Title. So those MIDI playback issues I mentioned in the Doom thread I was having? The ones where some sound channels wouldn't play? Well I found out this is a system-wide issue, and has affected multiple completely different machines. Some programs are able to handle this just fine, others are just as broken as playing a midi in windows media player.

I'm wondering if there's any way to fix this? I've done research and have come up with zilch. I know in the case of Z-family Doom ports there are other sound libraries, but they all come with their own problems. FluidSynth, for instance, plays all channels, yes, but it also makes the bass way louder and some other instrument types way quieter. For some reason?

I'd prefer to just have working General MIDI again, if that's possible.

Whoops I misclicked the wrong board. Mods could you please move this to hardware/software?
