The Sound Blaster 16 PCI is a sound card released by Creative Technology, designed to offer basic audio functionality for PCs. The Sound Blaster 16 PCI was a later iteration of Creative’s famous Sound Blaster 16 line, adapted to use the more modern PCI bus instead of the older ISA interface. Unlike the original ISA-based Sound Blaster 16 cards, which featured Yamaha OPL FM synthesis, the PCI version was based on Ensoniq’s AudioPCI technology (which Creative acquired in 1998). It has no dedicated hardware for Adlib/OPL support, instead using the Ensoniq sample-synthesis engine to (somewhat poorly) simulate it. It is General MIDI compatible in most games. Our Sound Blaster 16 PCI is sealed in its original box and has the following identifying marks:
