I'm using this cable:

When I type "mixer /listmidi" into DOSBox, these are the options:
0 "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth"
1 "USB Audio Device"
2 "USB Audio Device [2]"
The MIDI section of dosbox.conf looks like this:
mpu401=intelligent
mididevice=default
midiconfig=2
I'm using King's Quest 5 as a demo. It is configured by setup to use Roland MT-32 for Music and Sound Blaster for Audio.
The MIDI music sounds awful. Sound output is coming from the MT-32 - I can twist the unit's volume knob and hear the music's volume change, and the MIDI Message LED blinks repeatedly.
I'm only vaguely aware of what SysEx is, but I noticed that the LCD screen doesn't show any of Sierra's messages on bootup. Is it possible that the MT-32 isn't receiving SysEx? Do I need to do something special to make SysEx work? Is it possible that my USB cable does not support SysEx?
