Okay...so I plugged in GM.DRV for my sound, and how I had laid it out on Anvil Studio 2012...well, it wasn't how it sounded at all. The flute sounds became piano, and the nice church organ that I had came out extremely different. So I toyed around, thinking that it must have been some sort of weird bug.

...and then I plugged in MTBLAST.DRV as my sound. And it sounded exactly how I had intended it to on Anvil Studio. Assuming that I'm not crazy, I'm thinking that MTBLAST.DRV is the way for me to go with the rest of my project.

You should only use one of the MT-32 drivers if if the music is done for the MT-32 AND you are listening to it with a real Roland MT-32 module or at least Munt. The instruments are mapped differently as well as uses custom sounds that have to be programmed in. Use the ADL.DRV driver or, if you have any digital sound embedded in any of your SOUND resources, the SNDBLAST.DRV.

That's the crazy thing. Neither ADL.DRV nor SNDBLAST.DRV give me any sound. So I'm hearing that I should just use GM.DRV, then?

Before you get too frustrated, try setting the tracks in soundbox to use the gm.drv. Now in your game config file set the sound to use the mpumidi.drv. Of course make sure you have the driver in the game folder.

That is probably what he did. He probably didn't set the device in Soundbox to AdLib, which is what he needs to do if he wants to use SB.

While testing sounds & feeling your way around creating new sounds for the first time, I'd recommend turning *all* the channels on in Soundbox for every sound your are making.  That way it's one less variable to troubleshoot when switching between drivers - you won't need to remember which sounds have which channels enabled, and you won't need to pair up your sounds with the correct driver to get output.

When I first started fiddling with sound, no sound output was a very common result for me.

I apologize for my website being down. I don't know what happened. I believe I was hacked. I can never get a hold of my website provider, which is a person, not a company, and she's NEVER available. I don't have the money to switch to anyone else right now, though. And I'd need to get all the updated files from my site anyway to transfer it. This has been going on for over a month I believe and I still haven't gotten a response. I'll let you all know what happens.
