I have an ESS ES1879 PnP Audiodrive (WDM) on port 0x220 using IRQ 5 and
DMA 1 and 5 according to Windows 98 Device Manager. But Allegro Setup
says I only have :

Generic SB
SB 1.0
SB 1.5
SB 2.0
SB Pro

but not ESS AudioDrive, SB16, or Ensoniq Soundscape.

Autodetect chooses SB Pro, which works just fine, but why doesn't it
detect my ESS? If I try to use it, the "Test" button says "Sound
initialization failed! ESS AudioDrive not found!"

BTW, if it matters, I have for MIDI:
Generic Adlib
OPL2
OPL3
SB MIDI-OUT
MPU-401

The Autodetect chooses OPL3, but only MPU-401 works. (The others
initialize fine, but literally fail silently: any attempt to play a MIDI
is ignored.
