Thank you, finally some great answers. My computer is a gateway computer.

It does sound like the card is an Ensoniq. I downloaded the new driver from Gateway suggested link. I got my sound speaker icon back and the mixer back on my desktop, but still no sound. I restarted computer and try downloading driver a couple of more times and still no sound. Everything looks like it should. Could I just have a defective card?

I have not attempted to open CPU to look inside. Please keep helping. Directs you directly to the download page of one particular driver - so sign in to the web site then cut and past my link - down load the driver and install the driver - if it doesn't work just use the restore previous driver in device manager - now (from memory) there is a subtle difference between the driver for the ES1373 and the one for ES1371/ES1373 ie your card maybe a ES1371 follow! In which case the ES1371 is not suitable - the driver Bob proffitt has suggested is for a ES1373 so that may not be suitable - by the way the prefix 'ES' stands for EnSoniq! One other thing make sure 'wave out' is not muted in the volume control panel and is turned up - you may also be having trouble with found if you have a voice modem and something is wrong in that department (ie wrong voice modem driver). Also make sure your speakers are plugged into the output plug!! Do you get any sound at all???

The card you have is an old version from Creative Labs. It is a good sound card, BTW - I also use this card to do multi-track recording all the time.

XP (& xp Pro) prefers WDM drivers, the latest drivers for most sound cards. BUT - Creative doesn't have the updated drivers (Been there done that too) So XP came up with them from 'somewhere'. THe WDM drivers work best, just go into the sound card setup (Creative Mixer) and make sure you have everything selected properly and lines to your sound system appropriately plugged. I have the same soundcard. Only diffrence is, I can hear sound but my microphone does not work. There is nothing wrong with the mic, it has something to do with the soundcard. The 'advance' button for 'voice recording' on the 'voice' tab is greyed out in the 'sound and Audio Devices Properties' window.

The mic worked propperly until +-2 weeks ago when it just stopped. I have format my pc and re-installed everything, but still same problem My system is: Win XP Proffesional, SP1 + SP2, 256MB DDR RAM, 1,6GHz P4. Rapelay Full Game. Hi der, i'm zyff here. I'm having the same sound card as yours but i have no problem in that.

I'm using windows XP paltform and it outo detect the said sound card. I have a few questions to ask regarding your problem.Is your current motherboard had a build in sound card? If yes did u deactivate it? You can give it a try at the Bios setup environment and disable your build in sound card. Did your operating system detect your Creative PCI (ES1371, ES1373)sound card at the device manager? If yes try to dismount the card from the pci slot's and try this trick. A)beneath the card there's a copper plate.

B) take an eraser and try to clean up those copper plates by brushing on it (both side) c) after the cleaning u can see the cooper plate will look as good as new after brushing off those tiny debris made by the eraser. D)mount it back to the pci slot and start your pc.

( Don't waste your time browsing for the driver at Creative page. ) They don't have it.
