Subject:  [VOICENWS] HW: C-Media 8738 PCI sound card under OS/2

From: "Mark Dodel" <madodelDESPAM at ptdprolog.net> 

In the United States, if you have a local OfficeMax store, they currently
have a 4 Channel sound card for free after $15.00 instant savings +$15.00
mail-in rebate.  This is a Mad Dog Multimedia Prowler 4.1 DSP 4 channel
PCI sound card <http://www.mdmm.com> .  This card has a C-Media 8738
chipset which is supported by a driver on hobbes -
<http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/sound/cmedia019.zip>

The same deal is also on their website -
<http://www.officemax.com/max/solutions/product/prodBlock.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&expansionOID=-536879914&prodBlockOID=537079875> 
Though you would have to pay shipping unless your total order is $50 or
more and you are in an area serviced by them.  I don't think they will
ship outside the US, but can't find that specified on their website.

This chipset is also supported by the UniAud driver, (a free version is
available on hobbes).  I have tried it under eCS 1.03 with the cmedia019
driver and it works fine at least for system sounds.  I can't remove
Digital Audio from the installed builtin Crystal chipset and assign it to
the C-Media card via Multimedia Setup notebook.  So I haven't been able to
check the sound quality playing waves with z!, but the price is certainly
worth the effort of trying.
