Aztech has initiated a fresh release of its PCI 386DSP sound card using Qsound technology. The company said that its card was a DSP breakthrough and did not depend on the processor to supply the usual functions including 3D positioning and wavetable synthesis. The card also uses Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) and Qsound modelling technology, said Aztech. It will support games like Unreal from Epic and Forsaken from Acclaim, claimed Aztech. Singapore-based Aztech would not say which DSP chip was used to make the breakthrough. ®
