What type of GUS? I assume you installed the drivers? Do you use non-default settings for address/irq/dma etc? Is there any memory installed?

Games using MIDI most likely need the original GUS patches from the driver floppies (.PAT files are wavetable samples) so they can be loaded and played. At least on a GUS classic.
