    I just turn down the volume all the way using the Windows mixer. If you remove MIDI altogether, you will probably get error messages saying "Couldn't find MMdevice blah blah blah"

    As Mac said, you may get protests from some things if MIDI is disabled. But if it is necessary, on a modern PCI sound card you will probably need to find the Legacy Device driver for the card in Device Manager and in its Properties, check "Disable in this hardware profile". ISA cards commonly had a jumper to enable/disable the MPU401 emulation.

    You likely can't disable only the MIDI port in the Legacy driver, but if the problem is needing port 330, you could change the MIDI port address to 340 or 350 and expect MIDI to still work happily.

    If its onboard sound you can generally turn off the port in bios.
