Ensoniq ES1370 Drivers

Thanks, these drivers could be installed without exclamation mark, but im not getting any audio such some annoying sound, or just bluescreens.. I cant be sure, but i blame Qemu more than driver, it could also work with some specific Qemu machine type.. but i didnt find any relevant info.

You should check the dev_id to find the right driver.

I didn't try it on QEMU but one of my workstations have integrated Ensoniq ES1370, and only working driver is http://ftp.dyu.edu.tw/pub/e64w9xup.exe.html

Thanks, i tried it but im getting error like with lots of other drivers..

 THe AudioPCI iterrupt has been routed incorrectly by the system. Sound inactive, Use Automatic seetting in the Device manager. - Im getting during installation - before any reboot, i maybe can try to change irq to another one, but i dunno which one is preferred by this card?

  I device manager i just see - Automatic settings - on, IRQ - 11 , Input and Output Range C000-C0FF no conflicts.

  What is best way how to show ids in Windows 98? I know that is somewhere in register, i used Uknown ID identifier, but it has its problems.

Try these drivers, they have the same hardware ID in the INF as the one you posted: http://www.sct181.com/ibkkin/driver/z_98/audio_98_only/pci64.exe

Thanks its in some very unfriendly language.. i see only some special character.. but im installing it anyway.. but right during installation im getting same error incorrect irq  error.

We could waste time here, its not proven and as i know Qemu, it could be just some stub, or not working thing.. so we are pioneers, i wasnt able to find any online info here. Maybe if someone understand low level C code, can check Qemu source ( https://www.qemu.org/download/#source ) if make sense to try make it working.. 
   So far i made within Win98 Qemu machine, working SB 16 and AC97 (it has SB fallback too), there is GUS emulator, but wasnt able to make it working and Crystal4231 what is just main card which, but exact card.. 
  SB16 emulation has its issues, but im not really sound guy.. here are details, some problems had some real SB16 too, here are details:

   I have to test AC97 same way its WIP

  Thanks, but that is exactly low level way which im trying to avoid.. I tried old free Everest it crashed, same as some more modern Aida, but newest portable HW info is working with Qemu, i see same numbers as with SIV, only in some more typical format.

If someone just want to help and install Windows 98 qemu machine on Win/Linux/MacOS its really easy..

Download official Windows installer, install it.

- install Tap driver - easiest way is just install OpenVPN package // Only if you need networking..
- select both - your Lan adapter and new tap connection device in control panel networking.. create brigde
- rename Tap adapter connection to TAP

For full screen use CRTL+ALF+F
For release input CRTL+ALT+G

Later you can enable some acceleration by these parameters:
-accel hax // HAXM Parameter, not working for me with 4.2 im getting crash when Windows desktop is loaded, but maybe it can work for you, pleas report restuls.
-accel whpx // Hyper-V Parameter, pleas report results.
HAXM need HAXM package installed,
WHPX need Hyper-V enabled - its not play at the start of 2020 well with Vmware on same machine, but they are working on it..
Info: https://www.qemu.org/2017/11/22/haxm-usage-windows/

You can try instead of cirrus , emulate std graphics with universal VBE9x drivers.. at least for me and Linux is significatly faster for 2D games, just install 32M version, it would be enough for Win9x.
https://bearwindows.zcm.com.au/vbe9x.htm Beware, that they are probably not working for Win98 Dos Windows mode, Cirrus does.
To fix Win9x Dos mode, you have to do this (force full screen): VBEMP9X driver does not support windowed mode in Windows DOS box. I believe this is documented. You need to create a shortcut to force fullscreen, or run the game from a fullscren DOS box instead of clicking the GAME exe directly.

I also found way how to mount any Windows folder as Qemu as not system drive, so you can for example quickly import data, share Qemu nad Dosbox game games folder etc.. Its working just as FAT32 drive.
-drive file=fat:rw:C:\temp\QemuFat32Import,format=raw,media=disk ^

Qemu Starting script example:  // are just comments you need to remove them from real script
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 ^
-vga cirrus -soundhw sb16,adlib,pcspk ^    // Things soundcard line you can use: also es1370,gus,cs4231 
-rtc clock=host,base=localtime ^
-boot cd ^
-hda HDDs\Win98System2-8GB-440.vmdk ^  // create own virtual disk image 
-hdb HDDs\Win-Data-28G.vmdk ^  // Data disk
-drive file=Isos\Win98SE-ENG.iso,index=2,media=cdrom ^  // Windows 98 CD for installation
-drive file=Isos\Win98-Data-and-Drivers-CD2.iso,index=3,media=cdrom ^  // Custom CD image is the way how to quickly import data..
-netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname=TAP -device rtl8139,netdev=mynet0 ^  // Bridge networking
-usb ^
-k en-us
