did you tried latest dosbox-staging or post an issue - even if its possible a game bug - the developer kcgen is always very interested in sound problems/latency/hickups stuff in games, he integrated the very latest munt 2.5 a few weeks ago into dosbox-staging
Good idea, later I'll try it with dosbox-staging.
interested in testing

A different MT-32 issue: under my default setup of vanilla DOSBox + external Munt, MT-32 sound in the 1990 4D version stops working very often (for instance, upon entering the evaluation screen). The MT15.DRV replacement trick is of no use in this case, as 1990 4D and 1990 Stunts use the same MT15.DRV, as llm had pointed out several messages ago.

- March 30, 2021, 10:52:18 PMUhm... It's been long since I tried to use that. I do remember that it could redirected. Maybe, if you're using Windows, you do get sound because you already have a MIDI mapper coming with your OS that's receiving the MIDI output from DOS. I'm not sure. I should go back to testing that.

- March 30, 2021, 09:48:32 AMI just refered to @Cas "Vanilla DOSBox can't turn MIDI data into sound" - what seems to be not 100% correct - because i heard sound (without a real midi-device, mt32 or Munt installed)

Vanilla DOSBox can't turn MIDI data into sound
You don't say
ON:
Always will sound different, because MT15.DRV (The driver of Roland MT-32) makes the game sounds/music play on Roland MT-32, even with MUNT emulation. Without MUNT, different also than with it. Without using MUNT, car sounds will be gone after a few seconds, and skidding will sound like hitting a key on a piano

but using the MT15.drv with vanilla dosbox sounds different than Adlib, Tandy or PC-Sound - so it seems that there is some sort of emulation going (im not using the offical releases of dosbox only self source builds of svn)

- March 30, 2021, 09:11:44 AMbtw: attached is a zip with all driver integrated game exes (game_(ad|pc|mt|td).exe) - based on the MCGA exe - seem to work without flaws - maybe someone wants to test them more in depth

- March 29, 2021, 10:32:49 PMVanilla DOSBox can't turn MIDI data into sound, but it can redirect MIDI output data from games to an actual MIDI input in your system. What you need to produce MIDI-based music is, as Duplode described for the configuration, set up a MIDI route, somewhere for DOSBox to put the data in, and then make sure you have something there. It can be a MIDI mapper program, such as TiMIDIty++. I'm not familiar with Munt, but I guess it must be something similar. But it can also be an actual MIDI interface. For example, if you have a General MIDI compatible keyboard, you could plug it in your computer and use that. In other words, for what concerns DOSBox, this isn't anything related to music. It's just data routing.

can someone explain what is needed to the MT32 emulation in dosbox running
For vanilla DOSBox, add this midi section in dosbox.conf:
Code Select
[midi]
mpu401=intelligent
midiconfig=128:0Then install Munt, configure it with the MT-32 roms (see e.g. Ryoma's earlier post) and have it running before starting DOSBox.

(i've got an source build of vanilla-dosbox and dosbox-staging ready)
i need to debug into the driver loading to understand the meaning of 4 bytes (search for "unknown 4 bytes" in the attached asm) could be that these byte are just unused

did you try dosbox-staging: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging, they integrated the libmt32emu directly and fixed some bugs/problems
