: : I have an onboard sis PCI sound accelerator with a built in midi synthesizer, called sissynth.exe. I use win 98 and as far as I can tell everything is setup properly. However, when I try to play a midi file in media player or cakewalk I get an error message saying "midi sample file open failed--download from internet". But I have no clue what I'm looking for I've done several searches and came up empty. Can anyone help me figure this out? Or at least tell me what to look for so I can download the file from the net. Any help greatly appreaciated.


You need to go to the SIS website, download the sis7012_106 drivers files. The sisauduT is within that file. It's a 6MB zip file. when you run it, it asks you to point to the file. You need to point to the GM.DLS file, I'm not 100% sure of the name, but the extension is correct. Do a search to find what directory. I think it's C:\windows\system32\drivers. You can also find it using dxdiag.exe the direct X utility. Look under midi, the windows midi port will point to the correct dls file. Then you need to go to settings\control panel\multimedia properties\midi and select sissythesiser as the single instrument. This procedure is for win98, I have no idea about anyother versions.
