Have a look at your SB. There should be 2 empty sockets if you don't have
the CMS chips. Buying and plugging in the chips will give you 12-voice
C/MS stereo music.
Most games that support Adlib also have the option of Soundblaster on it.
Will choosing one or the other make any difference if I have the CMS chips
installed? Is it worth it getting the CMS chips if I only use the SB for
games? Will the CMS option offer additional sound/music together with the
Adlib compatibility of SB?
