Learning from this, Creative produced the first Sound Blaster, which included the prior CM/S hardware but also incorporated the Yamaha YM3812 chip (also known as OPL2) that was found on the AdLib card, as well as adding a component for playing and recording digital samples. The card was, however, unsuccessful and lost to AdLib. Sim personally went from Singapore to Silicon Valley and managed to get RadioShack's Tandy division to market the product.
In 1987, they released a 12-voice sound generator sound card for the IBM PC architecture, the Creative Music System (C/MS), featuring two Philips SAA 1099 chips. The success of this audio interface led to the development of a standalone sound card. A part of this design included enhanced audio capabilities, so that the device could produce speech and melodies. Later, they started creating customized PCs adapted in Chinese. The firm began as a computer repair shop, where Sim Wong Hoo developed an add-on memory board for the Apple II computer.
