You could also just initialize the legacy addresses for the MPU-401, but that's a bit trickier. You can download an open source initializer from …

If you are using the Biostar M7VIG Pro mentioned in your signature then it should have it's own gameport, just enable MIDI in your BIOS and you should be good to go. If you need a better sound card for DOS than your Live! then the ESS Solo-1 and ALS4000 based cards are good for the later VIA …

You'll need a software MIDI bridge like loopMIDI to get the MIDI data from PCem to FSMP.

When I read the specs of the IBM Aptiva Series E Model 2158 it seems like it contains an ESS Solo-1 PCI sound chip integrated on the motherboard already. This might be very suitable for both DOS and Windows gaming.

IBM M1015 or Fujitsu D2607 (uses the LSISAS2008 chip) if you need one you can flash to run in HBA mode.

As for DOS usage I don't really know if the integrated northbridge of the Transmeta Crusoe are capable to do DDMA. Can you give us the full output from PCI.EXE to see which PCI IDs it uses?

Have you had a look in the "Frequency/Voltage Control" section of your BIOS? The "Clock By Slight Adjust" setting should be adjusted to 133MHz for the Pentium III.

Have you configured the SW1 jumpers to auto bus speed? It's located in the outer corner of the board by the DIMM slots. According to the manual pin 1 and 2 should be connected, same with pin 4 and 5. Suggest you try to reinstall the CPU if the jumpers are OK.

I haven't had much success with the ESS Solo-1 and motherboards with SIS chipset. It also looks like SIS dropped DDMA support after the 962 series of southbridges but even on the 962UA the Solo-1 fails. The ESS Solo-1 runs very well on chipsets from VIA but then you have to get a new motherboard.

You can use the /0 parameter with WAVEINIT to force loading. For your motherboard this sound card is useless for MS-DOS usage, get a Yamaha YMF7x4 PCI instead.
