Welcome to the SoundBlaster 8/16 Version 2.01 driver! I've added support for SoundBlaster16. It's now possible to play 16bit sounds. Supports now NX_SoundStreamDataEncoding_Linear16 !! The driver is now avaiable in binary format for everybody ! Since Creative Labs is NOT interrested in supporting NeXTStep (We've asked them to add the driver to the support drivers for the SB... and they did say "no market" ! ;-(( ), and since not much people registred the driver, I deceided to give it out FREE ! So, it is the full version ! Without restrictions !! I don't know yet how to record on a SoundBlaster16. The driver does NOT SUPPORT RECORDING on a SoundBlaster16 ! If you try it, you will record garbage ... ;-( The SoundBlaster driver can be found on the ftp-site: sonata.cc.purdue.edu : /pub/next/submissions/SoundBlaster_V2.01.tar.gz cs.orst.edu : /pub/next/submissions/SoundBlaster_V2.01.tar.gz (it soon will move to): /pub/next/binaries/drivers/SoundBlaster_V2.01.tar.gz Here are some technical data: !* IT'S FREE !
