    Whereas the MonsterSound lineup was targeted at no-holds-barred gamers, the Sonic Impact cards  were more generally aimed, and were cheaper and less powerful.
    Still the lineup consisted of several capable cards; including this one.

    Diamond Multimedia is an American company that specializes in many forms of multimedia  technology.
    They have produced graphics cards, motherboards, modems, sound cards and MP3 players.
    They were one of the major players in the 2D and early 3D graphics card competition throughout  the 1990s and early 2000s.
    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.
