@yawetaG @badmojo @BitWrangler @Bancho - give him a break guys. Most young people going into the hobby are not going to know what an external midi module is.
@Radical Vision - those are external midi synths. They greatly increase music quality in games with midi music. They contain realistic samples of instruments. Here's a video about these external synths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmFcs-_4x4
Here's duke 3d on opl3 (generic sound card) vs various external and internal synths like the SC55, MT32 and so on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFX63IGmbwY
They can really make games like Dune 2 or Monkey island sound much, much better. Here's what the Dune 2 soundtrack sounds like on a MT-32: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQADZeB-z8M&t=842s - my favorite example - and here is the same soundtrack played by a generic OPL3 sound card (adlib in this case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WKBjmJCBHw&t=740s
