Give these a try, increase your mem... upgrade the MB.

Been down that road. Just search the forum for ES1371. None of the XP AudioPCI, PCI64, PCI128, etc. drivers on the Creative web site will work with the ES1371 or ES1373. If you read the details, you will see that the driver is for specific model numbers.

Once you have identified the model or chipset number, you can download drivers here. Following is a list of model numbers.

Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI (CT4810, CT4811, CT4812, CT4815 and CT4816)
Vibra 128 (CT4810, CT4811, CT4812, CT4815 & CT4816)
SB PCI 64 with the 1370 or 1371 chipset *
SB PCI 128 (CT4700) with the 1370 or 1371 chipset *
SB PCI 128 (CT4750/CT4751)
* There are no driver updates for PCI 128 (CT4700) and PCI 64 cards based on the ES1370, ES1371 and ES1373 Chipsets for Windows Me/2000/XP - you must use the drivers built into these operating systems.
If you have a PCI 128/Vibra 128/PCI 64 soundcard that has either one of the following CT model numbers or chipset numbers, contact the PC manufacturer for drivers:

CT2515
CT2518
CT58xx
550x where x is a number between 0 and 9

After doing a bit of digging on Gateway, it appears that you have the Ensoniq ES1373 controller w/ a Crystal CS4297 codec. Both of these are natively supported in XP, however getting the combination recognized could be difficult, particularly if you upgraded from 98 to XP (instead of doing a clean install). Creative does not have XP drivers for the ES 1373 and Crystal (Cirrus) does not have XP drivers for anything. Gateway has a W2K driver for what appears to be your audio on its web site (if you provide the serial # on the web site, it will give you the specific downloads for your machine). http://support.gateway.com/support/d...3&uid=64175079 You could also try the Cirrus W2K driver for the CS4299 (there is no CS4297 driver) http://www.cirrus.com/en/support/drivers/audio/OS3.html Uninstall any drivers you have already installed before trying either of these.
