No drivers needed for basic DOS sound cards. This just needs initializing. It looks very much like a relabeled OPTi 929A. Set your preferred resources with SET BLASTER, run Unisound and it will probably just work.

If you don't know which resources to use, try:

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 P330

Unisound can be found here:
UNISOUND - Universal ISA PnP Sound Card Driver for DOS v0.81b

Under Windows 98(SE) I'd expect it to be autodetected with PnP and work out-of-the-box, otherwise the Win95 .VXD drivers might work.

unisound does not detect the card
with set blaster parameters there is no sound
and also windows not detect the card too

Thank you, I managed to make music play on this card. But it didn't work with the sound. For example, the game Descent detects the Microsoft Sound System card, but there is no sound. If you manually set the Sound Blaster with the parameters 220/5/1, then when trying to test the sound, I hear the first few letters "Seve..." (from the full Seven) and the sound immediately breaks off.
The drivers from this archive did not work in Windows. But this is not important.
