Howdy again. :) I have done a little more expirmentation with this sound card. I had done all the above, yesterday with no success. :( So I started to look at the device driver for the es1370. Playing with the probe function, I noticed that it was looking for bytes like so: #define ES1370_PCI_ID 0x50001274 What I was getting was: #define ES1371_PCI_ID 0x13711274
