I have a Windows 98 laptop with an ESS Audiodrive 1878 sound card which I use for playing my retro MS-DOS games. For the most part this works through Sound Blaster emulation, but I would prefer to use General Midi for the games that support it. General MIDI does work within the Windows environment, however, selecting General Midi in my custom-configured MS-DOS Mode states the message, "Could Not Detect MPU-401." I have downloaded and installed the proper DOS drivers for my soundcard (ES1868/ES1878) obtained from this very website, however I can't seem to figure out how to enable the MPU-401 playback. What would be the proper way of solving this little issue? I can provide my autoexec.bat and config.sys if needed.
