Humm! which Soundcards work?
by Ernie Mills, WM2U. http://www.qsl.net/wm2u

I have built this page after receiving a request of Greg Heath, KB2QQM, to compile an OnLine list of Sound Cards which are known to have been successfully used for what are now dubbed as the Sound Card Modes. He had noticed a pattern of regular help requests appearing on the PSK reflectors enquiring about the suitability of various sound cards. Since he has been solely responsible for the collection of all the material on this web page and I, the mere Web Master, I would like to thanks him both for myself and the Hams world wide, who find this page helpful. Thanks Greg. Ernie WM2U

Hi everybody. I am trying to compile a list of compatible sound cards that folks can use to enjoy PSK31. I am compiling a list for Ernie wm2u. Just email me what you are using. Also It would be nice to see what kind of systems you are using it on. So send me these items:

  • Operating System (win95, win98, Linux, winNT etc.)
  • Speed of Computer (mhz)
  • Amount of Ram (8mb, 16mb, 32, 64, 128 etc)
  • Sound Card Type (Soundblaster16, AWE, JBL, Wavetable etc)
A lot of people have been posting the lists with...is this compatible?.. Ernie and his website are happy to add a page detailing Soundcards that are OK to use, and any problems encountered. We just have to get the info first.. Thanks for your time in helping. Sincerely Greg KB2QQM. email me here at home at [email protected] 73 and enjoy! de Greg KB2QQM
