Ultimately, what I want is to make my ES1938 to emulate the sound well, at least know if it is possible somehow, then perhaps I'll try to whip out another burst of my 1337-skills.ESS ISA Audio Chip ES1868, ES1869, ES1878, ES1879, ES1887 and ES1888It. Bad emulation software caused by the company? Bad DOS driver version? Wrong setting? What I'd like is to know why my card's behavior is as such, knowing that all cards can play any sound. ![]() ^ Have I guessed the answer to this one: A Sound Blaster 16 or Pro? Finally, is there THE PERFECT legacy card, which plays EVERY GAME, PERFECTLY? Maybe a manual/help site you know of could help me with this? Should I search more, or is it IMPOSSIBLE to emulate it "properly"? Did I miss a setting? Fry the damn card goddamnit it still won't work like i want it to. I have searched and found many versions of those MS-DOS initialization files. Should I just trash the damn card? Does it suck or what? Is it a low-end? How can I know this about them, in the future? How can sound 'suck'?! I mean, any card can play any sound, right? Whoa?! Also there are no subtitles, what the hell.)

I cannot understand why it works so bad! Is it the emulation? (Pain in the ass, guys, hard to disagree, eh! hehe!) It works, BUT. I know about the required files, the emulation setup, and the like. (Using legacy VXD driver (not WDM) for DOS games!) I am experiencing difficulties with a ES1938 (/1946?) AudioDrive sound card. Since some time, I have decided to set up an old Win9x/DOS machine next to my new WinXP. If the reader knows about ESS Technologies PCI sound cards, or sound cards in general, then any help OR advice/explanation are VERY appreciated! :twisted: If helped, though, I WILL gladly return the favor when I can. Howdy! I'm new here, sorry I could not keep it short. *Warning: This thread means a DEEP dive into 'ye old times!* ![]()
