I only get this issue the first time it loads, if I load the game again I usually get correct sounds. Sometimes it takes a couple of trys, I can tell from the intro sounds of the lasers and asteroids, so this probably down to my setup as it would never work properly if it was incompatible.

I plugged it in directly, skipping the midi box and got weird results. First time it failed so I thought I would record it for you all to hear, then upon restarting it worked perfectly. So I happily played it that way for a few missions, saved & exited. Now again on start up it is giving me odd …

I have a real CM-32L and can confirm that it does not play right on the real hardware, thats because I found this thread whilst looking into what is causing my issue. 😀 Explosions, asteroids and weapons all sound odd.

Nobody used a 2 in 1 midi device, is there a simpler device to use? Would this do the job of merging PCs and then sending the data to the tone generators? https://www.amazon.co.uk/DigitalLife-USB-MIDI-Merge-Interface/dp/B08HYF7PV2/ref=asc_df_B08HYF7PV2/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid= …

I can confirm that NFS2:SE does not even see my CH Force FX Joystick as a force feedback device, so just works as a four axis input device. Shall I try it with a MS Sidewinder Force Feeback wheel/joystick?

Success, many thanks. It appears installing the offical drivers was the trick. It took me three days to get here though after a failed DVD drive and a soundcard swap failure, errrgghh. Now on to trying the force feedback with joystick task.
