As far as I remember the chipset is listed as some Qs3000. I don't
remember exactly. This PC is in Pune where I go on weekends and from there
I can not access my company account. Sorry for not providing
enough details.

What do you mean not supported? It worked with OSS driver as
SoundBlasterPro emulation, upto a point of breaking all windows in my
