So, I've encountered a bug running the original Gabriel Knight from within Windows 98.
Sound Blaster FM Synthesis and Sound Effects work perfectly fine in this game.
What doesn't work, however, is General Midi or Mt-32 based music. I launch the game, and am greeted with silence for all MIDI tracks. Sound effects and pre-recorded CD audio still work (such as the CD versions main menu.) This bug occurs both in the CD version and floppy disk version of the game (The main menu song is missing on the floppy version, being the only difference, due to it being MIDI on this version.) Upon exiting the game, I am suddenly greeted with a long, endless, hanging note until I either disconnect my MIDI interface or reboot the machine.
Has anyone else encountered this bug or know how to fix it? No other Sierra games appear to have this issue.
