Well, first of all you don't have to have a MIDI I/O selected unless you have MIDI devices connected to the computer.
you should be able to select a MIDI output device of SB Soundfont since you have an SB card, however, and if it's not showing up in the outputs, then my first question would be did you install the software that came with the SB card? without it, you probably can't access the soundfonts.
either way, as I stated before you don't HAVE to have any inputs or outpus selected. in order to have MIDI triggering something you can hear, you just need to learn how to use DXi Synths. Do Tutorial #8 and that will get you into using the EDIROL VSC and those sounds are better than the SB soundfonts anyway.
you'll not be able to get any sound out of the MS Mapper. it's not a valid entry.
