Need some help getting my es1868 sound card working on dos 6.22, my MB is a VL/I-486SV2GX4 REV 2.1

I tried using the driver installer from phils computer lab but I keep getting a message saying es1868 not found.

https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ess-audiodrive-es1868.html

I looked around in bios setting and can't find any setting for sound.

I am not very dos savvy as of yet so it maybe a simple solution.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yeah, tried those as well, put them on a floppy and tried to run the exe and go.bat files, got the same error no 1868 found.

Alternatively, you can try UNISOUND to see if the sound card can get initialized.

Thanks I'll take a look at that tonight.
I just wonder if it isn't a issue apart from drivers since the drivers can't see the card. I would have thought there would be a bios setting or something but I can't find anything in the bios.
