Amiga Sound Cards

I agree about the Delfina Lite. It's a pain so set up correctly but once you have it's excellent!

[Flashlab]

I needed the tweaked delfina.library for it function correctly. Also a different init tool for my s-s (and an optional overclock util); all of these programs were not in the original install. If you don't know this then you have some problems.

You can find topics on this board about the Delfina and the dreaded fake requestor.

Had those problems myself!

With that overclocking utility you don't need to change any oscillator and you can choose any frequency you want.

I use the delfinampeg.device too but you could also try the patched lib; maybe that solves your freezes?

You have probably Delfina Flipper cards not Lites; the Delfina Lite is a Zorro card.

The overclock util is DelfTweak. Look for it on Aminet.

I use DelfInit instead of the initialisation tool that comes with the card. Also on Aminet.

The patched lib is here.

I use the patch 2 version.

[Flashlab]

Yeah, but you said you wanted to try to clock it lower; instead of a oscillator you can use this program to downclock it?

It would be best to use the original oscillator again and overclock the card using Delftweak according to this source.

I don't really get what you're trying to say but these cards for the Amiga are soundcards that have a on board DSP. This processor can be used to decode MP3 in hardware. At least that's what the Delfina is. The DSP can also be used for other things (adding soundeffects for example) but I don't use that. The card is used from Workbench so it's not like a seperate MP3 player.

Next to that the Delfina is also a 16bit soundcard that features a mixer to mix audio sources (native Paula Amiga sound, Delfina sound and CD-ROM sound and in my case Picasso TV tuner sound).

Look on www.amiga-hardware.com. There are all cards for Amiga listed and you can see all info on the mentioned cards.

MP3@64 is not mentioned on that site, but I think that's a C64 card that has an unofficial Amiga driver for it. That's MP3 decoder only.

Sounds like a nice card with the MPEGit module!
