I turned up FM synthesis from high to maximum - still no sound.
I turned up Volume.  I left the other settings alone.

Do I need to load some sort of sound libraries to use awe32?  Why am I 
told 'No playback device found' when I select the option -f for FM 
synthesis instead of the default awe32?

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/playmidi-2.5-bl3.tgz  is my attempt at a 
package (based on what pieces went where in a precompiled version  of 2.4 
which did not work for me at all, and including libnurses and also any 
other useful-looking info about midi, and three sample midi files, and 
html and man format documentation, and I think also aumix).

Does this work for you?

I was just given a fourth AWE32 card (1994) so I would really like to  get 
this working.  It does not seem to matter if I insmod awe_wave.o and I 
cannot insmod the ym module - resource busy.  Is that needed for midi?
