No, I was just pointing to the Wikipedia page because it had some info 
on the wavesets. The Creative drivers use similar (the same) wavesets as 
the Ensoniq ones. You should need only a single waveset. It's just that 
when you use the Creative drivers you need to check to make sure a 
waveset is present, is found and loaded by the driver.

Because not all Creative drivers ship with a waveset, even though they 
need one, this could be the cause of the problem. You need to install 
the waveset manually separately then.
