What Soundblaster card is it? I've got a PCI128 I think (Can't
remember, it's working OK AFAIK, I only use it for games mostly, but the
Midi I/O works fine). BTW. I agree that Creative are absolute rubbish,
their support is amongst the worst I have ever come across, and to cap
it all they want to charge some users of their products for driver
updates!!
Anyway, my point is I have a 2nd PC hooked up to this machine, so I can
use midi-ox on the 2nd machine to monitor what the midi-out from the SB
is doing at boot time.
I'll get back to you in a second when I have rebooted this machine and
checked.
