Hi!

I see there are many threads about how the MT-32 should be connected.
I have looked at everything from YouTube videos and read forums. I'll try a thread in here and hope someone takes the time if they know the problem.

HARDWARE:
COMPAQ CDS 524
SOUNDBLASTER AWE64 GOLD
MT-32

SOFTWARE:
WINDOWS 95
SOFTMPU

CONNECTION:
Connected from SoundBlaster gameport to MT-32 IN port.

From MT-32 ordinary audio cable to IN port on SB card.
From SB card to speaker.

The attachment Connection 1.jpg is no longer available

I have tried several Lucas Arts games with no luck.
I get SFX but no music. There isn't any sign of contact with my computer and the MT-32(shouldn't the mt-32 pop-up messages?.
I have tried the MT-32 at a friends computer, who runs DOSBox. Worked flawless. Nothing wrong with the device.

STARTUP IN DOS:

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

You've specified an MT32 as the music device (ATLANTIS R, for instance)?

All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder

I have actually solved this problem. I ordered a new cable Gameport to MT-32. This new cable is a bit thicker. Its all working 😀

The Ad Lib Gold and Audiotrix Pro use a similarly thin-looking and SB-incompatible joystick-to-MIDI adapter. Any chance your problematic cable is one of those?
