ESS Maestro 2E - FM Sound not working #165

Description

@GenkimanLX

Tests with Compaq Armada E500 using pure DOS and Jemmex.
There are DOS and Win9x VXD and WDM drivers. The VXD drivers support DOS.
SBEMU recognizes ESS Maestro 2E as Alegro but when using softmpu it returns a message that there is no sound card installed. Monkey Island as no sound, Doom as no sound and Duke3d setup reports there is a DMA conflict when trying to test SOUND.
MPU401 works.
Tried SBEMU because the DOS drivers for the ESS Maestro 2E don't have MPU401 support.
With SBEMU i have MPU401 redirected to the COM1 port for serial connection with Roland SC55 wich works with Duke3d bur for MT32 in monkey island i need to install softmpu to redirect the signal do SBEMU MPU401.

So after testing i have:
ESS Maestro 2E - FM audio in Monkey Island, Doom and Duke3D / no MIDI in Monkey Island / No midi in DOOM and in Duke3D
ESS Maestro 2E + SOFTMPU - FM audio in Monkey Island, Doom and Duke3D / MIDI in Monkey Island / No MIDI in DOOM and in Duke3D
SBEMU - No FM audio in Monkey Island, Doom and Duke3D / No MIDI in Monkey Island / MIDI in DOOM and in Duke3D
SBEMU + SOFTMPU - No FM audio in Monkey Island, Doom and Duke3D / MIDI in Monkey Island / MIDI in DOOM and in Duke3D

If ayone can help i would be very thankfull
