Hi all,
Maybe someone can help. I just received a Dreamblaster X2GS and was planning on using it with my Crystal 4239-KQ sound card which has a wavetable header.
Very odd results. The Dreamblaster absolutely works. I connected it direct to my receiver while connected to the card via the 3.5mm headphone jack to confirm it is indeed working, but I could not get any MIDI out of the speaker out port. This card has three ports. Speaker out, line in and mic in.
Well, just testing around as to why I was getting no MIDI music out of the speaker out (everything is set right in software for MPU-401...330...etc) and then I moved the audio cable to the LINE IN on the card and MIDI music is coming out of it! WTF?
So, normal SB16 sound effects are coming out of the speaker out, but MIDI music via the Dreamblaster coming out of the line in.
There must be something that needs to be changed in the Crystal audio ini file but I have no idea what. Anyone here using it with a Crystal 423x card that can maybe give me some advice to mix the MIDI music and sound effects out of the speaker out on this sound card?
Maybe that is the way it is supposed to work? Am I thinking incorrectly that MIDI music and sound effects would automatically be mixed out of the speaker out when using the MIDI wavetable header?
