Technically speaking, one bit would be a square wave... Have you ever heard one of those? I hope you haven't put your speakers (especially the tweeters) through that kind of evil punishment!! One byte would be equivalent to a 4 bt sound source if it's in stereo or an 8 bit mono signal -- talk about a limited dynamic range!

But of course - I've programmed the MOS 6581/8580 ICs.
Hmm... ring modulation - there's a term I haven't heard in so long.

Okay, so then a byte would sound a bit(or rather 7 bits)better.
Semi-seriously though, 8 bits would allow for about a 50dB dynamic range, which is a heck of a lot better than most of the pop stuff coming out these days.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
