The so-called hanging note bug is a bug present on certain models of the Creative Sound Blaster series. Affected are models with DSP revisions 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13. It can only occur when the card is utilized simultaneously for sound effects and wavetable MIDI music either with external modules or Wave Blaster daughterboards.
