hey guys,
i dunno why but my midi sound doesnt seem to be working, im trying to look for a driver but with no avail. Any help guys.
*edit* um well i was fiddleing about , as you do and umm i broke it. i now have no sounds what so ever :-[ its not fair. i really dont know what i did, i was playing about with sounds on the systems tab and i broke summit. i updated a driver nd now i have no sounds. Does anybody know where you can find the letest windows drivers for sound devices? im using a sound blaster pro for my midi sound and a sb audio pci device.
thanx

have you checked your sound settings? Midi's are on a whole different channel than wavs and what not, the channel may be muted, or the volume turned off... check that first.
yup, checked that first, any other ideas guys.
thanx newayz Alynn
is it just within AGS, have you got a midi file you can test in Windows?
Tried that to , i tested a midi in windows nd it didnt work either , so it must be windows. i think i need to update my midi drivers but how???
the idiot way:
try searching for a program called "win groove", it'll change the whole midi thing to better instruments. it'll need a crack, too. this got my thing working, but i'm stuffed if i know how to get it back to what the original thing was. it still sounds kinda nifty, tho.
the slow, but less bridge-burning way:
wait for someone else's help

Yeah, I had the same problem happen on my computer 'bout a week ago, now. I rebooted it like 4 times to see if it would just fix itself, and it didn't, so I just gave up on it and left the computer. About two hours later I decided to have another crack at it, but found that the it had somehow fixed itself. No one else touched the computer in between times, so I'm blown if I know what went on. I just hope your comp. does the same thing.
All the best.
im guna try wingroove. iqu, thanx. i'll post if it works
i tried win groove, it said cant find external midi device or summit like that. that must mean its my pc setup, hmm. im still working on it.

edit, see top post
I had this problem about a year ago. I couldn't get certain sounds to play, some played with static, some played fine.
What was the solution?
A perfect question.
I went to the local computer store (I believe it was CompUSA) and bought a 15 dollar cheap-o sound card. It's worked a charm ever since.
When all else fails ... spend money :) It sounds to me like the sound card(s) are defective if you're having all this trouble. I must add a disclaimer: Darth Mandarb is the farthest thing from a hardware expert.
