 ### Known Issues
 
-* Linux: MIDI does not play (vcpkg does not configure sdl2-mixer for it).
 * Engine: Leaning left/right falls back to low-res rendering.
 * Engine: Minimap has rendering glitches when fully-textured (i.e. sprites).
 * Engine: Pixel imprecision when rendering health/ammo numbers in the status bar, leaving ghost pixels.

-Here we do not use vcpkg but instead rely on the distro packages for ENet and SDL2. Unfortunately vcpkg SDL2 (and mixer) still depends on dev packages to be installed, and the MIDI subsystem is not correctly configured.

+## Music (MIDI)
+
+Depending on your operating system, your music experience and general MIDI play back will vary considerably. Independently, for a better Duke 3D music experience I recommend using [¥Weeds¥ General MIDI SoundFont v3.0](http://www.simpilot.net/~richnagel/#soundfonts).
+
+**Windows**
+
+Out of the box, MIDI music will play fine on Windows. By default, it will use [Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth](https://impossible-music.fandom.com/wiki/Microsoft_GS_Wavetable_Synth), which sounds surprisingly okay. However if you want to use another soundfont (such as the one above), install [OmniMIDI](https://officialblackmidi.fandom.com/wiki/OmniMIDI), load the soundfont and select the OmniMIDI mapper via `Tools -> ??? -> ???`.
+
+**Linux**
+
+Out of the box, you will not get any music unless you have a default soundfont installed (for example, the `fluid-soundfont-gm` package). Even then, it will likely sound pretty bad. To use another soundfont, you can use the following command.
+```bash
+> SDL_SOUNDFONTS=WeedsGM3.sf2 SDL_FORCE_SOUNDFONTS=1 ./ChocoDuke3D.64
+```
