SUMMARY
There is a shareware MIDI-out driver for the Turtle Beach MultiSound adapter available on CompuServe. The developer of this driver is also working on a MIDI-in driver and may also develop an audio driver. This multimedia device is not currently on the Windows NT hardware compatibility list (HCL). The MIDI-out driver is available in compressed format as MIDOUT.ZIP and can be obtained from the Win NT Shareware section of the WUGNET forum on CompuServe. Please note that this driver is not supported by Microsoft or Turtle Beach.

Steps to install Midi-out driver for the Turtle Beach MultiSound board
 Use a utility to extract the MIDI-Out driver from MIDOUT.ZIP. Copy MULTISND.SYS to the SYSTEM32\DRIVERS sub-directory. Modify MULTISND.INI to match your shared buffer and I/O addresses. (The IRQ number is not used unless you are configuring for MIDI-in.) To create the necessary Registry entries, type the following command:

regini multisnd.ini

 Shutdown and restart your computer (or start the new service manually from the Services portion of Control Panel).
