The numbering scheme confused many people since Diamond just renamed current cards with new names. Diamond instead used ESS's less powerful chips to continue the line. Notable members monsher the Stealth family have been the Diamond Stealth 3Dby far the most popular S3 Virge-based board. If the first digit was 2then the card used standard DRAM.
The drivers and player 4m for these are not compatible with the DVD and The Sonic Impact was the value-oriented sound card line from Diamond. The MX was the last of the Monster Sound cards. This brand was originally created decades ago as just "Fire" by the design team of the professional computer graphics pioneer SPEA Software AG from Starnberg Germany that was about acquired by Diamond.
It utilized the then pxi Aureal A3D 2. The company was founded by Chong Moon Lee and H. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Diamond's innovation created the Rio PMPone of the first consumer MP3 players, but they soon sold their MP3 player line and no longer provide support for it. In other projects Wikimedia Commons. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. In the middle of the Stealth line-up, Diamond chose to implement a numbering scheme to differentiate their cards.
Specifically, they tell the buyer the card's memory amount and type. These kits mmonster a 'feature reduced' several pin headers and other parts not installed full length PCI MPEG2 analog overlay decoder card made by divion. They are a slightly newer product with the 'Navigator' player software having a cleaner user interface.
The company was the defendant in a significant copyright case for its Rio digital music playerwhich the Recording Industry Association of America claimed infringed copyrights; the Pcj Circuit deemed it to be a fair usehowever, in RIAA v. The audio engine further received poor reviews regarding MIDI quality, which was a common standard for multimedia music playback at the time.

InDiamond was acquired by S3 Graphics and became primarily a supplier of products based upon their graphics accelerator chips. Growth in the add-on sound card market, also an pcci Diamond business, was tempered by the bankruptcy of Aureal Semiconductor and subsequent asset purchase by vertically-integrated Creative Technologies. It was a substantial step forward in gaming audio, with impressive 3D audio positioning and other effects.
Otherwise it was technically identical to the original Monster Sound.

The line later included chipsets with combined 2D and 3D capabilities. The series was highly successful as the Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 chipsets introduced consumer-grade 3D graphics into the PC and arcade markets, whereas such capabilities had previously been present primarily in very high-end CAD and graphic design workstations.
Unfortunately the chip itself was not fully functional and the drivers were very buggy. A special BIOS patch was released by Diamond for the Stealth II S which brought its clock speed up to the same level as the high-end Verite V chip, resulting in equal performance at a significantly lower price. The Monster3D line was based on 3dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 chips which did not contain a 2D engine, requiring a separate VGA card connected externally using a pass-through cable.
Diamond XtremeSound is the first sound card line launched after the company's 3v in Diamond Multimedia is an American company monsrer specializes in many forms of multimedia technology. In SLI, a pair monstsr Voodoo2 boards splits the effort of rendering the 3D scene between alternating raster lines, allowing performance to be nearly doubled. While the GUI accelerator was very capable, drivers from Diamond were rather buggy and were only revised a few times during the lifetime of the card.
The Vortex2-equipped MX was a superior card for 3D audio. monstter
