Various manufacturers started producing PCI busboards for the A1200 and A4000, allowing standard Amiga computers to use PCI cards such as Voodoo graphic cards, Sound Blaster sound cards, 10 / 100 Ethernet cards, and TV tuner cards.

This was bundled with " multimedia upgrade kits ", comprising a CD-ROM drive and a sound card, such as the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro.

Even a sound card that contains high-quality sampled sounds will have inconsistent quality from one instrument to another, and early budget cards, such as the AdLib and the Sound Blaster and its compatibles, used a stripped-down version of Yamaha's frequency modulation synthesis ( FM synthesis ) technology played back through low-quality digital-to-analog converters.

While the Tandy DAC's features compared favorably to those offered by Creative's 8-bit Sound Blaster audio cards, it never saw widespread adoption by software developers.

4-channel stereo multiplexed analog-to-digital converter WM8775SEDS made by Wolfson Microelectronics placed on an Sound Blaster X-Fi | X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro sound card.

Digital audio ( PCM ) was not supported, a key feature supported by later competition ( such as the Creative Labs Sound Blaster.

When the Gold card was finally released, the Sound Blaster series was entrenched as the de-facto PC sound card standard, and priced significantly cheaper than the Adlib Gold.

Not long after its introduction, Creative Labs introduced the competing Sound Blaster card.

The Sound Blaster was fully compatible with AdLib's hardware, meaning it would play any past, present, and future game written for AdLib's own card.

With a superior product and better marketing, the Sound Blaster quickly displaced AdLib as the de-facto standard in PC-gaming audio.

In 1992, Ad Lib filed for bankruptcy while the Sound Blaster family continued to dominate the PC gaming industry.

The DOS version uses sequenced music played back by either an internal speaker, the FM synthesis of an AdLib or Sound Blaster sound card, or the sample-based synthesis of a Roland MT-32 sound module.

There was also a problem which made the 6x86 incompatible with the then-popular Sound Blaster AWE64 sound card.

Although the IBM and compatibles initially lacked the hardware sound processing capabilities of the Amiga, with the advent of the Sound Blaster line from Creative, PC audio slowly began to approach CD Quality ( 44. 1 kHz / 16-bit / Stereo ) with the release of the SoundBlaster 16.

Inevitably, the balance was largely redressed with the introduction of the Sound Blaster AWE32 and its successors, which also featured on-board RAM and wavetable mixing.

Starting around 1993, with the introduction of Creative Labs ' Sound Blaster AWE32 and Gravis ' Ultrasound cards, the term " wavetable " started to be applied as a marketing term to any sound card that used PCM samples as the basis of sound creation.

The Sound Blaster family of sound cards was the de facto standard for consumer audio on the IBM PC compatible system platform, until the widespread transition to Microsoft Windows 95, which standardized the programming interface at application level ( eliminating the importance of backward compatibility with Sound Blaster ), and the evolution in PC design led to onboard motherboard-audio, which commoditized PC audio functionality.

The creator of Sound Blaster is the Singapore-based firm Creative Technology, also known by the name of its United States subsidiary, Creative Labs.

Surprisingly, the board also contained a large 40-pin PGA ( Creative Technology Programmable Logic ) integrated circuit, bearing a CT 1302A CTPL 8708 serigraphed inscription and looking exactly like the DSP of the later Sound Blaster.

The Sound Blaster 1. 0, CT1320A, was released in 1989.

Software that can export audio in WMA format include Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker, Microsoft Expression Encoder, Sony Sound Forge, GOM Player, RealPlayer, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, and Adobe Soundbooth.

Some of the most widely used are, Digidesign's Pro Tools, Sony's ACID and Sound Forge, Cakewalk Sonar, ReCycle, GarageBand, FL Studio ( formerly Fruity Loops ), Propellerhead's Reason and Ableton Live.

The Sound Blaster Pro supported faster digital sampling rates ( up to 22. 05 kHz stereo or 44. 1 kHz mono ), added a " mixer " to provide a crude master volume control ( independent of the volume of sound sources feeding the mixer ), and a crude high pass or low pass filter.

The Sound Blaster Pro used a pair of YM3812 chips to provide stereo music-synthesis ( one for each channel ).

The Sound Blaster Pro was fully backward compatible with the original Sound Blaster, and by extension, the AdLib sound card.

The Sound Blaster Pro was the first Creative sound card to have a built-in CD-ROM interface.

Most Sound Blaster Pro cards featured a proprietary interface for a Panasonic ( Matsushita MKE ) drive.

Sound Blaster Pro 2 ( CT1600 )

The revised version, the Sound Blaster Pro 2, CT1600, replaced the YM3812s with a more advanced Yamaha YMF262 ( OPL3 ).

The Sound Blaster Pro 2 was fully backward compatible with the original Sound Blaster, and by extension, the AdLib sound card.

Shortly after the release of the Sound Blaster Pro 2 version, Creative discontinued the original Sound Blaster Pro.

Creative's domination of the PC audiocard business soon had them selling the Sound Blaster Pro 2 OEM, CT1680, to customers for integration into pre-assembled PCs.
