Alright guys, I have the weirdest sound problem to date, hehe
 
When I first start up Windows 2000, I get a sort of pop sound from the speakers (right after my opening music has played). But, this I could really care less about, hehe.
 
The really weird thing is that I get all sorts of static and crackling when I try to play MIDI files.
 
Now, this isn't the typical SBLive problem -- it plays MP3s, WAVs, CD-Audio all perfectly without any static. It's just MIDIs that it doesn't like <laugh>.
 
I've tried upgrading to the 3300a drivers I saw a link to, but that didn't solve anything (plus it made a bit of a mess out of my gaming port, so I just switched back).
 
Oh, and I have a Win98SE dual boot on this computer, and there's no problems whatsoever in Windows 98.
 
If anyone has any suggestions, I thank you very much for your time =)
