I have a question, very recently i have been making videos in which Windows 3.1 plays certain MIDI files, How do i get windows 3.1 to use the Chip on the sound blaster instead of the Ad Lib Card?

Well apparently it seems that the Adlib thing is built in to the sound blaster it is just because some people on some IRC about Touhou told me the sound on the video was not that of the OPL3 chip and was the OPL2 chip of the original AdLib cards. So now i am confused, Does the OPL2 and OPL3 sound the same? Oh and before you tell me something i have a REAL Sound Blaster Pro 2 with the YMF-262 chip on it!

Dosbox emulates OPL, it's not using your card directly or am I missing something here?
