It's just that actual Soundblaster sound has to come through the usual connectors -- a SB card or similar connected to the right IRQ, DMA, and port -- and, as far as I know, the Live isn't connected to that... and MIDI generally also comes through a port, and I don't know if this has that either... something MIDI obviously can be accessed from DOS, but there are several different ways to access MIDI, so I don't know which it is.
On another note, as I think I've said before, I also have one Windows program (Win 3.1) that has Midi sound and music where that sound and music doesn't work in Vista: SimTower.
Anyway, yeah, I wasn't expecting sound other than PC Speaker audio. I was expecting no SB audio to work. And mostly, that has been the case -- the SB audio in TIE Fighter, Flying Tigers, Raptor, Caesar II, etc, hasn't worked. Only Hexxagon has working sound effects, of the games I've tried so far... which definitely makes me wonder what it does differently.
