Does anyone know if the on-board gameport/MIDI ports that come with some motherboards (for instance the ASUS P4T533) will be usable as MIDI ports if the motherboard does not have on-board audio?
(ASUS motherboard configurations are not uniquely defined by their model number)
It is my feeling that future consumer sound card models will no longer feature MIDI ports due to the precedent set by the Audigy.
If you own a motherboard like this, look in the MIDI settings of the multimedia control panel in Windows. If there is a selection there to use the external MIDI port as the MIDI output device then the answer to my question is yes, otherwise it is no.
