I already tried this, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. 
Everything works exactly as when it is enabled, just without digital sound.

I just tried it. Wolfenstein 3-D now is able to detect the OPL3 chip, 
but I can't hear anything (probably because the mixer isn't set).
In Wacky Wheels, I also can't hear anything.

When I set up the OPL3 chip in Linux, I specified it should use port 
0x388 and not another port. I'm able to change this port to something 
else through the module settings. Would it be a good idea to change this 
value?

Thanks,
