ADG Filler #59 - Sound Blaster Revisions

submitted by ant

7 years 5 months ago

"... Both myself and Brendan take a brief look at the differences between the various Sound Blaster cards utilized through the days of DOS and also answer some interesting yet surprisingly simple questions about them in the process! ..."

Ant had:
1. Original 8-bit
2. 16 + WB2 daughter card addon
3. Live! Platinum (never used its drive part)
4. Audigy 2 ZS (still have it in storage)

Wow this video brought back a lot of nostalgia.
I remember having a 2.0, 16, and an Audigy. Can't remember if I had any others, but my current system has a Zx model.

I miss the old EAX effects the cards could produce, as the modern OpenAL drivers just don't produce the same quality.

Yep. I only had the recent SB sound cards because of their EAX support in games. Since I don't really game and don't have PCI slots to use my Audigy 2ZS, I just use the crappy onboard sound (e.g, RealTek).

Moving this video to ant's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
