Hello,

I wonder if anyone who uses Midinotate might have had an experience similar to the following. It is possible since midi playback is involved.

I installed Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs. That went fine, and everything worked until I tried out playing a midi file. The instrument sound was very good, but there were frequent clicks and pops.

Assuming that there might be driver updates, I used Creative's auto-update to download and install the drives listed as critical and essential.

Wav and MP3 files acted as they should, but every time I try to play a midi file (whatever I use--Composer, Nero Media Player, Windows Media Player or Soundblaster's player--after a few to several seconds, a piercing buzz takes over and the computer freezes totally. The only option is to use the on/off button and wait out the disk scan on restarting.

I suspect there is something simple that I need to do, but I haven't found it after a lot of work. Can anybody make any suggestions?

many thanks,
mgj
