    I'm not sure what you mean by "no list serve messages with this subject
    heading.."

    Anyway, what I am referring to is standard sound systems that ship with
    computer manufacturers. For example ESS, AC '97 and SoundMax. I believe
    that these are two chip sound systems that are integrated "on the board."
    Manufacturers claim that these are "Sound Blaster compatible" but our
    experience has been that they provide inferior results when it comes to
    speech recognition as opposed to using a PCI Sound Blaster card.

    My question is, how can they claim to be "Sound Blaster compatible" if they
    don't provide the same performance as a true Sound Blaster card? I hope
    this makes sense.

    Thanks in advance.
