What does this exactly do? Which port does it refer to etc? For me somehow this setting doesn't change anything...
When you play DOS games in a DOS box from within win95/98, this setting will determine what the card will use to pipe midi to the game, either the internal midi engine or something connected to the wavetable header/external module.

Well, I have a DB at 330 and tried both AU8830 options in that box, yet still the DB was playing. So obviously something about that setting doesn't work right. Only got the crappy Vortex wavetable to play in Windows...
I have a Windows 98 box with an MX300 which has an SCB7 daughterboard, and a Yamaha SP724 in the same system [which has on-board XG midi].
Testing with Heretic run from 98, if I select Monster Sound II Wavetable in the Dosbox setting of the Vortex control panel I get different music from selecting Monster Sound II MPU 401.
Where I get problems is when selecting DS-XG synthesizer in the Vortex panel for Dosbox out. That simply results in a hard lock at the Heretic loading screen. I'm supposing that is something to do with SB Pro emulation being on both these sound cards, even with one set of SB Pro emulation disabled.
The reason for having both cards is the MX300 gives me A3D and can take a daughterboard; the Yamaha has true FM Synthesis and also XG midi.
Normally I disable one or other SB Pro emulation, but either way I cannot play MIDI on the SP-724 with the SB Pro emulation on the MX300 [not that there's any reason to want to do so other than that it appears to be a menu option...].
