What is the 'CB2 Sound'? THE "CB2 SOUND" This is the sound made by sending square out of the 6522 IC on some Commodore computers. It is called 'CB2', since that is the name of the pin on the 6522 that outputs the waveform. I won't go into a complete description, except to say that most models of the PET had the capability, and most PET owners used it as the ONLY sound source, since the PETs did not have a sound chip. Although the VIC did have some sound capabilities, by that time Commodore had realized its widespread use and included some information on it in the Commodore VIC-20 Programmer's Reference Guide. For more info, reach for your nearest VIC PRG and look at page 232.
