Could we have had 8-bit audio of that quality back in the Soundblaster days assuming the computer behind it was capable of processing it?

- boomlinde 11y agoThe original Soundblaster was a pretty noisy thing and was limited to 22.5 kHz, AFAIK. You could use noise dithering to improve the perceived quality, but it wouldn't be as effective at that sample rate.
- raverbashing 11y agoYeah, but later models (Sound Blaster Pro) added 44.1kHz (but only mono, stereo would be 22.5kHz, then it went 16-bit and that was it. Then of course it became obsolete for 99.9% of use cases
