Creative Labs never acknowledged that some of their soundcards were suffering from the Hanging Note Bug. But does that mean it doesn't exist? Well, in this video, you can hear it for yourself! I am going to test the game Hexen and DOOM and you won't believe your own ears! I am also trying to use a tool called FixMPU to mitigate the bug!
