Hello

I have ESS Audio Drive ISA sound card with ESS1878s chip unknown brand this card is highly integrated with no jumpers at all it is pnp card.
I found that if volume levels are set to high I have crackling and poping coming from speakers there is essvol app for dos to change volume levels but some games for example Super Frog will set master volume level to the highest possible in that case 14 and this cause sound distortion and crackling I can set volume level to 8 but as soon as I start Super Frog volume will go all the way up I am using drivers from here preinstalled package updated by Gerwin.
Also is those sound distortions and cracklings could be caused by low quality capacitors ? this card have amplified output there is no way to turn it off no jumpers for it.
I know its no the greatest sound card but this is my only option for now my sound blaster 16 died card is not detected same with Opti 931 really dissapointed because it arrived dead.
I attached pic of this card its not mine but it looks same.
Really appreciate any help.
