The MagicMedia 256AV also comes in a variant (usually found on Dell and HP laptops) that works in Windows Sound System emulation mode, not in AC'97 mode. That variant of the chip must be used with the wss(4) driver. The neo driver will not attach to such chips.
No MIDI or FM synthesizer capability is provided with the MagicMedia 256 in AC'97 mode. While those capabilities are provided by the Windows driver for the chip, they are emulated by the Windows driver, and not directly supported by the hardware.
