29. MIDI/DLS: Why does loading some DLS files cause my system to crash? - Top

There are some great shareware programs available to convert sound banks from one format to another. An early version of one of these programs (Audio Compositor) wrote the DLS files incorrectly, and it was the extraneous data in the file that caused Aureal's wavetable driver to crash. That program has corrected the problem on their end. You should contact the creator of the DLS file and ask them to convert the file again with a current program that writes DLS files correctly. - Updated: November 29, 1999
