I am running Windows 3.11 for Workgroups on Dosbox and I am curious if there is a way to turn on general midi. I have the sb16 drivers installed, but do I need any other drivers for midi?

edit: Also related, how do I increase the volume of the fm synth in windows 3.x using the sb16 drivers?

I tried fiddling around with MIXER settings, but windows 3x automatically resets CDAUDIO, SB, and FM to 58:58. Not so bad for sound effects, but too low for music.

I figured out my MIDI problem, but what about the volume control in Windows 3.x?

Provide details on your test of volume control in Windows 3.1x.

The SB16 drivers for Windows 3.x should install a Win16 mixer application (e.g. C:\SB16\WINAPPL\CTMIXER.EXE) to change volume levels. However, you can use the sbmixer=false setting if you don't want DOSBox's mixer volume levels to be overriden by the SB mixer volume levels.
