Sound Failure Symptoms


Sound Failure Symptoms

Sound is an area of the PC that has been largely overlooked in early systems. Aside from a simple, oscillator-driven speaker, the early PCs were mute. Driven largely by the demand for better PC games, designers developed standalone soundboards that could read sound data recorded in separate files, then reconstruct those files into basic sound, music, and speech. Since the beginning of the decade, those early soundboards have blossomed into an array of powerful, high-fidelity sound products, capable of duplicating voice, orchestral soundtracks, and real-life sounds with uncanny realism (Fig. 41-1). Not only have sound products helped the game industry to mature, but they have been instrumental in the development of multimedia technology (the integration of sound and picture, as well as Internet Web phones and other communication tools. This chapter is intended to explain the essential ideas and operations of a contemporary soundboard, and show you how to isolate a defective soundboard when problems arise.
