The Covox Sound Master is a sound card released in 1989 by Covox, inc.
It features a Microchip Technology AY8930 chip for synthesized sounds (which was similar to the often used
General Instruments AY-3-8910) and was capable of 3 voices along with a white noise channel.
A DAC was included for playback of digitized sounds and two DE-9 joystick ports were provided
for connecting digital joysticks.
The Covox Sound Master was not very popular and is quite rare now. It's synthesis capabilities were viewed as inferior to the FM synthesis found in competing cards such as the Adlib card, the joystick ports were non-standard, and it didn't have widespread developer support.
