Sorry,
seems to be a Soundblaster 16 PnP Card. There is no OPL3 on it 
Only the the oldest original Sundblaster 16 (without PnP) have OPLs.
Onother card with OPL is the Soundblaster Pro2 (CT1600).
Tip: The OPL3 is clearly marked with “Yamaha YMF262”.
Damn, I think I just bought a newer one!!
The ebay listing said "sound blaster:, not “sounds blaster pnp”… Maybe I won’t pay after all!
I just bought a lot of 10 cards off ebay most of which were “SB 16’s” so I was hoping for quite a few OPL’s.
Ended up with two.
One on a SB numbered CT2860
And one on a Media Vision card from 1993 650-0044-56B FCC id: IXW-PAS16NS
Both OPL’s are labled YMF262-M but under that they both have different (what I assume to be) revision codes:
9515 EALC on the SB
9307 GDAD on the MV
Same goes for the YAC’s on them both YAC512-M but then underneeth:
5190c on the SB
306ea on the MV
Not sure how well they’ll play together if I use both YAC’s on one MBFM but I may give it a try. Or I may buy some more cheap sound cards and hope for a matching set.
huh… so i have to find another one :‘( :’( thanks!

Yeah, that’s the problem! Creative sold at least 4 different “Soundblaser 16”. From the original one with OPL up to several PCI cards
Take care with the Soundblaster Pro’s too! Only “Soundblaster Pro II” has the OPL (The II is important!!!)

Mine is a CT2770, I’ll let you all know whether it has the chips.
Perhaps we could compile a list of which cards definitely do and do not have the chips, with details of the card, such as the CTxxxx numbers?
Everyione, please post any info you have in here 
Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16, code: FCC ID:IXW-PAS16LL
SCSI ISA SoundBlaster looks like it has both the YAC and OPL chips here.
Card is a CT1770 SB 16 SCSI

From another thread:
The YMF-262/YAC-512 can also be found on this card:
Mozart, ISA, ca 1995
OTI601 “Mozart”, 9501
AD1848KP “SoundPort”, DAC/ADC, Mixer etc, PLCC68, 9402
YMF262 OPL-3, 9351
YAC512 DAC
AN1324 Quad-OpAmps (2)
TC4053 DigitalSwitch
KA558D2 Timer
TDA1517 2x6W Amp
I have the following soundcards at home with the YMF262 on them:
Mediamagic ISP-16
Creative Sound Blaster Pro 2 (CT1600)
Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum 16
Turtle Beach Tropez Rev 2.0
Also when I had been at the local surplus shop, I found the following cards with YMF262 and the YAC512 on them:
ESS AudioDrive (no part number, ASIC was labelled ES688F)
Aztech (no p/n, ASIC AZT2316A)
Creative Sound Blaster 16 (only marking was “Copyright 1992”)
Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16, code: FCC ID:IXW-PAS16LL
The two chips are also on the IXW-PAS16P
(Media Vision PAS16 LMSI 1992)
Thank you! I’ve added this info to the MBHP_OPL3 page
Best Regards, Thorsten.
The CT2770 does not have the chips… The 2770 is the SB16 Value
AW35(Crystal CS4237)/AW37(Crystal CS4235) Does not have the chips
As per another post:

The CT4170 is a SB Vibra 16X, and according to that image, I don’t see the chips…
i have got here a ct4170 sound blaster card ISA but i can;t seem to find the Opl chip does anyone know if ths card has the chip in there ?
For what it’s worth: the CT2260 has the chips

Can someone confirm if this card is usable…
