As I do have a physical ES1370 sound card I want to share my experience. 1. I installed Windows 7 64-bit "Advanced Home" Edition, Windows notified it tried but cannot find a driver for it.
2. I tried to go to Device Manager and ask for a driver update, selected to let windows choose the right driver on internet. It prompts fail to find any driver. 3. Google on the Internet finds multiple website offering download of a driver whose file name is "creative_es1370_60_win7.rar" and titled "ES1370/ES1371/ES1373 driver for Windows 7 version 6.00", which doesn't work for me. Examples: http://download.pchome.net/driver/hardware/sound/download-100249.html http://driver.cnd8.com/qudong/13203.htm ( both site checks HTTP head referral thus I cannot give direct download link. But on the later site, the download link is easy to find without reading Chinese, look at lower left column of the page where there is a column of 3 anmiated download icon, any one of these icon should work.) It confuses me that the driver is not offered on English websites but I only found them on Chinese sites. Download the driver, unpackage it to a folder, in Device Manager I update driver and specified location of the driver, Windows 7 prompts me no driver was found in that place. Open the .inf file in the drvier package it is obvious this is a generic driver for almost a hundred different models of sound cards. Conclusion: still no clue of a working driver of ES1370 The wiki page on http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Sound suggested Windows 7 should find the driver by itself from the Internet, but the driver constantly crash. It is not true in my case. My Win7 cannot find the driver by itself, although, there is a chance it work without crash thanks to the physical device in presence. -- KVM and audio driver in Windows 7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419182 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
