pretty comfy to have only those sound cards available in the market
>>106705045IBM PC speaker sure is a great sound card OP
>>106705045Why?
>>106705055quality, not quantity
>>106705077Half of them were poor quality and still rather costly, the other half were too costly for most consumers to justify.
>>106705091now
>>106705091kek true
>>106705096>now
>>106705101you didn't get it, as expected
>>106705135Get what?
>>106705096>>106705135
>>106705045Gravis UltraSound MAX Master Race checking in
>>106705045I still find it hard to believe how Adlib missed the boat so dramatically.From virtual monopoly to irrelevant in very few years.
For me, it was:Nvidia SoundStorm on nForce2 chipset.
>>106705054https://youtu.be/1IOL4q5tDDQdon't underestimate that shit
>>106706045403mirror?
>>106706045now listen to the theme on literally any other soundcardthe roland mt-32 will make you shit brixyou can make a lot of cool music with basic oscillators but the pc speaker with its single square wave was and always will be craphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27IbVbzUjKs
>>106706045Thanks, but I'll stick to my SC-88.https://files.catbox.moe/divvzz.mp4
>>106706800Neat. Yours?
>>106706887Yeah. In storage right now.
>>106705045no awe32? lame
>>106706895Based
>>106705045Out of those Adlib Gold has the best FM music (but only like 3 games bothered to max it out, all from the same musician) and GUS has the best PCM synth (but has dodgy FM support).MT32 is a joke, SC55/88 are great tho.
>>106706899AWE32 had broken OPL emulation (on most versions? I recall one or two cards actually had the chip, but most others didn't).The PCM part on it was great but most games used the OPL FM.
>>106705077The only one on that list that matched the capabilities of Amiga and Macintosh at the time was the Gravis Ultrasound, and that cost more than your average consumer PC just for the card.
>>106707010And it came out like 7 years after the Amiga.
>>106706974Some models had real OPL chips yeah, AWE is pretty neat when you have a real OPL and lots of onboard memory on the card, best of both worlds.
>>106707120>Some models had real OPL chips yeahYeah, on like, one or two out of 10+ versions, and even on those it sometimes just had the Creative labeled OPL which was their own CQM chip.
>>106707156I've had several with Yamaha chips, no point in even getting an AWE32 without a real OPL.
>>106705045For me it was Gravis UltraSound.I think I still have this CD somewhere.
>>106705135are you implying that the usb audio device somehow doesn't qualify as an audio device?
>>106705045
>>106708289Use case?
>>106706924MT-32 is based, you don't know what you're talking about.>>106708289That's an audio interface, not really the same thing as a 'sound card' which has some kind of synth onboard. In the classical sense.
