Hi!
I'm trying to get my Aureal Vortex 2 to kindly send midi on to either my SC-88 or MU-80, but so far I'm getting nothing registering on the synth displays.
I'm running a PIII 1000 Mhz on an Asus CUSL2-C motherboard with 512 MB ram if that makes any kind of difference.
Initially it wouldn't even install the MPU-401 interface citing problems with the card not being in the primary PCI-slot. I did my diligence and found that apparently the Vortex 2 has issues with IRQ detection. Editing au30mmed.inf and disabling bus detection and then going to to BIOS and reserving IRQ 5 solved the issue and now the MPU-401 interface installed properly. However, I'm unable to get any kind of external midi sound. The internal wavetable works fine hower.
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can offer.
EDIT: I should also mention that I'm looking to get external MIDI working in Windows 98 specifically (Final Fantasy VII with XG)
