Works fine for me in Windows 8.1 (virtual machine). Can you share your crispy-doom.cfg? Add it to a zip file and attach it to your comment. Also, please share the exact command line you use to launch the game and the wads you're using.

Also, a good first troubleshooting step is seeing if you can play a midi correctly with vanBasco MIDI player:

I should also comment that vms does work on chocolate doom. crispy doom config.zip extract the file, the cfg file is on it

Try one of these builds: 64-bit or 32-bit

Also, please share the exact command line you use to launch the game and the wads you're using.

Where did you download Chocolate Doom and Crispy Doom? If they are from here, then the midi implementation is identical: http://latest.chocolate-doom.org/

Yea, i remember downloading them there

Yea, i remember downloading them there

Again, the midi code is identical between Chocolate Doom and Crispy Doom so something else is going on here. There are two things you can try, otherwise this is something on your end:

1. You can try setting winmm_complevel 0 in crispy-doom.cfg.
2. Make sure there isn't anything overriding the music in C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\crispy-doom.
