what we can do interesting on Soundblaster/Adlib?

a question: what we can do interesting on Soundblaster/Adlib on Freebasic on DOS?
did someone shared some useful or interesting examples or codes? or someone knows where to find useful information to apply here?
thanks! :)

"Throw as far as possible" competitions while wearing a "I love FreeBasic" T-shirt ? :-)

If you can read (turbo) Pascal, search for the so called "SWAG" archive. It contains many old samples of dos code and hardware control. IIRC they have a whole category devoted to audio/sound. Or pillage QB sites.

I haven't been working for stuff like this for a long while since .....
Anyway ... here's how I used to play WAVs in DOS ....
Also there's a FMSynth test ...

You'll only need a SBPro compatible card to use this or a driver to emulate SBPro .... [???]

This is my way ... but is based on "playwave- Forever Young Software(r) (C)opyright 1984-2002"

FM synthesis is possible by the OPL2/3 chip (included in adlib and soundblaster cards). On modern sound cards, it can be emulated using adlibemu.c

what we can do interesting on Soundblaster/Adlib?
