Well, this is really strange 🤔
I don't know if you've already tried it, but maybe a complete uninstall/reboot/reinstall could help...
After that (or if you've already tried it unsuccessfully, please check that the configuration file (VirtualMIDISynth.conf in VMS installation folder, it's a text file in INI format so you can open it with Notepad) is modified after each configuration change (and Apply button pressed).

Additional info: after uninstall/reboot check that no VirtualMIDISynth device is available on the system.
Maybe you have more than than one virtual device installed, and you're changing the configuration of "the wrong one".

Hi, thank you for responding! :)
I checked, no other virtual devices exist.
Now I found a totally strange thing: when I change the VMS settings while Dosbox is open with an older game playing some AWE32/64 supported music, then the settings actually have an effect. But in Windows nothing changes, all my music players which support midi files play them in the same way, the VMS settings and soundfont changes don't affect it at all. This is a mystery, where does the soundfont for these sounds come from? xD
I tried restarting and even checked the "VirtualMIDISynth.conf" file. It does get updated when I change the settings.
I may have to completely uninstall and reinstall it then.

I'm wondering if the sound really comes out of VMS... to quickly check it, open VMS MIDI Mixer (while you hear the sound) and check if it shows any activity through channel LEDs and/or master volume VUMeters.
