This is another Soundcard comparison video!

Thanks for the feedback on "Sound Card comparison - Digital Speech - DOS Game Wing Commander II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Zj1sioBBk", I took some ideas onboard and implemented them in this video.

This time the video will "switch" every 5 seconds to the next card. It makes for a much better comparison!

I have a 320kbps mp3 for download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?x772rvdwpbgx8gh

I have used FM music from The Secret of Monkey Island 2. It's a very popular game, so chances are you are familiar with the music.

The Soundcards used in this video are:

- Sound Blaster 1.5
- Sound Blaster Pro 2.0
- Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold

Very interested to have a discussion about the differences and what your favourite Soundcard is!

  • That's the thing. In terms of playing the game with different sound options, Monkey Island 2 only has settings for PC Speaker, Adlib and MT-32.

    The Pro Audio Spectrum also has an OPL chip, so it will sound just like a Sound Blaster or Adlib card.

  • Yes, CMS is fascinating!

  • Yea it's very close between these two... To me the SBP 2.0 sounds a bit cleaner.

see all

  • I actually have soundblaster 1.5 and It's still pretty good! Gives back the old memories :)

  • No Pro Audio Spectrum? :)

  • Favorite? SB 16, because that's only real SB I have :)

  • This is a great video Mau1wurf1977. Really informative!

    Best EV

  • Oooh, you've got the CMS chips! :D

  • Seems to me like the AWE64 Gold has less filtering than either the SoundBlaster 1.5 or SoundBlaster Pro 2.0.

    Might be because the SoundBlaster AWE64 Gold does not use a real YM3812 or YMF262 for FM Synthesis(the YM3812 is used on the SoundBlaster 1.5, relabeled FM 1312 by Creative, and the YMF262 is used on the SoundBlaster Pro 2.0), but rather a clone of the YMF262 developed by Creative: the CQM YMF262 clone. It's not perfect, but it's not too bad. It's better at OPL2 than OPL3, though.

  • Enjoy^^
