The subject of this query is waterfall programs and sound cards.
a) is there any sound card that is better than the others? (Such as
"Sound Blaster"?) I am told that some waterfall programs will not play
on some laptops. ("Hamview", for instance, does not use standard Win95
calls)
b) it would seem better to use a sound card equipped with its own DSP
chip, as opposed to a sound card that makes calls to the computer's
processor. (Then, it would appear, programmers could write directly to
the Sound blaster compatible card and skip using the Windows 95 driver
entry points).
c) The newest sound cards have on board DSP and cost more.
d) What is the experience of this august readership?
Thanks and 73
