Yes -- and as I just wrote in another post, there is a slight difference from my regular sounds, although not nearly as much as I had expected.

I know almost nothing about sound cards. But when soundfonts were discussed here a few months ago, I looked around the Net for something that might be better than the built-in sounds on my card. I think I remember that I found that soundfonts were designed for Soundblaster and compatibles, and that my Montego card seemed to have no way of loading them.
Now, it's entirely possible that I was wrong, or that I'm remembering wrong, or that when Coda says soundfont they mean something else entirely. But when someone else mentioned that they couldn't hear a difference with their Montego card, it rang a bell.
Aaron.
