I use Playmidi 2.4 with AWE32 support for my MIDI player:

On a negative note, the volume seems to be too low when playing MIDIs and
*especially* when playing MODs using xmp
(Extended Module Player 1.1.7pre01)
With xmp using the OSS sequencer:

The volume is so low that even turning up the Master and Synth volumes to
maximum
doesn't help entirely.
Using sfxload --volume=100 helps (with MIDIs), but overall the volume
of my MIDIs falls short of what they used to be with 2.1.130 (with the
old awe_wave driver). Another noticeable problem is that in some MIDI
files some notes die quicker than they did with 2.1.130.
One thing that might not be entirely AWE32-synth related, but is
nonetheless
a question I have had, is why on my AWE64 the mixer volumes must be so
dang high to get good volume. My typical AWE64 mixer settings require that
just
about all mixer settings are at 75% or higher. My old ESS1868-based
card got by just fine with all mixer settings at about 33%. I recognize
that
these are different hardware chipsets,
and would gladly be affirmed by anybody
who is sure about why this is so.
I am assuming just different hardware design,
but not shutting out the possibility of a bug/problem with the sb.o
driver.
(My ESS card used the sb.o module as well)
