I have 3 chips on my card (plus the usual assortment of connectors, resistors, caps and VRs and a xtal). The largest chip (100 pin) just says: ENSONIQ ES1371 AudioPCI 1371-0001-01 A8A2111 9819 USA The next larger one (48 pin) says: TriTech (or maybe InTech) 28023 9806 (Chip directory says 2802* parts are memory, but it doesn't have typical memory packaging, so that's doubtful). The third one has 8 pins and says 4565 80196 JRC Which has a part number kinda close to the AKM4540 that you talk about. It is located near the audio I/O portion of the card, so it might be a codec. The chip directory says: Colour transient improvement circuit DIL18 Phillips but it doesn't have a Phillips mark on it (I don't know what JRC is, or I'd try to find it on the web). The box calls the card a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI card, model ES1371, plus a whole slew of specs that are techno-babble to me. : But at least your problem is solvable, for we've got specs. What kind of timeframe are we looking at? I'm wondering if I should take the card back and get something else, or if I can wait until, say, new years, and have driver support. How complete are the specs? Is it something that one can write a driver for? Is that being worked on?
