### Known issues
* Some applications which heavily depend on specific **8088 CPU behavior** may not work properly
* The **Ensoniq AudioPCI** no longer works with the 2001 Creative WDM driver (`SBPCI_WebDrvsV5_12_01.exe`); [this driver is designed for ES1373/CT5880 cards only, has identical BSOD issues on a real ES1371, and only works in VMware and previous versions of 86Box due to emulation inaccuracies](https://richardg867.wordpress.com/2023/09/19/ensoniq-es1371-driver-bug/ "Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 and the driver bug nobody found")

* **Serial port passthrough** is not complete and may require reconfiguration in a future version
* **Serial port passthrough** may randomly stall the emulated machine if the other end is not connected
* The **ATI Mach8** and **Mach32** may not render some very specific video modes correctly

@@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ Many have requested that we emulate sound cards from **ESS**; more specifically,
The [**Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Vision_Pro_AudioSpectrum) family now joins 86Box as well, with the **Plus**, **16** and **16D**. These cards were praised at the time for their high audio quality (not that it matters in an emulated environment), and while they were mostly Sound Blaster compatible, many games and operating systems had **native drivers** to take full advantage of them. The Plus and 16's integrated **SCSI controller** is also emulated, taking the first available channel after any integrated SCSI controller that the selected machine might have, but before any configured SCSI cards.
The **Ensoniq AudioPCI** emulation was also expanded with Sound Blaster PCI cards based on the **ES1373** and **CT5880** chips. These were far more common than the previous ES1371 chip, which is better known through VMware's emulation than real cards. The newer chips are functionally equivalent and allow you to use later Creative drivers for Windows without running into [issues stemming from an incompatibility with the ES1371](https://richardg867.wordpress.com/2023/09/19/ensoniq-es1371-driver-bug/ "Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 and the driver bug nobody found"); though be careful with older ES1371-specific drivers, which may recognize the ES1373 but end up in crashes and other misbehavior.

**Small but important note:** similarly to the [AWE64 in v4.1.1](/2024/03/20/86box-v4-1-1.html#rom-set-update), users of the **Sound Blaster 16 PnP** and **Crystal CS4236B** should update the ROM set, as accurate Plug and Play ROMs were located. If this update is not present, these cards will **disappear from emulated machines** and the sound card selector until the ROM set is updated.
