Hyper Voice

Hyper Voice is a headphone-only sample output channel introduced with the WonderSwan Color. It allows converting 8-bit signed and unsigned, mono and stereo samples into 16-bit signed PCM sent directly to the headphone output, after mixing with the traditional four channels.

 ++++-++++--++++-++++- Signed 16-bit sample.

Unlike the Sound sample output registers, these can be written to - allowing for direct 16-bit sample output.
