sound card. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Win98se : K6-3+ 500MHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Matrox Millennium G400 MAX, Voodoo 2, SW1000XG.

Adlib Gold should have you covered, but I prefer the Atari ST for composing MIDI. Amiga has awesome PCM capabilities as well.

I attach one speaker wire to address line A19 and the other to GND. 😎
