if you ask me, the old 16bit ISA cards, the ones that actually provide
speaker out, not only line out, are still the best and true
soundcards. i almost exclusively use them, if i can get my hands on
them. they sound perfectly if you ask me, and they simply work with
standard drivers. none of that offloading stuff to the CPU and
requiring special drivers for WinSoundCards, they just work. it's
beautious!
but, society clearly says that 32bit must be better than 16bit, even
though they can't even hear the difference... oh well...
