Hi everyone, I'm looking for a sound card that will allow one
to control Left and Right channels independently. I need to
send a stream of data to the left channel, but before this
stream ends, I need to be able to send another stream to the
right channel. I've spoken with several companies and I have
not found any with a product with such capabilities. Creative
Labs plans to have such a board, but not for about a year.
Can anyone suggest a product with such capabilities.
Thanks -- alann
P.S. Has anyone heard of a product or company called MSound?
The folks at Creative Labs suggested that I call them
but had no phone number. Any info would be appreciated.

I have been considering purchasing a sound card, but I have never seen one at work. I know what they can do. My question is what is the major difference between the adlib and the soundblaster and is it worth the extra money to buy the soundblaster card?????

Both cards use the same FM synth chip to generate music. The SB has a joystick port and a digital speech channel. The SB also has a 2 watt 8Ohm amp built it. The stick port is very useful as that saves a slot. Otherwise it's a matter of personal judgement whether the other features are worth the extra money.

The major difference is, that the SOUNDBLASTER has stereo-sound, and the AD-LIB only mono-sound. You can play sampled sounds with the SOUNDBLASTER, too, which isnt possible with AD-LIB. The SOUNDBLASTER has a possibility to advance to MIDI.(about 140 DM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ! ccc_ball@dulruu51.bitnet ccc_ball@rzmain.rz.uni-ulm.de ! !

In my opinion, they are NOT worth it. It sounds like a toy cheap musical keyboard to me. The Adlib support is always far superior. Basically, the amplifier in the SoundBlaster is two-channel, but the Adlib part of the SoundBlaster and the digital playback channel are both mono. -Steve -- }>> Steve Haehnichen <<{ shaehnichen@ucsd.edu Disclaimer: UCSD and I do not share any opinions.
