Tom,

You have a MIDI adapter cable to the Soundblaster's game port, right?  
Try switching around the MIDI In/Out cable ends on the DTXpress 
module. Labeling can vary from one MIDI cable to another. In other 
words, "In" on a jack can mean either connect to "In" or connect 
from "In." See if switching the leads works.
