I dumped OS/2 and went straight to DOS 6.22. I got the Vibra16 drivers for my CT-2940 SB card.
Goal 1) Make DOSMID output any sound while I play canyon.mid and a bunch of mid files I found in that installation of OS/2. The visualizer bars move around during playback but I hear no sound. Meanwhile, the sb16 diagnose utility works flawlessly. Is it just a matter of these midi files not being of the right format for opl3 playback?
2) patch King's Quest 1 (and then others) with the utility I found here http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/SoundUtilities.html that, if I understand it right, would allow the 3-voice Tandy music to be output to my Sb16 card. The patch goes well with no error message, but then I go from pre-patch 1 voice pc speaker music to absolutely no sound post-patch. I checked the game's interpreter and it did say 2.913, satisfying the requirement.
Am I missing something specific about midi configuration perhaps?
