Pardon me if it's against etiquette to resurrect such an old post, but I thought I'd share some images I'd taken off of my Logitech Soundman Games box etc.

I know the image of the Install Guide and Manual are pretty useless by themselves, but I thought I'd share them anyway.

If someone's interested in knowing more, I'm happy to elaborate if I can. I haven't actually used the card since latter half of the 90's, but can't remember having any issues with the card.

I just acquired this sound card a little while ago and been happy with it so far, however doesn't seem to support 44kHz rate at least in Heroes 1 though, maybe the game uses stereo and the Jazz8 chip is limited to higher rates in mono only after all? This card was included in a sound card round-up in Finnish computer magazine Mikrobitti and it got praised for being a budget choice with an excellent game support and 16-bit 44kHz sampling, so maybe I'm just missing something?

If the manual has any explanation for the CDROM/CDA0... etc. jumpers and whether the output is amplified or if there's a way to switch it, I'd be interested in those 😀

Based on what I could find around the place, the Jazz8 is essentially a SB Pro 2 compatible chip which means 22Khz stereo or 44Khz mono. A separate 44Khz/16bit stereo codec had to be added for higher rates like the AudioWave/Edison Platinum 16.

The material posted above also only mentions SB Pro compatibility.
