I have a ESS 1869F ISA card that used to work well in DOS, until I installed drivers for it in Windows 95. Since then MIDI music in DOS has disappeared, even though programs like DOSMID and games reports no problems in playing MIDI files.
Judging by this topic from 2017 I'm not the only one encountering this issue. But unfortunately there wasn't a good, consistent solution for it back then.
Does anyone know of a fix, workaround or something that will get MIDI playback back? I wouldn't mind losing sound in Windows.
