The Philips SAA1099 sound generator is a 6-voice sound chip used by some 1980s devices. [1] [2] [3]It can produce several different waveforms by locking the volume envelope generator to the frequency generator, and also has a noise generator with 3 preset frequencies which can be locked to the frequency generator for greater range.
The Texas Instruments SN76489 is a programmable sound generator chip from the 1980s, used to create music and sound effects on computers and video game systems. Initially developed by Texas Instruments for its TI-99/4A home computer, it was later updated and widely adopted in systems like the BBC Micro , ColecoVision , IBM PCjr , Sega's Master ...

A lossless audio coding format reduces the total data needed to represent a sound but can be de-coded to its original, uncompressed form. A lossy audio coding format additionally reduces the bit resolution of the sound on top of compression, which results in far less data at the cost of irretrievably lost information.
A programmable sound generator (PSG) is a sound chip that generates (or synthesizes) audio wave signals built from one or more basic waveforms, and often some kind of noise. PSGs use a relatively simple method of creating sound compared to other methods such as frequency modulation synthesis or pulse-code modulation. [1]
This is a list of notable programming languages optimized for sound production, algorithmic composition, and sound synthesis. ABC notation, a language for notating music using the ASCII character set; Bol Processor, a model of formal grammars enriched with polymetric expressions for the representation of time structures
Hardware audio codecs send and receive digital data using buses such as AC'97, SoundWire [5], I²S, SPI, I²C, etc. Most commonly the digital data is linear PCM , and this is the only format that most codecs support, but some legacy codecs support other formats such as G.711 for telephony.
