Trident Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver Download

| Posted on by



TRIDENT 660 ENGINE. The Trident’s unique 660cc engine delivers the perfect combination of punchy linear torque and power low down and across the whole rev range, for thrilling usable performance and a fantastic soundtrack. Trident Microsystems was a fabless semiconductor company that in the 1990s, it became a well-known supplier of graphics chipsets used in video cards and on motherboards for desktop PCs and laptops. Welcome to the MSI Global official site. We are the top Gaming gear provider. VIRTINS Sound Card Oscilloscope is a powerful PC based virtual instrument software. Unlike most of the sound card oscilloscopes in the market which search trigger event after data collection, it features a specially designed data acquisition approach which is able to monitor the input signal continuously without missing any trigger event before the frame of data is collected.

I have spent a lot of time with this console and Have A/B'd the sound with my Neve 1073s, API 512cs, and UA 610. Sometimes more preferred than API on vocals and drums. Doesn't sound much like a Neve in the low end but that's not a bad thing. This Trident doesn't have to take a backseat to any console period.

Hi!

Right now using the joystick with a trident sound card
on 2.4.x is not possible.

The joystick/pcigame give me tons of problems, like pci resource
conflicts and oops, anyway I'll came back soon with more detailed
data about that...

Forgetting the enhanced game port we can use the old legacy ISA ns558
driver but is a no go because the trident sound driver doesn't enable
that port :(

This patch allow to enable the legacy joystick port on
Trident 4DWave DX/NX.
The patch adds a new trident module param (joystick)
and a new config option.
I didn't try with a monolithic kernel, I hope that joy driver
driver will came after the sound driver..

Before xmas I need to turn my linux server on a X11box ;)

happy gaming,
luca

follow patch against 2.4.17rc2 inspired from a 1999 alsa-devel post:
