Wanted: Sound chip interfaced with pic

[skimask]

If you do it right you can even use the internal DAC to generate just about any sound.

Internal DAC? Which PIC has one of those?

[xnihilo]

Quikvoice from eletech.com is an audio chip that van be connected to EPROM (and what about EEPROM) which contains the data. Triggering the right pin will run the play sequence.
It could be easily interfaced with a pic.
Problem is it is a proprietary format that needs special software and hardware.
I need a stuff like the sound chip found in audio greeting cards...

Internal DAC? Which PIC has one of those?

Sorry, was thinking of the dsPICs, I use quite a few that have internal 16bit Audio DACs.

Wanting to get high quality sound out of something that is most likely going to be used in a noisy environment anyways with, most likely, a speaker with dubious quality, an amplifier that's going to be simple with minimal parts count...and so on... Almost sounds like trying to soak a turd in perfume!
Not dogging you or your project at all here (believe it or not).
I'm just wondering how much quality you'd actually need for a 'gunshot' sound if you're out and about, playing this laser tag game, battery powered modules, with the unit/speaker mounted in a 'laser gun' of some sort. I mean, how big of a speaker can you mount in the thing? And what sort of quality can you possibly get out of that size of a speaker? Not a lot. And if you do want a lot of quality, how much are you going to spend on each speaker? How big is the magnet going to be? Do you want to carry around that much weight while playing this sort of game?
Sure, 100% highest quality all the way around a project is nice...but, wow, sometimes ya just gotta draw the line and go with whatever works.

Decent or reasonable... that's the question
if reasonable ISD4xxx would do.

for better quality or high quality, it's obvious you really want to avoid anything like MP3... but then there's a lot of are plenty satisfied with MP3... way better than that poor noisy ISD4xxx but... you will need storage devices (MMC card or whatever else)

Worth to have a look at Winbond website, they should have better chip than those 'Telephone line' vouched ISD4002.

Hello Mister_e,

I need a sound thats not FUZZY (I mean white noise being heard when the sound is over).
Do you know what is needed (software and hardware) to use ISD chips?
Another lasergame project (Milestag, from Jim Robertson) uses a ISD 2550 but the sound is fuzzy and this chip is discontinued anyway.
Do you have an idea? MP3 with a little amplifier might do the trick, that's why I thought aout that..

Just a thought. I got a birthday card once that had a 10 second record chip in it. You know the kind when the card is opened it says something. PIC pin goes high to activate?

I do not have a part number and maybe the chips already mentioned are this.

A turd... Nice...
I need a REALISTIC gunshot, that's all. Unless you have a replacement solution for such noise, your posts are somehow irrelevant... It looks like you need to have something to say to any post on this forum...

Thank you. I'm not going to change the compiler or the programming language.
