I'm having an odd issue with midi on the Orpheus 2LT. OPL3 works fine, no issues (windows and dos). But when I try to use the X2GS, I get constant noise/hissing/static in the background. If I turn the music volume down low, all I hear is that noise. Also, when I exit a game, I get a fairly loud 5 second lingering trail of noise. Again, with OPL3, I don't get any of this.

The main game I've been testing this with is Doom (both DOS/Win versions). The system is a Pentium II 400Mhz / Abit BH6 running WIndows 98SE.

Well I'm dork, I should of checked that first. I just got stuck on it being some type of software/irq issue.

I swapped out the original X2 (X2SE) with one from my vortex 2 system (X2GS) I'm still building and it works great, I'm not getting any of that annoying background noise. Then I tried that (suspicions) X2 with the vortex 2 card and started having the same issues. So there's definitely something wrong with it.
