You don't seem to have noticed that I answered this yesterday with a link to 
the relevant bit of my book where I have already explained all of this at 
great length.

Your soundcard, like the vast majority of other cheap consumer soundcards, has 
no facility to play MIDI in its hardware.  (It doesn't play MIDI in hardware 
under Windows either, but Windows hides this fact from you.  Think winmodem 
or winprinter.  You have winmidi.)  Now that you know for sure which category 
you fit into, you should be able to follow the remaining instructions in the 
book to achieve success.

I'll be happy to answer further questions, but only after you have read the 
answers I have already put out there.
