Hello friends,
Today I showcase a cheap soundcard that features the Aztech AZT2320 sound controller. Due to a license agreement with
yamaha, this IC has an built in orginal yamaha fm synth - and that of course is great for DOS-gaming!
Sound quality is very good as well, no noise issues. Bt the card has a major drawback: I recognized that its Soundblaster Pro
compatibility isn't 100%. In some games I had to select Soundblaster (non-pro) instead.
But, if you can get one for small money, take it! Some OEM-cards come in this triangular shape, but there are classic rectangle
cards out there as well. If you lucky, you may even find one with a populated and quite rare samsung wavetable.
Recording Setup:
QDI Legend (Intel BX) with Pentium II 400 Mhz. Soundcard installed on the outer ISA-Slot. Initialized with unisound 0.81. Default unisound mixer-settings.
Analogue-record with Terratec DMX 6fire USB Audio interface unsing Audacity, 48khz 32 bit float. Comressed to 256kbit MP3 using lame-enc.
The music in this video is generated by the cards FM-Synthesizer.
It is played for demonstration purposes only.
Playlist:
00:00 Doom II Track No 3
01:57 Doom II Track 33 (readme)
06:46 The Whale's Voyage - Music from the Planet Nedax
09:59 Descent II Setup / Credits Music
12:21 Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo - Chun-Li's Theme
