How Monster Sound Works

Monster Sound is the first true 3D sound card specifically designed to accelerate and enhance DirectSound, the new Microsoft audio standard. Using the fast PCI bus, it processes all Windows 95 audio on-board, eliminating the burden on your PC. Monster Sound works as a stand-alone sound card for Windows 95. It can also work as a companion to your existing sound card by processing all audio in Windows 95, allowing your existing sound card to handle older legacy DOS software.

The New Standard for PC Audio
DirectSound is the new Microsoft audio standard for PC computing, much like SoundBlaster technology has been the audio standard for DOS. DirectSound will revolutionize PC audio in Windows 95. It allows for the simulation of 3D audio effects, such as the ability to hear opponents creep up behind you and helicopters flying over head before either is visible on screen. Monster sound, using A3D Interactive audio technology from Aureal, accelerates and radically improves the quality of DirectSound in Windows 95.
