Hi
I can't get any MIDI sounds in DOS from my MT-32 which is connected to a SBLive SB0220 via the gameport. I can get MIDI sounds when I boot into Win2K using this setup so I know the cable, MT-32 and card are good.
I've been using GODS with the installer set to output sound to Roland LAPC-I to test. When I set the output to Sound Blaster I get games sounds and music. At one point I was also getting MIDI sounds through the SB itself and not the MT-32 when setting the output to LAPC-I.
I've now installed SoftMPU and run it with the following parameters: Softmpu \SB:220 \IRQ:5 \MPU:330 - I get a message telling me it's running as it should but I still get no sound from the MT-32 (and no flashing message light which tells me there is no information reaching it).
