ESS 1868 HELP!
Speedstr
I have an ess1868 sound card that will not work in win95...win95
recognizes it and sets up drivers..but when I go into device manager
there is a yellow exclamation there...clicking on properties gives me
this message: the decvice is not present, not working correctly, or does
not have all it's devices (error code 24)
trying to change irq's and dma's have no effect (I am only allowed to
change 1 dma from 00 to 3...nothing else...I also cannot change the
addresses...The device manager says it is an ess 1868 plug and play
audiodrive...I have no plug and play bios...using 486/100
any suggestions please?

Some of this has been caused by old drivers, etc. Ask your vendor for
the newest drivers.

Try deleting all sound card drivers from device manager. Close, then
restart the system and let the system autodetect the card if you've
set it to PNP, or run hardware detection if it's not PNP, and
reinstall the drivers.

I had the exact same problem. I think what caused my problem is I used
newer drivers that I found on the web and not the ones that came with
the card. Also, in the device manager, you should have an ESS 1868
Control Interface and an ESS 1868 Plug and Play Audio drive. If you're
haveing the same problem I was, then the yellow exclimation should just
on the audio drive part. I found that a way to fix this is to remove
only the control interface (the one without the exclimation) and then
restart windows. Windows should redetect it and fix itself. Tell me how
that works.
Later...

drivers..both with same results. I do have both a controler interface and
the audio driver and yes, the exclamation is in the audio driver portion.
I have removed the controler interface and it keeps coming back..I'm
going to rem out any portions of it in my ini files as well as any
references I can find anywhere else..Thanks for the info

I think searching and deleting all occurences of "1868" from the
registry.

I had the same problem...
1)Go to the ESS technologies site:
http://www.esstech.com/techsupp/updates/intro_ud.htm
Download the latest Win95 drivers - 1868W95.zip - and
unzip into a temp directory.
2)Delete all the hardware settings from the Device Manager (Control
Panel...System Icon) under Sound, video and game controllers.
3)Delete the drivers from the windows\system ( or Win95\system) directory
ie. es1868.drv, es1868.vxd, esfm.drv, essfm.drv, essmpu.drv
4)Do a complete shut down, power off.
5)Restart the computer, when win95 detects your sound card and
prompts you for the drivers - browse to the temp directory where
the newly downloaded drivers are and install those.
6) Restart the computer and the card should run.
Hope this works.
