Equipment used for Performance Tests

5.4

Sound card


When making a voice communication through the KNS, both the host and remote PCs must have the sound function. The Sound Blaster16 or higher sound card is recommended, and we made the performance tests using all available sound cards in our hand.
(We basically made the test by using models sold in Japan.)
