Open go.bat in that package to see the example. The lines with REM in front are commented out so only the lines below matter. I put the folder name you mentioned in front. If you put the lines below in your autoexec.bat it should work.
The bottom two lines are about the volume settings.

1c:\dos\drivers\sound\ESSCFG.EXE /V:1 /I:7 /D:1 /E:3 /A:220 /B:330 /J:E
2c:\dos\drivers\sound\ESSVOL.EXE /v:8 /l:0 /w:8 /m:0 /c:0 /s:8 /a:8 /p:0
3c:\dos\drivers\sound\ESSVOL.EXE

Where it says /I:7 you may have to change that to /I:5, if you prefer that IRQ. The parameters for ESSCFG there are: Verbose-output, IRQ, DMA1, DMA2, IO-Address, MPU-Address, Joystick-Enable.

Thanks for showing me that. Next how can i then see that my soundcard is loades in system. I dont see any post in dos start that showing me it is loading like i see my cd-rom is loading.

I am sure it should show a message, Since the second ESSVOL line is there to show a message of the volume settings.

You may need to read/learn more about MS-DOS basics, since you seem to have difficulties with running simple programs in DOS.

Also, ESSCFG.EXE is not technically a driver - what that's doing, is using ISA PnP to configure the hardware settings. After that, there's no driver as such - to most games, an ESS1868 or 1869 is a Sound Blaster Pro (except for the few that have an ESS Audiodrive option. If they have that, use it.) You just need to set up the hardware, and then probably set the BLASTER variable in your autoexec.bat so that games can know where the card is.

For the ESSCFG settings above, the BLASTER line would look like this:

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4 P330

That breaks down as Address 220h, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Type 4 (newer SB Pro), MPU-401 address 330.

recently I did the settings, here is the video

Yes, just did that, and thats works. i was just a bit confused about drivers here.. 😀 All game is working with sound

I use this, DOS folder, sorry

Good point but ESSCFG sets that automatically already (except the P330 part).
