With some games you may have to exit to DOS for the sound to work -
since the RAP10 is being used by Windows, an MSDOS prompt within windows
may not be able to talk to it. I think I *have* got G-MIDI to work
either way.
The only game I've found which supports the RAP10 for digitised sound is
Wing Commander III - and then only in 8 bit mono. Wierd for a 16 bit
stereo card. Anything which runs in Windows itself (e.g. Peter Gabriel's
Xplorer-1 or Myst) *will* support digital audio since they use the
windows digital audio interface.
