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.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. I just got one a few days ago for my birthday. It has a little speaker but the sound quality was pretty good and the chip was sunk in a black plastic so I was unable to check what chip is used. It might be a ISDchipcorder type.

I need to record my sound (or transfer it from my pc).
I need interfacing example to a PIC16F690 and PBP code.

I think Mister_e uses this kid of chips...

i need good quality audio chip

If its quality your looking for the M25P32 PIC Audio is CD mono quality for short audio(gunshot).
Record a wave of a gunshot from a video game and use the included RS232 PC to M25P32 installer in the M25P32 program.

It would require converting from Proton to PicBasicPro but their similar.

The DA outputs 16 bit 44.1K CD quality mono and all thats then required is an amp and speaker to suite.

Another options is the Quadravox QV502.

I will be posting a PIC iPOD SD card 8 bit stereo wave player later next month (Proton).

Hi,

I've already bookmarked a page related to that stuff and a post from you, intending to have a look later.
So I can interface it directly to a pic then?

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.
