MIDI boards based on Dream SAM9733 and SAM9407 (and possibly others) default to high enough master volume that they digitally clip, causing unwanted distortion. I made a little DOS util (in QB45) that sends a custom master volume command to the MIDI device and sets it to a sane level where there's no more distortion happening. Most games seem not to clip much but I have a handful of MIDI files that made these things sound absolutely awful and they're the reason I began looking into it hahaha. After the volume fix they're completely fine ~
You will likely have to boost the sound card input level to compensate for the loudness loss, but it'll be worth it ~

Default port is 330, to override it use Pxxx command line parameter where xxx is new address in hex.
Default volume is 4F, to override it use Vxx where xx is a hex value between 00 to 7F (7F being chip default).
I'll make some recordings soon.
