Question

Just for the heck of it I loaded up some Creative 128 PCI soundcard drivers, without uninstalling my cheap Creative Ensoniq PCI soundcard drivers. Low and behold the drivers took and now I have all the cool apps. and wavesets working on the Esoniq! Anyone hear of this before?
Obviously the cards must have the same chipset. There are no conflicts, all the extra features work, and there's no smoke coming from the card. Thought I'd pass this along for other owners of this truly crappy card.

Hey RE,
My guess is that most cheap soundcards are "Sound Blaster compatible" and will use the SB drivers.

Same chipset......try the SB 512 drivers..what the heck!

The Ensoniq is *not* a crappy card..it just comes with crappy drivers and no apps.
