Stonekeep
Audigy SE on XP SP2+++.
IRQ 16. Made change to irq in both dosbox CONFIG and stonekeep config. Game plays fine, but after intro video, before gameplay starts, I get message "HMI midi driver initialization failure
midi board is a008
digital board is e000 "
then I hit enter or esc and game starts. In gameplay I get voices, but no sound effects.

Stonekeep's "CONFIG" file now says:

CD=M:\ reverse=0 full=1 sound=E000 music=A008 soundio=220 musicio=240 dma=1 irq=16 video=svga input=keyboard vidspeed=fast #capt […]

CD=M:\
reverse=0
full=1
sound=E000
music=A008
soundio=220
musicio=240
dma=1
irq=16
video=svga
input=keyboard
vidspeed=fast
#caption_on_
sfx_vol=9
music_vol=9
brightness=0
mouse_sen=3
MOUSE_OPTION=B
#MUSIC_DISABLED
#SFX_DISABLED

actually the line musicio said 620 or something like that and as it was failing, I tried 240, but with no better results.

thoughts?

Undo the changes in the dosbox.conf, that is stick with the irq=7 and dma=1.
Then configure stonekeep with sb16 (or soundblaster) at the same settings
(addr=220, irq=7, dma=1) and for music choose general midi (addr=330)
or adlib or sb with the same settings as above.
