The Mystery Of The AC97 Sound...

[Helgis75]

What is this AC97 intergrated soundchip anyway? Is this some kind of a modern Paula-chip being great at playback with 20-bit full duplex sound, and poor when it comes to recording? Is this the kind of audio-chip..? Could somebody tell me?

Is it possible to use the AC97 for playback at 20-bit, and the SB Live for recording? Just wonder...

AFAIK, the AC97 is simply an audio I/O chip.

In theory, you could set up AHI to output through the AC97 and record through the SBLive! but I think the SBLive! is probably a better bet for both jobs :-)

I'm sure you're right. I would expect any with AmigaOne now to tell about their audio-experiences with both AC97 and a soundcard like SB Live..

Thank you, Floid:-) Then the choice is clear! The SB Live is the way to go at the moment! Luckily, i DID by the SB Live Digital 5.1!!!  :-)  :-D
