Is the status bar movin along, like as if the file is playin?!

If it is, it could just be da volume is off on you pc! Go into your Volume control panel (double click da speaker in da task bar) and check if MIDI is up!

There isn't a midi control on my volume thing. I have tried to figure out how to turn it up but I cna't figure it olut yet.

Rite,when you go into your volume control go to "options > properties" den go to the section labeled "Show the following volume controls" den tick MIDI, den go back to the volume control and it should be dere!

Let me know if this helps!

The control might not be labeled MIDI it could be sometin like SW Synth, if MIDI isnt dere post up wat u do have had ill tell ya wich one!

You are saying everything else plays fine right? MP3s. WAV, etc? If this is true then the post above has your most probably solution. You will also want to check your audio properties (Control Panel --> Sounds and Multimedia --> Second Tab --> Then look for Midi control and see if it is using a device. A second option on how to get to this is to go down to your task bar by the clock and find the little speaker looking thing, if it is there, right click on it -- the option that designates "Audio Properties")
Hope any of this can be a help, if you get lost anywhere, feel free to email me [email protected]

Also when your in this option make sure it is not bein sent to your sound cards MIDI port! This is for keyboards and oder midi hardware!

Btw wat Operating System are you using?!

I'm using windows XP. As far as the midi playbackj goes it's says that the default devicce is something called MPU-410. I have no clue what that means or how i could change it I will try to play somethign again cause the SW synth souind is turned on and is up. Don't know what else I can do.

i have mine set as "Microsoft GS wavetable sw synth"


edit: i changed it to MPU-410 and no sound came out. so go with the above settings

I'll try that and see if it works and post it in here whether or not it does.

That so worked how is then worldd did you knwo that???? I changed mine and it worked again.

The MPU-410 option is da sound cards MIDI out, so if nothins connected to it nothin will happen! i have a MIDI keyboard connected to mine so the MIDI plays tru da MPU-410 on mine!

I was askin about da OS coz on XP its "Microsoft GS Wavetable Sw Synth"

Anyway all sorted now! Have fun! lol
