No sound and no MIDI devices found in Vista

[mabril]

Hi, Sherry. First of all, thank you very much for your fast response. In the MIDI configuration menu I see nothing, just the title (‘Configuration: Default configuration’) and the names of the fields (‘In’, ‘Or’, ‘Port or Device’, ‘Nameec’ and ‘Playback Channels’). I forgot to tell you before that I have this same problem (No sound, no MIDI devices on the list) with other programmes I have tried, which took me to suspect that it is a Vista problem. However, the sound card works ok when listening to music in MP3 format or even playing MIDI files with Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player or others.

If you use (in Musician) Setup/MIDI Device Configuration (not the "Quick" one), what device(s) do you see listed there? If the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" is listed there, then (1) right-click it and (2) check the "Set as default playback device" (about half-way down the list.
It won't sound terrific, but you should at least get some sound.

If that doesn't get you sound, then you probably will need to at least update the drivers for your soundcard. Hopefully we can avoid messing with the registry

ttfn,
