Hi folks,

I recently aquired a Primax Soundstorm Wave (this version/one) and the card works wonderfully for the most part. After some fiddeling and downclocking my FSB back to 33 MHz I get working MOD playback, MIDI playpack in a midiplayer and e.g. DOOM and Digital Audio Playback.
Problem is, for some reason I can't get any MIDI music out of the card in The Settlers 2. The game supports the card and it gets detected in the setsound programm just fine. Am I missing something ? Do I need to load some TSR before playing ? I have found this question on the internet a couple of times, but no answer anywhere.

Here are my configs:

AUTOEXEC:BAT

@REM ===== GRAVIS INITIALIZATION (4.10) =====
@SET ULTRASND=240,1,1,11,3
@SET ULTRADIR=C:\ULTRASND

DEVICEHIGH /L:2,11360 =C:\DRIVERS\VIDECDD.SYS /D:MSCD001

system specs are:

AMD 5x86 @ 133 MHz
32 MB EDO in one stick
Matrox Mystic 220
QDI MP4-P4U885P3
some ISA controller card for floppy and COM
Yamaha Audician 32 plus
and ofc the GUS Clone

Any help would be appreciated,
