Heres the thing, Im currently using Vista Ultimate 32bit and i was having bad gameplay ie: bad fps every 10 secs and so i reformated to XP and had the same problems, So i reformatted back to Vista since it wasnt an OS problem (after that i took the fan cover of my laptop and found a little collection of lint, and I think that was the problem), anyways I finally found a graphics driver that gave me no problems but during the installation of FF7 I chose to have DirectX 5 installed(or whatever version the installer comes with) thinking that maybe that would help me with my previous fps woes, problem is I think it disabled some things in the volume control panel (It only shows 3 things: Speakers, Windows Sounds, and SoundMAX Control Center) where as before I had more options and when I googled my problem someone in a post stated it was because of directx5. And this is a problem because even though it has an option for it ff7music does not mute midi so what i used to do was mute it in the Volume Mixer. And I really cant go back to midi after hearing the psx tracks. So what I am asking for is someone to find it in their heart and provide me with a workaround like a registry tweak, application, or a way to uninstall directx 5 or make ff7music mute the midi. And before someone suggests it I went to device manager and clicked show hidden devices and uninstalled my Midi driver "wavetable something" and i still hear the mp3 of Ob during the first boss fight along with what im thinking was the minipsf of the same song but after i deleted them "102 bombing mission" i realized it was that the midi was still playing.
