| What sound card are you guys using in your mame cabinets? |

I bought a cheap PC which has a bunch of stuff built into the motherboard (like audio). I noticed a few games stuttering so I thought maybe a stand alone sound card would help. Got a cheap sound blaster PCI 128 and it's even worse than the on board sound!!! Useless piece of junk. The computer is an Athlon 2000+ XP. I'm seeing the stuttering on puzzloop (Europe edition) mostly, it's pretty bad. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive card for MAME that works well? I'm not really wanting to spend $100 on this if possible. Thx, Andy |

I use a Soundblaster 16 ISA and don't have any audio problems at all. My other cabinet has some other ISA soundcard, and also doesn't seem to have any audio issues. |

Unfortunately my PC only has PCI slots. Why is it that the oldest ISA sound cards are always the ones with the least problems??!? |
| paigeoliver:
The older cards have more mature drivers. Maybe a soundblaster 16 PCI would work out better for you. But in all truth, I have had nothing but success with pretty much every souncard I have ever owned. (Mostly Creative ones, SB 16, SB 128 and SB Live). |
