Diamond Multimedia is an American company that specializes in many forms of multimedia technology.

Testing
The testing setup consisisted of a fairly modern motherboard [ BIOSTAR TA75M ].
The sound card was seated in the motherboard and connected to a set of Logitech speakers via the 3.5 mm Line Out port.
Initially tested with a fully patched Windows 10 Operating System which partially recognized the sound card as a Multimedia Audio Controller and produced no sound.
No suitable Windows 10 drivers could be located for the device --
This item is ** NOT PLUG & PLAY COMPATIBLE ** with current Windows Operating Systems
-- Booted the computer with a fully patched Ubuntu 20.10 [ Groovy Gorilla ].
sound card was recognized [ by chipset as an Aureal Vortex au8820 ] and produced sound without any further action --
again, the Line Out was the only port tested
Screen shots were taken from the Windows 10 attempt showing the partially recognized card in Device Manger.
HWiNFO64 was able to ferret out the correct model of Diamond Sonic Impact S90.
Screen shots were also taken from the Ubuntu System Profiler & Benchmark with the recognized Aureal Vortex au8820 chipset.
