When the card is inserted, try bending it slightly to the sides, see if it has any effect. Also try the card in other games like Doom.

This issue can be caused by bad capacitors, I'm talking about the two large 470uF amplifier caps. Would that happen even if both channels are jumpered to disable the amplifiers? Well, I had the same problem with my CT4170 and like your sound card, changing the jumpers didn't fix the problem. But …

I'd swap the ESS for a Yamaha card as think Decent sounds best with XG Midi but again I'm nit picking and wouldn't actually buy the hardware unless I had another system planned where I could use the ESS. Is this good Yamaha? I see it is missing YMF704 chip... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ …

When I got this card one of the caps was damaged, so I replaced all of them with these beautiful ELNA caps. IMG_20240429_152016.jpg Those are some of the prettiest caps I've ever seen! Nice work! :) Family story, grandma to uncle when telling him to tidy up the electronic components in his bedroom …
