MORE INFORMATION
To configure the IBM MWave sound card to work with ActiMates products or SideWinder Force Feedback Pro joystick, you must enable the external MIDI port (MPU-401) on the sound card. This is accomplished by running the MS- DOS based program provided with the sound card. To do so, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to MWave, and then click Hardware Configuration.
 * 2) Choose a different Input/Output value. The program automatically sets the Input/Output value to 330 or 330H.
