You've gotta have some balls to release a new soundcard with the letters "GUS" in the name...

This is a great, short video explaining "whatever happened to soundcards?"

(Spoiler: it was Windows Vista that ended them, but it's an interesting story.)

Hey you into #Retrocomputing,
#Soundcards were killed by:

Just some folks duking it out over the technical and aural merits of the Gravis Ultrasound vs. Creative Labs AWE32 wavetable soundcard platforms back in 1994.

Shots were fired. (...and the audio recorded in 8-bits, but interpolated up to 16-bits on playback, so ... it sounded pretty realistic.)

I'm looking for #software that can
· #record multiple #audio files
· from mutiple #soundcards/audio inputs
· at the same time
· start/stop recordings via remote trigger (HTTP, SSH, API).

It's more about the automation/remote control part, less about professional #AV/#mixing. But if you happen to now matching hardware recording devices, do go ahead.

#floss would be great, but € is fine.
for win/linux. 🙏 :BoostOK:

Use #sysfs to #restart failed #PCI devices ( #WiFiCards, #SoundCards, etc.) - #Fedora Magazine

Looks like a useful fix for when #adaptors crash.

So, how does a FLAC rip of The National Essentials (2022) [0] sound on my Sound Blaster Audigy FX [1]?

Hey, Fedi, I'd love to see your #BigBoxShelves, if you would care to share them.

Most of my retro stuff is housed elsewhere, but I realised that I have a very cute set of games and hardware down by my workspace, including my first sound card (the CMS Game Blaster), a treasured game given to me by a dear friend (The Black Cauldron, which never reached my country except in pirated form), a copy of Quake with a sneaky backstory, and a Covox Sound Source!
