Try using some of the other drivers, like the STB ones. I think that the 
STB cards actually use a Cirrus Logic chip. I've got an ET4000 clone, and 
I thought I wouldn't be able to get Jordan working. So I tried the 
Diamond Speedstar driver and it worked fine (the Diamond Speedstar has an 
ET4000 - but they don't tell you that!).
