Lacks a low pass filter when running in Sound Blaster Pro mode, which makes the output audio sound more tinny/treble. Overall though, this card is nice and quiet (low noise).
SoftMPU is known to work with the AZT-2316 chipset.
The card was also sold to third parties who rebranded it. One example of this is the Toptek Golden Sound Pro 16 ES/MCD.
Eirik Øverby, whose card is shown in this section, got in touch with me to let me know that he tried installing a Dream Blaster in the WaveTide header on his MMSN850, and it worked! - sort of. He was only able get sound out of one channel from the Audio Out port on the back of the card. Since his daughterboard has its own audio output jack he was able to get around this problem, though it's less than ideal. If anyone has pinouts for the WaveTide header please let me know!
