The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows with Multimedia Extensions version 1.0

The Roland driver that ships with Windows with Multimedia Extensions is a MIDI driver, not a sound driver. Because this driver is a MIDI driver, it does not offer sound support, such as the playing of wave (.WAV) files.

The driver also does not show up under the initial setup of Windows under Sound Board options. This driver can only be manipulated by using Control Panel's Driver icon.
