Welcome To ESS Technology
Technical Support

Welcome to the ESS Technology help desk. We are here to be a second source of support in the event the manufacturer of your product is unavailable. In all cases, it is best that you contact your manufacturer for technical assistance or updated drivers.

ESS Technology produces integrated circuits* (chips) for manufacturers of personal computer and consumer electronics. The generic software drivers that we offer on this site are for personal computer implementations of our audio and communication chips. To obtain support related to our consumer chipsets, please contact us by clicking here (or by using the contact us button at the left of this page).

It is always preferable to use the driver intended for your specific card. Please contact the manufacturer of your sound card or modem for their latest version. To download and install the generic software driver from this website, you must have the exact ESS Technology chip ID and be running Windows OS. Please be sure to read our FAQ before downloading and installing any drivers.

You can contact Technical Support by clicking here (or by using the Contact Tech Support button at the top of this page). The Technical Support staff will reply to you promptly.

Note: Please remember that the generic drivers from ESS Technology will work with most implementations of our chips, but are installed at your own risk. ESS Technology is not responsible for faulty installations.

*ESS Technology does not manufacture video, sound, or modem boards.
