I've got an ESS ES688 sound card on my notebook-- it works as advertised 
under W95 (IRQ5, IO 220, DMA 1)... but I'm unable to get it to work under 
NT 4.0 Workstation.
I've tried both the drivers on the NT CD, and from ESS's website-- with 
equal lack of success... installing from Control 
Panel/Multimedia/Drivers/Add gets me a dialogue box with the proper IO 
setting... but the next dialogue, choosing all IRQ possibilities results in 
an error beep and nothing goes any further.
