hah! i get an mmsystem error too, sometimes, though not with glDoom but with
doom4win. sound is working fine, except if you take too long to complete the
level (probably when  the time counter reads "time: sucks"), you get that
error at the tally screen, and midi goes. however simply restarting the
program brings it right back

your problem could be that awe64. hell, i remember bying three (!) of them
from 2 different stores, and none of them would work in my p233mmx VX w/64
ram. the installation would go fine, however then it prompted to reboot, and
you'd never boot back into win95 again. safe mode, safe shmode, creative
tech support... in short i got an ensoniq audiopci for win and a yamaha opl3
for dos, and no problems since. looks like that awe64 is one big headache
(although with superior midi, when it works)
you might try removing it from device manager, doing a search and destroy in
the registry, deleteing the corresponding  .inf etc etc and doing a _clean_
reinstall.
last but not least, you could email bruce lewis about it;  awe64 being
pretty high end, he should take this into consideration (read the gldoom
docs on how to file a bug report)

:2. No midi whatsoever.

Games don't age. It's people that are getting younger :)

There's a FAQ up at the glDoom site (http://www.frag.com/doom/) with
perhaps an explanation for your problem.

A contest was held for people to submit their theories on ANY
subject. Below are the winners.

4th RUNNER-UP
(Subject: Probability Theory):
If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number
of pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an
infinite number of highway signs, they will eventually produce all
the world's great literary works in Braille.

3rd RUNNER-UP
(Subject: Bio-Mechanics):
Why Yawning Is Contagious: You yawn to equalize the pressure on your
eardrums. This pressure change outside your eardrums unbalances other
people's ear pressures, so they then yawn to even it out.

2nd RUNNER-UP
(Subject: Sybolic Logic):
Communist China is technologically handicapped because they
have no alphabet and therefore cannot use acronyms to communicate
technical ideas at a faster rate.

1st RUNNER-UP
(Subject: Newtonian Mechanics):
The earth may spin faster on its axis due to deforestation.
Just as a figure skater's rate of spin increases when the arms are
brought in close to the body, the cutting of tall trees may cause our
planet to spin dangerously fast.

** HONORABLE MENTION
(Subject: Linguistics):
The quantity of consonants in the English language is
constant. If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a
Bostonian "pahks his cah," the lost R's migrate southwest, causing a
Texan to warsh" his car and invest in "erl" wells.

GRAND PRIZE WINNER
(Subject: Perpetual Motion):
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is
dropped, it always lands buttered side down. It was proposed
to strap giant slabs of hot buttered toast to the back of a hundred
tethered cats; the two opposing forces will cause the cats to hover,
spinning inches above the ground. Using the giant buttered toast-cat
array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
