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.

Chicky · Mon 29/12/2003 19:57:39

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?

Chicky · Mon 29/12/2003 21:35:09

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.

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.
