MIDIMAP.CFG Is Replaced During Windows Sound System Setup (89874)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Sound System 1.0
  • Microsoft Windows Sound System 1.0a
  • Microsoft Windows Sound System 2.0
This article was previously published under Q89874

SUMMARY

During Windows Sound System installation, if the file MIDIMAP.CFG is located in the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory, it is replaced with the Windows Sound System MIDIMAP.CFG file. Windows Sound System Setup saves a copy of the previous MIDIMAP.CFG under the filename MIDIMAP.WSS.

MORE INFORMATION

You can replace the Windows Sound System MIDIMAP.CFG file with the original by renaming the files to their original names. To do this, use the following MS-DOS commands, and press ENTER after each line: 
   rename midimap.cfg midimap.old
   rename midimap.wss midimap.cfg
Because the Windows Sound System does not support multiple sound cards running under a single installation of Windows, we do not recommend or support the merging of two .CFG files.
