I have done so. The only difference between your setup and mine is
the choice of sound card.

Thanks, I tried downloading it. However, sfxload still gave me an
error message that I do not have an AWE device.
And then, finally, after trying an evaluation version of the
commercial oss, I found the source of all my troubles: though the
Ensoniq chip has MIDI support, my specific Card,the AudioPCI, does
not support MIDI playback (wave tables) in the hardware. (I would
never have guessed that from the manual that to has the usual Windows
non-distinction between hardware and software.)
So I followed the advice that Oscar wrote on June 18, 2001, :

Thanks! AT LAST IT WORKED!
I really appreciate all your help and patience with trying to get the
card to work correctly.
