I believe that you may be hearing the FM synthesizer
and not the wavetable on the AWE card. I believe that
the OSS/Free drivers do NOT support the wavetable on
the AWE cards so you have to use FM synthesis to play
MIDI. I know that if you purchase the OSS driver for
the AWE cards with the EMU8000 (wavetable) extension
from the makers of the OSS drivers (4front-tech) that
the wavetable will be fully supported and you won't
need isapnptools for your sound card at all. Nor will
you need sound support compiled into your kernel.
