Without adding anything in the Config and Autoexec files, it just worked in all the games I tried.

I did not even need to install a driver in DOS. You have jumpers on the card to configure the address settings (IRQ should be set to 7 for DOS, and 5 for Windows), but otherwise this card is pretty much as plug & play as it gets. The chip it uses was later used in the Pro Audio Spectrum Plus and the Pro Audio Spectrum 16.Īs a Sound Blaster substitute its actually quite decent. Since their original Pro Audio Spectrum was not compatible with the Sound Blaster digital audio standard they made this card to fill the void. Joystick port is for joysticks only - no MIDI.

There is a lot more information on the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 range in my Retro Review from November 2021. which later became popular for its A3D audio technology and it later incarnations, Vortex and Vortex 2. In May 1996, the company was renamed Aureal Semiconductor, Inc. Media Vision filed for bankruptcy protection in December 1994 after fraud allegations raised against its executives that year.

Furthermore, the Pro Audio Spectrum Plus and Pro Audio Spectrum 16 did include the same chip they used on their Thunder Board in order to provide standard Sound Blaster 1.5/2.0 support.Ĭlick here for a large archive of PAS-related stuff. The PAS range did not have built-in support for Sound Blaster Pro or 16, but since most games of the mid 90's had direct support for the Pro Audio Spectrum (PAS) cards, this wasn't much of a problem.įor backward-compatibility, the 16-bit PAS cards did have an Ad Lib-compatible OP元 chip for FM synthesis, and the 8-bit cards had an Ad Lib-compatible OPL2 chip. Media Vision were perhaps most famous for their Pro Audio Spectrum (PAS) cards, but they had numerous others over the Ad Lib and Sound Blaster era. They also produced a number of graphics cards. Founded in May 1990 by Paul Jain (of Paradise and Video Seven fame) and Tim Bratton, Media Vision (often incorrectly spelt MediaVision) were a sound card manufacturer during the early 90s, competing directly against Creative Labs and Aztech Labs.
