The TL074 are used by the Yamaha DAC, and the TL072 are the final gain-stage for output.We even tested it in our Packard Bell PB500 in non-turbo mode.Our machine has an NEC V20 CPU, in non-turbo mode, it will be running at roughly 6 Mhz.We were able to play Space Quest III with this configuration.
In turbo, its more playable, but the sound plays back just as it should at either speed. The card has its own 14.31818 Mhz oscillator to ensure that no matter your machines bus speed, you will never have any fear of the pitch changing. However, there are some machines which send a slower speed to the oscillator on the bus which will cause a lower pitch than expected to play. No emulation, it uses a real Yamaha YMF262 IC to do the work. The OPL3 is backwards compatible with the OPL2, so any game or application written to use an Adlib sound card will also work. Opl3 Sound Card Driver Loads TheThis driver loads the OPL3 driver for windows and supports all of the features of the OPL3 chipset. See the last pic above. Win98 auto detects the card at install, but we had to add it manually on Win95.) Please note, this card will not playback wavdigital files, it is an FM synthesis card only. It turns out, that the OPL3 will actually support 4 channel sound. We decided that we had to implement this, even though there are no games or apps at this time which support this mode. It is our hope that down the road, developers may decide to support this feature to offer surround The card will still work in two channel mode just fine, as any older card would. It will ship set to 0x388, so you can just plug it in and go It is possible you may be able to trick some apps into supporting port 0x220 like the original sound blaster, or you can just use any port you like for your own purposes or testing. Its really just there to make the card as flexible as possible, or you can leave it where it is forever. We installed this so you can chain your other sound cards into this one if you like. This input mixes with the front channels on the card, not the rear. We are making this program, the source-code for it, as well as the schematic available. We made a few prototypes, and wound up using bypass caps before, and after the final opamp stage to keep the card as clean sounding as possible. This will help block DC noise coming from the digital section of the card, and allow the AC audio signal to pass. We also used a 10uf 0.1uf decoupling cap on both power rails of the TL074s TL072s on the card.
