For those AmigaOne X5K owners, what sound card are you using?

Model, Model # and any info you can offer.

Need to make sure it works 100% for AmigaOS 4 as well as MorphOS.

Thanks

TJ

I use a soundblaster live ! (Emu10k1) pci card.

vendor id 1102. device id 0002


Edit:

I had to remove my pci sata controller. I have a dual graphics card setup.
Otherwise I had no sound in os4.

I'm also currently using an EMU10k1 based PCI SBLive card but I believe my cheap Chinese CMsomething card was also working for both OS's.

I switched to the SBLive because I was having distorted sound issues with certain games, and still do (in MorphOS) but I've just accepted that it happens. It appears to be related to my use of a second GPU for morphos in my 4x slot and looks like it's something to do with interrupts. I'm on X5040. Anecdotal evidence suggests it's specific t the 5040 as skateman has a 5020 and doesn't see these issues. I tried a couple of M-Audio cards, the SBLive and more (I forget now) and the distortion was there with any sound card in any PCI slot so I just gave up in the end and accept there's the odd unplayable game for me.

Apologies, I'll have to dig out the specifics of the cards tomorrow.

Thanks for your sharing,this topic discussion is so helpful for me.I get a lot of useful information about it.

Thanks to those that responded. Hate to take out a sound card that works fine for Amiga OS and possibly screw that up to just hope a new one will work for both, but may explore that. I would like to use MorphOS more but no sound, or good sound I should say, is a deal breaker for me right now as I don't want to screw up my Amiga OS side. TJ

@amigasociety

I use an ESI Juli@ soundcard on my X5000 works with AmigaOS and MorphOS.

TJ, Sounds like no reason not to switch cards and get better results.

The 20 version of the X5000 seem pretty well sorted at this point. AFAICT only the 040 versions are screwy with changes to usb and such...

3.20 will eventually come out, get the system ready :)

Cool look audio card but wow, pricey. Seem to be $125 and more plus shipping.

Thanks for letting me know about it though.

Yeh, and all purchasing of any retro tech has come to an end for me for now as last year or two has been brutal for bills so it all ends for a bit. I am just going to enjoy what I own for a bit as-is.

What are the odds either of these audio cards will work well with at least MorphOS?

When I purchased my X5K in 2016 I had to get 3 audio cards to allow my AmigaOS 4.1 beta to work. These two I yanked and held onto.

You will notice 1 is a Creative Labs but is a EMU10K1X-DBQ and at the time this one failed with Amiga OS. No idea if it will work now almost 10 years later. Maybe some update helped?

But do you think a EMU10K1X-DBQ will work for MorphOS?

If not that one I also own a Diamond branded XS51 Sound Card as well. This one was flacky with AmigaOS if memory calls and why I had to go down the new audio card path 10 years back.

I would ask someone like Skateman to give you an exact model number, that should be enough.
