Tertz, do you know of a translated GUI for YMF7x4Utilities ? I was able to use the program to enable FM MIDI output on my YMF-744 under Windows 98SE, so now I can play MIDI with FM or the XG Synth. I am curious what else I can do with this program.

I have no FM MIDI devices in Windows98 so the Falcon MIDI player didn't play through the OPL chip. I rebooted into MS-DOS and instead use Yamaha's FMMIDI.exe. I prefer Nuked now as I can easily hear how dry the YMF-744 is.

How do I play the midi with the OPL chip on my YMF-744? When I play it the XG synthesis is used.

Are you using WDM or VxD drivers? Try VxD drivers.

Off topic, but I found out yesterday my PCI Yamaha YMF-744 outputs music through SPDIF in the setupds.exe program when selecting the 16-bit audio test. But there is no output in the 8-bit audio test.

There is a thread somewhere on VOGONS about an ISA CMI-8338 based sound card that has SPDIF capability in MS-DOS.

Does the BIOS allowing you to reserve IRQ 5? Mine doesn't maybe that's why DSDMA causes my computer to reboot.

The picture of the box says SPDIF but I don't see it on the card. Or do you need the diamond MX25 daughter board?

Seems like the YMF7x4 cards all have bad quality, check these links out comparing RightMark Audio Analyzer tests: PK-UG-X013 Waveforce192 compared to cards from the same period SoundBlaster PCI128 Santa Cruz montegoⅡ HomeStudio

Tertz, have you figured out how to get digital TOSLINK output working on YMF7x4 in real MS-DOS? I can only get the optical digital to work in Windows 98SE.

Tertz, is it better for me to set Dosbox-Daum OPL and mixer to 48000 since my YMF-744 has a different clock than the YMF-724? Or do I leave the OPL rate at 49716?
