So it's not exactly YM audio coming out of Picogus. I get the same with OPLMIDI.PRG in AUTO.

OPLMIDI.PRG directs MIDI to the OPL on the PicoGUS and this converts MIDI to OPL and does not need a wavetable module. I have a wavetable MIDI module which means I don't need the OPLMIDI.PRG and MIDI just plays through the PicoGUS using the wavetable module.

MPU401.PRG is enabling YM audio to my PicoGUS which plays it when in SB mode.

I have the internal YM2149 line-out header connected to internal line-in header on my SB clone.
Then the internal line-out of that SB -> internal line-in on the GUS.
Speakers are then connected to the GUS line-out jack.

This all depends on having internal line headers and I think the PicoGUS sadly lacks them?

Yes, okay, it's the same for me too, but, for example, you can't hear the click of the keys.

But I don't see the line up on Picogus...

Ah, I hadn't checked that. I would say that your original photo with dual audio fed to your speaker is the most elegant solution when using a PicoGUS for audio.

Exactly, PicoGUS sadly does not have internal line in or out headers.
I think your cable solution is probably the most elegant one when using Picogus only.

Old soundcards usually have at least one internal line-in header, sometimes two. And sometimes line-out on an internal header.
My GUS (not picoGUS) has two internal line-in headers with independent software controlled volumes so I'm treating it as my "master" card which sound from other sources goes through. And then the speakers connected to this card only.

Ok, now we're here. Anyway you're doing a great job!

I must say that the external solution has no particular problems.

Feeling like I needed to join the ISA Cirrus video card fun and just purchased this one from the US
