already tried that one but thanks anyway

Hmm, that should have worked.

The chipset is an ES1371 Audio PCI device, even as fuzzy as the pic is I can still make this out.

maybe you need to try a different PCI slot...

ive tryed it in two machines they know sumerts there but no mater what driver i try it wont have it .im going to try it in a win xp machine next n see what happens.

or a CREATIVE driver set instead of an Ensoniq one

Don't ask, it's really stupid what Creative does. I can't get Ensoniq drivers working on Creative AudioPCIs either.

On my ES1373 the Creative AND Ensoniq DOS drivers work fine!

As for W98 I only tried the drivers from the Creative site and they also worked just fine. It's possible his card is faulty...

just tryed it in a win xp machine works fine that reconises it as a creative audio pci had a look on creatives site cant find any drivers for win 98se

If it's an actual "Ensoniq AudioPCI", then you must go to the E-Mu site and get the Ensoniq AudioPCI drivers from their download area. There is a driver package in there that turns the card into a SBPCI64.

The Creative drivers simply don't recognize the vendor and device IDs of the original Ensoniq cards. After Creative bought out Ensoniq, they eventually put out that SBPCI64 upgrade pack for Ensoniq customers.

E-Mu and Ensoniq merged. They were called "E-Mu Ensoniq" for awhile. That's why the Ensoniq drivers are on their site.

Do the drivers refuse to install, or do they install and refuse to work?

finaly got it to work found some drivers its reconised as a sb audio pci 64v in win 98 .thanks everyone for your help
