I know plenty about MIDI, more than most people anyway, and I'm glad I have some good soundfonts and a driver in Windows to have MIDIs at least sound decent instead of having the overly crappy sound produced by MS's Wavetable Synth.

Still, I don't usually bother to connect my stereo set to my PC for games that use MIDIs. I sometimes play these games using my headphones, but nothing more than that.

Also, here a sample of what soundfonts and alternative MIDI synths can do to your MIDIs:
Original MIDI file
MP3 Render using WinGroove

So, as you can see, I was calling MS's Software Synth low quality, not MIDIs themselves.
