YAMAHA 724 Sound Card (PCI), environment is Windows 98, installing DOS drivers, using the 98-built-in DOS 7.1.
When playing DOS version of Sword and Fairy, if INSTALL selects "Sound Blaster card", both music and sound effects are present; if selecting "MIDI + Sound Blaster card", sound effects are present but no music.
Also tried Jin Yong Knight Errant, running SETSOUND to simulate music as SB series to play MIDI (but the effect is not good), selecting MPU401, can find the driver and it prompts success, but still the same as Sword and Fairy with no music.
Also tried DOS version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, because this game and Jin Yong Knight Errant have the same engine (both produced by Softstar), also running SETSOUND to set sound, so the symptoms are all the same, selecting MPU401 prompts success but no music.
It is estimated that other DOS games using MIDI for sound will definitely have no music.
Also tried DOS game The Legend of Chu Liuxiang: The Floating Fragrance of the Blood Sea, running SETUP to set sound, can set to use MIDI or FM as background music, setting FM has music normally, setting MIDI has no music, very depressed...
All checked, BIOS, interrupt values are all correct, drivers are also the latest 3.16 version DOS drivers from YAMAHA official website.
I also have a Sound Blaster 128 sound card.
This sound card can make MIDI sound when playing DOS version of Sword and Fairy, but after all, this sound card does not have the effect of YAMAHA 724 playing MIDI, which is why I want to get MIDI out of YAMAHA 724 under DOS, but it has always backfired...
But I have studied the Sound Blaster 128 sound card for a long time and still can't get sound effects out...
Alas! The two sound cards still can't have both...
The problem of the Sound Blaster 128 sound card is secondary, the main problem is that the YAMAHA 724 has no sound for MIDI in DOS games, I really don't know how to solve it...
Which friend often plays DOS games with YAMAHA 724 sound card? Have you also encountered the same problem as me? Please ask the capable person to help, will always remember!
