soundcard MIDI waveset

[robot313]

Hi, I've got a machine with Windows 98 on it, and a SoundBlaster Ensoniq soundcard, but the driver says it can't load the MIDI waveset. I've tried reinstalling them. And, these are the newest drivers I could get for this card for Win98 from Creative. Anything else I can do or is this something wrong with the card itself?

I think its more of a problem with win98. The Ensonig sound card could be bad also, but, I remember seeing something about that card not being compatible with win98. Something to do with the codecs the card uses.

Hmm, that's interesting, because it's worked before, but I think ever since I formatted it last, and reinstalled windows, it's been throwing that error :-\

robot313,

I've got the same problem, just found this thread via google.

Did you solve the problem ?

If robot didn't find an answer, this may be a driver that works:

And this covers fixing the waveset issue directly by installing a new waveset (apparently the stock driver lacks it?): http://www.free-music-now.com/free_...ad_msg40399/midi_file_download_msg40399.shtml
