Does anyone have any information/knowledge on a ES-1868 sound card. I am working on a PC for a friend, trying to get sound board to go. He had it working under WIN 3.1 but can't seem to get it to go under Win 95. It is obviously a generic type card. It is plug and play, but Win95 won't find it. Win95 did find the card enough to allow me to use the CD that is connected to it. I have installed the drivers that came with it, they indicate that theyare for Win95, but still no luck. Any hints/tricks to getting this thing to work? Thanks in advance! Rodney

Rodney,
The ESS-1868 (and 1688) are simply the main chip that the sound card is
based on. You need to find out who the manufacturer of the card is so
you can hunt through AltaVista to find the latest drivers. The ESS
chips are described in www.esstech.com, but they do not have drivers.
Cheers,
jeff

Try this page for ESS drivers:
http://www.esstech.com/techsupp/updates/intro_ud.htm
btw, I found these via Frank's page:
http://www.conitech.com/windows/
and going to "All Companies" for ESS Tech. This link has over 785
companies links and is kept current. I also use the Win95/NT 4.0
drivers for a Celebris GL 5133st
