QWS handles this for you if you set up the track properties as you want them. Make sure that on playback you have your port set correctly. When playing a standard MIDI file in anything other than QWS it's going to play to your default MIDI playback device. Note also that playback devices aren't required to use the same sound maps unless they're GM, GM2, GS, or XG compliant. Only these sound mapping schemes have consistency across MIDI devices, and anything that isn't one of these can put any sound in any program number. This may be part of your problem depending on what you're using for playback.
