Which is the best sound card for MorphOS in terms of sound quality and compatibility?

You will have to see what drivers are avail for others through it, but i use a SB Live card. The driver comes in the newer AHI packages. I like the sound much better over the onboard sound.

What about Audigy? And Audigy 2? And Terratech?

I dont think any of them are supported on the Pegasos or AHI are they becides the Terratech one?

Any can explain about this, please? The AHI developer, for example?

AHI supports Audigy 2?

What about this?

I used to use a SoundBlaster Live! in my Peg-1, and then I switched to on-boards sound. I really didn't see any difference in CPU usage or quality when playing back MP3's on normal desktop stereo speakers.

Perhaps if you had really high-quality speakers and were playing back clean CD audio you might see a difference. But for general desktop usage you won't see a difference between a Soundblaster live! and on-board peg-1 or peg-2 audio.

@timofonic

There is not much so well documented as AHI,you just need to read it:

@Robin

Creative Audigy is supported and not showed on that webpage, so I assume that maybne there are other sound cards supported and not listed...

where can I found the SoundBlaster driver for AHI ?

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~lcs/files/ahi/beta/ I think...

From the Changelog:

* emu10kx.audio: Replaced the EMU10k1 routing completely. Disabled
most of the patch manager. Somebody needs to fix it for Audigy
cards.

isnt the onboard sound pretty darn good in the peg? why even bother with another card?

@Poundsmack

the sound you heard at Amiwest was from my Soundblaster Live card. With my speakeers you can hear a real diffrence between the two. Also at times the onboard sound would skip if I was doing a lot of things at once, with the live card I never have that problem.

I agree with Acill here, his soundblaster live sounded 'punchier' if that's the right word for it. I have incredibly cheap altec lansing sub/satellite speakers on my system so it doesn't matter a great deal to me. Acill's sounds could have been better purely because of speaker quality

Re: sound skipping. You have to really bog the system down to make the sound skip...of course one surefire way of doing it is to run stuff that disable multi-tasking like, for example when you have a few screens open and CGX runs out of VRAM and has to do a buffer swap to main memory. That example is the only time I get a sound stutter/skip under regular use. (well, since I installed RexxMast to fix the Voyager bug )

good!

I am glad you were able to get it working for you! I also agree the sound is much cleaner then the onboard AC97 chip produces. Even more so if you have a good audio system.

Define good audio system.

I don't know about that. What doi you have? What are the good options?
Do you use 5.1? 7.1?

What kind of mixer are you using for SB Live!, to set the volume levels of output(s)/input(s)?

Currently no mixer is avail, but the levels that its at are just fine without one. I hear a live mixer is in the works though.

Now there is a mixer aviable! for the Soundblaster Live! and this
working verry good!
