Ensoniq has been purchased by Creative (sound blaster). I have one in a Gateway Pentium II and it works transparently, so far everything I have installed has auto-detected it and played without so much as a mouse click from me.

I could use to free up an ISA slot in my machine and have seen the Ensoniq PCI sound card advertised for $35. Does anyone on the list have any experience with these cards? The other reason I am looking is that the Ensoniq states that it is direct sound compatible. Dale Schroyer [log in to unmask]
