I got an early version of the SB, it had the CMS chips when I bought it. My
experience is that few games support CMS. Those that do also support Adlib
or SB. The sound is better when I use the SB (or Adlib) mode. The question
is: What do I use the CMS chips for?
P.S. This should not be taken as a flame on SB. It is GREAT!
Besides Adlib it has the great voice input/output capability. Many
games (new ones) use the SB voice capability.
