Same thing with my GUS Classic with 1MB. Inclined to blame FT2 here, perhaps it has issues with the extra memory.

Same thing with MS-DOS 6.22 and Fast Tracker 2.08 (the autodetection in 2.09 have been known to cause problems for some people). Many samples seems to play back at the wrong frequency, hence wrong playback speed. And yes, I'm inclined to blame FT2 as well.

I don't think the problem is with the extra memory, I think it's something to do with sample rate of instruments in the mods (and I do mean .mod, .s3m, .xm and all others) in regards to the sample rate set in FT2 and the GUS not actually converting everything to the same sample rate, as opposed to the SB doing so (afaik). Meaning, sometimes samples are triggered at a different sample rate than what the composer intended them to, and they run at a different speed and such. This is just a theory though, just based on what I hear. I'm actually a bit gutted about this, cause one of the main reason for getting a GUS for me, was for the tracking aspect of things. But hey, most tunes seem to run just fine.

The problem was indeed the software it self. I traced down some older versions and now it works! Seems that 2.09 have some issues, while 2.06 and 2.08 play files just fine. Odd thing that the most recent version bugs, but at least I found the problem now after been puzzled about this for a long time!

Thanks for the tip, 2.08 works fine for me too. Apparently 2.09 was a leaked/incomplete version.

Yep, that's correct. 2.09 was never an official release, it leaked and spread like fire in dry grass. It generally works well enough on systems with SB cards. Never got to try it with anything else back in those days, and I knew it wasn't official, so on my GUS system now, I went with 2.08 in the first place.
