Wanted: Sound chip interfaced with pic

But it is a laser gunshot...those are typically more melodious than white noise.

Yep, I smell what you're cooking. All that 'white' noise from the SOUND command has a LOAD of harmonics in it being square waves and all. Could probably roll that pitch value up and down fairly nicely to get that sort of sound.

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...

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.

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