My god what a differance. I don't think my sound is as bad as the final windows 7 clip. I'm hoping cowjosh's solution works. Going to try it the second I get home.
Edit: Seems like just using one of the AWE64 soundfonts has everything working. Hurray!

I got as far in this thread to where they were talking about hexediting files to get 7 to use a different soundfont. I messed a lot with MIDI in highschool (my god over 12 years ago)

Some posts I read in other forums from professional musicians I read when 7 was released regarding MIDI support made it sound like even a solution like cowjosh's wasn't possible. Its excellent Microsoft allows us to use a different software solution.

I just don't understand why Microsoft has regressed audio in Windows in such a way. Even Apple's Garageband is a MIDI sequencer as much as it is a recording audio tracker. I'm going to through my Soundblaster 16 in next and see what happens. Even though I know the music is going to be flat (the Audigy did indeed do chorus and reverb like someone else was talking about above about the AWE cards) I wouldn't be surprised if its better than Microsoft's wavetable.
