What's the cycle number?
Also, I don't know which fluidsynth patch Daum uses, but if it's the one I provided (check here Fluidsynth soundfont patch) the soundfont is specified in fluid.soundfont.

bloodbat to be honest i don't know/understand what you mean.

i tried for hours now to get running sam and max with DBGL - with midi sound - without success.

i installed bassmidi and loaded up a soundfont.

if i start d-fend reloaded i just choose general midi, run setmuse (setup) from sam and maxand also choose General Midi.
If i cklick "Test Music" than I can hear a sample of the working Midi Music using the Soundfont.

But it is impossible for me to get it running in DBGL.I add a profile for Sam and Max.

If I start setmuse for the game i also choose "General Midi", if i click "Test Music" than i can hear nothing and dosbox freezes.

there must be a reason why dosbox and/or DBGL can't get access to MIDI. Do you have any Idea how to configure DBGL properly
to get the game working? I am using DBGL, DOSBox Daum und Win 7.

I've no idea what's the problem, copying the soundfont into the dosroot folder, setting mididevice=synth and midiconfig=SGM-V2.01.sf2 seems to work just fine for me. Maybe try changing your DOSBox version-specific settings as to use 'alternative startup' as shown in the attached screenshot; this should allow for the console-window to show on startup, maybe you can find some information there as to why the audio is not playing.

rc thanks for your reply but i think i have to give up. i have no clue what i am doing wrong.
i tried a last time now and installed a whole fresh new windows (!) on my system partition.

1. In root of c:\ i created folder DBGL
2. In root of DBGL i created folder DOSBox Daum and copied DOSBox Daum into it
3. Into dosroot folder i copied SGM-V2.01.sf2
4. In dosroot folder i created a folder SAMNMAX and copied the game into it
5. In DBGL i added a new profile SAMNMAX
6. In sound config i setup like on the attached screenshot
7. when running setmuse and choosing General Midi and klicking "Test Sound" nothing comes, DOSBox freezes.

8. I have the same problem when setting up pure DOSBox without DBGL. When i edit the dosbox.conf manually and choose
mididevice synth and midiconfig SGM-V2.01.sf2 it freezes the same way.

So it can't be a problem of DBGL. I tried also with BASSMIDI, setting up there the soundfont and than using with DBGL - same result.

The only working option currently is load up the sound font with BASSMIDI and then use D-Fend and choose that BASSMIDI Soundfont in D-Fend.
If i than open setmuse and choose General Midi i get this superb sound and nothing freezes.

I could be mistaken, but I think that when using the BASSMIDI driver, you will have to choose/define the midi device no. to use in the 'Config' field. Simply start DOSBox and type 'mixer /listmidi' to get a list of midi devices and their associated numeric value. Then put the number for BASSMIDI into the DBGL 'Config' field, set 'Midi device' to 'default' and retry your game.

i solved the puzzle. it was pure coincidence while i was playing around with different cycles today for sam'n'max.

don't ask me why - but i found out that if i put 'auto' or 'max' into the cycles field i get that freeze in the sound settings
when swithing to general midi and trying to play the test sample. this happens also in pure dosbox without dbgl.

but if i write for example '10.000' or '20.000' into the cycles field everything works fine and i can play the test sample and of course
the game using a soundfont (via bassmidi).

rc are soundfonts working in your machine with cycles 'auto' ?

i don't know the influence of the cycles to the soundfont, but for my machine i can not use max or auto.

so for these games i have to find to find out now the best cycles manually. is there any page known where
for dos games i can find the best cycle values?

so once again thank you all for your help!

I did tell you to check the cycle number.
