Id guess at bandwidth. The Deneb has Zorro III bandwidth for RAW audio and the Subway only has clockport bandwidth.

But just a guess.

I've got several Creative Soundblaster Live cards that I hope will work with my Deneb + AHI

Now we all need is (Classic Amiga users and MorphOS users) something like this to work with these so they can support OctaMED S.S.

Uh, I think I understand this thought? Does that stuff really work with OSS? What can you do? And can't do?

OSS +
Deneb +
TheMaestrix +
AHI +
USB sound card

total mess

Sorry, I skipped a couple of words...
My finger is bandaged and it hurts to type (blame it on my 600's metal shielding, cut cut cut).

I meant to say we need something like the Maestro to emulate an old sound card and redirect it to ahi so we can use these USB sound cards with our favorite tracker software like OS 4.x users.


Just a theory, I've no idea if this will really work or not, but I'd hope so.

Well never say never. Software wise, it has happened with Tocatta emulation, right? AHI drivers would be a 1st step...

Oh, and if I was ever to be plopped into an ancient sword fight out of no where, I would like a sword in the shape of a C=64 RF shielding. I would totally prevail.

Those things are the worst...

alexh: "Id guess at bandwidth. The Deneb has Zorro III bandwidth for RAW audio and the Subway only has clockport bandwidth."

Bandwidth or not, Poseidon (V4.4) generates an AHI listing upon recognition of the card, but no driver is available within AHI's default drawer. Is this just a file that's only 'supplied' or 'bundled' with the Deneb card? Should I've had this file within Poseidon's lha package? I'd like to try it against my Highway card even if the bandwidth would be poor.

Ok, duh. So these things have an AHI driver - It's just some generic USB audio device driver, that Poseidon provides?

Pretty cheap might need to play with one.

I'd love to see a list of tested and working cards.

I'll try mine when I get home.

Isochronous transfers which are needed for a USB sound card are only supported on the Deneb.

This is why we need an accelerator card with built-in USB for those of use who don't have a big-box Amiga... :-)

Ahh. Very well then. Thanks for enlightening me. Guess I'm on the fence whether I'll upgrade or not, cause the Highway works without a glitch & I'm not so sure I want to tear into my A3000 yet again!

Hello.

I'm digging this thread to ask a question.
I now have an el cheapo USB audio dongle that works well with AHI4 on my Deneb (A4000 with 40 MHz 040). However, when i use it with Songlplayer to play MP3, the sound is good up to low quality 22KHz but wacky on better rates.
I am wondering if there is any USB soundcard compatible with Poseidon that would bring hardware decoding to ease the CPU work (nice 16 bits 44KHz for instance).

Any idea?

I haven't tried it but have heard reports that it works with the clockport version, but you need at least an 040 to play audio smoothly.
