So I found this thing at work... and it's absolutely horrendous.

Setting it to full master volume makes it clip like crazy. It gets tons of noise on the right audio channel, and the midi synth... good LORD the midi synth...

I took a recording of onestop.mid as a benchmark of sorts...

Is this how it's supposed to sound? The card was even weirder at first, as it would drop certain MIDI channels at random, but this seemed to go away with a restart.
