Why won't MIDI work?

[Higher Game]

My MIDI sounds very distorted when I play. I use a SoundMAX integrated audio solution. Is there anything I have to download to make the sound work? I play in ZDoom. Please help me.

Maybe you should change the midi output system you use. Its in the sound options. Go to the midi device select and chosse one that works for you. Play a level while doing so to here the differences between the devices. And maybe it is just the sound system that was installed on your computer.

I did that and none of them sound the way Doom is supposed to sound. I think I might have to install something new.

I am not sure that I know what you mean. I am not sure as to what the problem is, maybe it is something in your computer. WHhat version of zdoom were you using?

[Higher Game]

I'm using the latest version of Zdoom. I went to the sound option in-game and tried all of the MIDI options, and none of them sounded right.

If it sounds distorted, your MIDI speaker may be fucked. I'm an engineer, it happens with the biggest goddamn speakers right down to the shittiest dollar store head phones.

I cant seem to set the hz. (keeps resetting!) this is with gzdoom btw.

Do you have a crappy computer like a Compaq Presario?

[Higher Game]

It's a $300 computer I got from some Korean guys. It's absolutely ancient. Why do you think I play Doom instead of Counterstrike?

(well, Doom is obviously > CS, but that's not my point) ;)

Proper OPL emulation cant be done in any engine. You can try the frequency gargoylol posted, but my experience with ZDooms OPL emulation is...pretty bad.
