there is also the ay-3-8910 from yamaha, often used in arcade games (have 
plenty of them). there are some more fm chips from yamaha, iirc, also used in 
the atari computers.
then we have the famous SID (from the c64), available as pci card nowdays, 
called "hardsid" (you need old sid's to put in there, of course).
for speech, there have been speech synthesis chips like the SC-01 (have one as 
well, from a broken qbert arcade)

you may also check the MAME/MESS sources. most ancient (and current) 
soundchips are avilable as emulation there, used for the arcade and 
microcomputer emulations.

greets,
