I have this card and it works fine in Win3.1 / Win9x etc. Loading the DOS SB16 emulation appears to work, it detects the PCI card, and had the correct IRQ and address but no games can detect the card and running APTEST etc doesn't work.

Separately running APLEGACY just fails all tests saying cannot detect card.

I've tried some of the creative SB dos drivers but none of them detect the card.

Any ideas? I need this card as it's the only one I've managed to get working under Win3.1

Sure you got the right drivers? I'm using this for my Sound Blaster 64 PCI (ES1370).

Also remember to use a different IRQ for Sound Blaster emulation than the PCI IRQ of the card.

I'll try those. I've been using the DOS drivers that came with the Windows driver package for the Ensoniq PCI. I'd tried a few other Creative Audio PCI drivers but none of these would detect the card. I@m assuming the Ensoniq card has different hardware IDs or something despite having the same chipset.
