I don't really understand how to set this up, but I installed the midi daughterboard correctly, specifically a dreamblaster x2gs, set the jumpers to mpu-401 as opposed to sb-midi, then I selected the ess mpu401 in the midi settings on windows 98, but nothing plays when I try midi files. What am I doing wrong? The x2gs plays music fine as a usb device, so it's not broken, so I'm guessing I set it up wrong.
Have you tried to unmute all inputs of your sound card or even tried connecting directly to the sound out of the X2GS?

I don't know how to access windows 98 driver settings when I can't find a driver program for the card. I have the mixer program and have made sure that the aux input is unmuted.

I cannot do this as cables can't fit in the connector due to the case and bracket being in the way.

Alright, I set it to SB-MIDI, and now I just hear really glitched weird sounds when playing midi, in the pattern of the music. Do I need to fix it in the driver program that you can send me for 98?
