Hi, I apologise if I have been unable to find any already stated answers to this problem.
I am building a Win98 system on a PCI only motherboard (P4).
I have SB16 PCI (CT4740, Ensoniq clone). My plan was (is) to use a MIDI cable breakout from the Gameport to my Roland SC-55.
However, for a number of games, when I select GENERAL MIDI for music (incl. Doom) the card processes the MIDI rather than sending it out the game port.
I wonder if perhaps I am not using the right PORT# etc, or missing some software configuration to push general MIDI out the Gameport but I cannot seem to find anything to guide me.
I wonder if perhaps this card does not send MIDI out the gameport. If so, are there any Win98 compatible sound cards that work with General MIDI / Roland SC-55?
Many thanks for any advice or ideas.
I have an ISA AWE64 gold as back up, but that would require a complete re-think on the machine. I also have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB0570, but that doesn't have a gameport so obviously cannot extract MIDI...
