Sound Blaster 16
The Sound Blaster series is a family of sound cards made by Creative. For many years they were the standard audio cards on IBM PC's.
Introduction
The Sound Blaster 16 is the successor of the Sound Blaster Pro audio card found in many older computers. It was first brought out in 1992. The main improvement over the Pro is that of its 16-bit digital audio sampling (hence the name). Most SB16 cards are PCI compatable, as Creative made this improvement shortly after releasing the card, upgrading from ISA.
