Normally, if you know which ESS chip your Presario has (Compaq Diags for
Windows will tell you), one of the drivers off the ESS website will work fine. HH "navyvet655" wrote in message ... I also received nothing but Illegal operation messages when using the SP-11386.exe driver downloaded from HP or even Driversguide.com on a Presario 5360. I finally went back to driversguide.com and started looking for ESS Technology drivers for the ESS solo chipset. I really only wanted to find a driver close enough to work. I had already exhausted all other possible sites looking for other copies of the specified SP-11386 driver. What I found were 3 drivers. 3038.zip, ES_1938_1946_SE3047.zip and ESS-ES1938S-1MBSolo-1-AudioDrive-V4[1].05.1087-Fe4-1999. (Wow, what a name). I download all three and expanded them into individual folders. I installed each driver until one worked which in this case was the second driver, ES_1938_1946_SE3047.zip. The driver installed as advertised and I rebooted. It found new hardward and loaded files from the windows 98 disk and completed the process. I went to the Multimedia icon in the Control Panel and found I had the ESS AudioDrive listed and active. I tested the sound in the Sound icon in the Control Panel and I had sound. I can not say this will work for anyone else, but at least it is an idea. ============== Posted through www.HowToFixComputers.com/bb - free access to hardware troubleshooting newsgroups. |
