yes it does.

Specs: Application:Audio; Capacitance:1000µF; Tolerance, capacitance:±20%; Series:AM; Voltage, rating:16V dc; Capacitor dielectric type:Aluminium Electrolytic; Case style:Radial; Pitch, lead:5mm; Tempera; |

I know someone in this forum said that there is no benefit increasing the capacitance to over about 470uF, since that part of the circuit only powers the DSP and therefore shouldn't influence the analogue sound of the card. I tried most of the mods in this forum just to find out for myself what the effect on sound is. Replacing the power cap by a 3300uF one caused my computer not to boot, a 1100uF one caused the soundcard not to be detected in windows. Another 220uF in parallel with the old one (440uF total) worked but had no discernible effect on the sound. |
