I have an AWE32 (CT3900) with a NEC XR385 MIDI daughterboard (DB60XG Rev. B). General MIDI used to work, but now I get no audio at all. Maybe I have the wrong port address? How do I figure out what port address the general MIDI has? This should be separate from the AWE32's port I/O, right?

it's controlled by the JP16 jumper on that card, closed=330h while open=300h.

Are the volume levels for internal MIDI okay ?
Could be that there's a mixer problem, maybe.

The Diagnose utility should also be able to test and confirm the IRQ's and addresses being used
