This is probably a question best put to Jerry Rash, but I don't
think he's available.

As part of my system overhaul, I have put in an Aopen AW320,
which Indelible
Blue used to sell, and which is based on the Crystal 4614
chipset. I'm still waiting
on some advice re the proper way to remove the prior MMOS2
installation, so I
have only installed this card under OS/2 in the new (temporary)
maintenance
partition, which was a clean install.

The default boot-up music plays with a pronounced waver. Some
mp3 files play
too fast, and also with this flutter / waver. At first I thought
it might have something
to do with the faster CPU now in the box, but this is not
happening under W2K.
That suggests a driver issue. I will check to see if the OS/2
drivers I loaded are the
most recent ones available. Otherwise, I would say that this
sound card does not
appear to suffer from the noise / gain / hiss type problems
evident on its predecessor,
a Soundblaster-32, but it does have the lower volume or volume
variations that I
think Timur's old sound site warned could be expected from
Crystal chipsets.

On a possibly related subject: ever since the system rebuild, my
subwoofer no
longer seems to work, and I have no idea why.
