Used Sound card PCI, Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (SB0220)

A representative of the famous Sound Blaster line. The heart of SB Live! was the powerful digital signal processor (DSP) EMU10K1, which in terms of pure computing performance surpassed the SB AWE64 processor by 27 times! At that time, it was even compared to the Intel Pentium, dedicated specifically for sound processing. EMU10K1 is capable of outputting or recording sound with a sampling rate of up to 48 kHz @ 16-bit using Creative's new technology - an eight-point interpolation system. SB Live! received full support for hardware acceleration of the DirectSound, DirectSound3D and EAX APIs. As for MIDI, although this standard for representing music in games has already lived out its last days, Creative took its support with all responsibility. SBLive! supports simultaneous playback of up to 256 instrument channels, 64 of which are hardware. WT synthesis technology uses instrument banks from 2 to 32 MB, which are stored in system memory.
