  the oldest card i got is an audigy2. with the quite rare 5¼" bay and a ton of ins and outs. you're using it too atm ^^. well, at least the past you... damn. even arch. i recently hopped to debian because of the insane kde regression :D i have a second one, in case you're interested, i'll send it your way for free... take a peek into the alsamixer. it should have some tone control and the default slider values are all over the place too.

  I have the exact same thing, I love the older hardware from the ISA bus era, because it's a lot simpler and components are easier to handle. Also on the software and addressing side it's a lot easier to understand what is going on, because of DOS only being a tiny layer for most stuff.

  I usually tell people if a device in Windows is not working. I tell them to try Linux. It is most likely that it will be working in Linux. For several years now, it has been hard to find devices that do not work in Linux. A few years ago I tried using one of my PCI sound cards in Linux. When I used Puppy Linux with a kernel version of 3.2 (or was it 3.4), the Soundblaster LIVE and Turtle Beach Santa Cruz worked. After this version, it stopped working. I had to use Gigabyte 870A-UD3 because it was the only motherboard that I had with more recent hardware that worked with these sound cards. I also tried Manjaro (Arch Linux-based) it did not detect the sound cards. Tried with i-Core motherboards such as MSI 81M ECO and ASUS B75M Plus. They do not work with any kernel version with these sound cards. I noticed that modules for these sound cards were in the deny list in the modprobe directory in later kernel versions for some odd reason. They must have fixed the issue by now as I saw in the video. The site ALSA Project provides information on what sound card Linux supports. Linux has a unified module framework. One module for many cards that uses the same chip. The difference is what is coded into the vendor ID and device ID. It may also have deeper information coded into the EEPROM or Flash chip near the chip. I edited the video capture chip module to include one of my video capture cards. I got it working, but I did not upload the patch to kernel.org. This was a long time ago. The card is DIAMOND ATI Theater 750 (TVW750PEC). It is a good video capture card that captures analog video in RAW. I may get it working again and upload the patch to kernel.org. Is it too late? 🤓

  Ist das ein Kopfhörer aus dem Action? Alter, Du lässt es Dir gut gehen! Kanal läuft wohl? Als ich seinerzeit noch mit der neuen Hardware herumbastelte, die Du heute reparierst, packte ich eine HDD in einen Rechner mit K6-2+, hatte aber keinen Plan mehr, was darauf war. Es war Suse-Linux und ich entsann mich, dass ich das seinerzeit auf einem 5x86 installiert hatte. Bootete direktmit allen Geräten korrekt initialisiert hoch. Als damaliger Windows-Fanboy war ich sehr perplex. Heute fasse ich Windows nicht mehr mit der Zange an. Nur für die wenigen Spiele, die nicht unter Linux laufen, starte ich das. Also einmal im Jahr vielleicht.

  Your video is interesting. I am looking forward to seeing if you will create a video explaining the details on Pentium III slotkets. From the information found on the web, running a 133MHz FSB will make the AGP card on P2B (early revision) motherboards operate in an overclocked condition (133MHz x 2/3 = 88.6MHz). The nominal operating frequency for AGP is 66MHz, so running it at 88.6MHz could cause instability or damage.

• 
  @necro_ware2 күн бұрын

  That's right. 440BX was specified for up to 100MHz and 133MHz it is technically overclocked.

Nowadays, people might dismiss these older technologies as irrelevant and outdated. However, technology doesn't emerge spontaneously; appreciating history is essential for understanding the present and shaping the future. 😊

  SB Live was the go to pci sound card for linux during the early 2000s. It got really good linux support fairly quickly One downside to the EMU10K series is that it's DSP always runs at 48KHz which means that it needs to resample anything at a different sample rate to 48Khz. Considering 44.1 KHz tends to be much more common, the output from a SBLive and Audigy is not as good as from a sound card that does not do any resampling. Audigy2 has a mode where the DSP could be bypassed allowing support for some non 48KHZ frequencies without resampling but the older cards did not have that capability.

• 
  @chaoticsystem221116 сағат бұрын

  yes, but the dsp is the hidden gem. and philips nailed audio when it created the cd. i can't manage to get close to the sound the audigy 2 creates even with 32/192khz (the recon3d does that (Sound Core3D [Sound Blaster Recon3D / Z-Series / Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus] ), hdmi too, but that creates a lag when you only use the hdmi for the sound and want to play games on another display)

  Hello! 😊 you said your favorite generation is 386, I have one at home and I'm trying to make it work. It has 4 modules of ram, but even though I cleaned them (anyways they were completely clean already) I continue having 3 beeps. 3 beeps in a row do you have an idea what it is? Sorry to bother you but I have searched on Google and still I don't really know what can it be. Graphics card I guess no because when I remove it, 3 beeps continue. I ask you because your experience! Also, do you have a video about how to set 'cylinders and heads' on a bios config? That's what I was trying to figure out when my 386 worked. It worked without a disk, until I got one but did not know how to config the IDE disk for my motherboard to know it's there 😅😅😅 Greetings from Argentina ❤😊

  Regarding adding a battery by drilling a hole: doesn’t that put the new battery in parallel with the old one, causing the new battery to charge the old one? Edit: it was adressed in the revised repair video; cutting the internal battery extends the lifetime of the new battery but the module can also work with the internal battery still connected.

• 
  @necro_ware2 күн бұрын

  Yes, I addressed it in one of my older videos. This is a common concern, but the internal battery is not rechargeable and seems not to pull a significant current. I tested two modules over 3 months, one where I cut the internal connection to the battery, the other one where I left it connected. In the end of my test I couldn't measure any difference in discharge rate of both batteries. It could be somewhere under 10%, but since the module can survive around 10 years from one battery it's just a question of 9 vs 10 years. Not really something to worry about if the battery is easily exchangeable.
