- Well, Jay, the question now becomes: "Since WOLF and SOD don't (apparently)
- have native GUS support, do you know if the SBOS TSR supplied by Gravis is
- supposed to accurately reproduce stereo?" If so, then I can't hear any stereo
- effects from them and I almost always use headphones for games.
