ESS688 is not Ensoniq product/card! Its ESS Tech chip for Soundblaster compatible soundcards.

I thought ESS was Ensoniq. They are different companies?

Thank you for locating this! How did you find it?

The only thing they had in common was they both used "ES" in their chip markings.

Just google it for file name and third or fourth result - https://www.helpdrivers.com/sound/ESS/ES688/
😉

With a domain name like that, I thought it was a fake driver website. I can remember when driverguide.com was real. 🙁

Driverguide.com is still real, but finding the correct link is definitely a chore.

This method of downloading from DriverGuide.com still works (for now): Re: DriverGuide.com’s Not-so-surprising Scammy Tactics
