Sound Hardware
The OKIM6258 runs at a software selectable 4MHz or 8MHz. The clock can be divided by 512, 768 or 1024, so the resulting sampling rates are:
| clock | divisor | sample rate (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
| 4MHz | 512 | 7812 |
| 768 | 5208 | |
| 1024 | 3096 | |
| 8MHz | 512 | 15625 |
| 768 | 10516 | |
| 1024 | 7812 |
Which gives us 5 unique sampling rates (since 4M/512 = 8M/1024 = 7812).
