You will need to make sure that you have the latest version of Microsoft’s DirectX runtime files to ensure that our DirectX drivers function properly. Also, make sure that you are running DirectX version 5.0 or higher. Most newer games will require at least DirectX 6.0 or higher. Note that game sounds that are MIDI based (such as music) will not be heard through our card since it doesn’t have its own FM or wavetable synthesis. For MIDI based sound events, you will need to use a SoundBlaster or compatible, or an internal MIDI interface with an outboard MIDI sound module or keyboard.
