SmashManiac: So the GOG team added a recommendation at the beginning of the game to pick "Roland MT-32 MIDI board" as the sound mode.
But when I do that, everything sounds like piano notes. Everything is piano. Even when I fire my uzi or throw grenades, it sounds like a piano. Ridiculous. I've had a great audio experience in "AdLib sound board" mode though, which is the setting I would have recommended.
Anybody had a similar or different experience in "Roland MT-32 MIDI board" mode?
IIRC, that's one of the original in-game options and AFAIK, you'll need an actual Roland MT-32 MIDI device in order to fully use that option. Keep in mind that I am no expert on Roland MT-32.

Here is some information regarding Roland MT-32:

Also, if you look on the list of Roland MT-32 compatible games, you'll notice Covert Action is listed so, in essence, we really didn't add any sound options but left them as they are. I hope that helps :)
