Default Hi Sherry, Not an expert by

Hi Sherry,

Not an expert by any means, but pretty good at installing a card without defects.

I did learn a couple of things along the way. One just today. The reason the Musica Theoria strings sounded garbled--like a tape with a missing felt--appears to be that I had the MT bank in Synth A and the default Gm bank in Synth B, and both are used in the piece. I made them both MT and all sounds well.

Another one, which might be of more general interest is that in My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager/View, one can select show hidden devices. Then going to Sound and expanding it, any devices with grayed out icons are devices that don't exist, yet the drivers are loaded at each startup. Uninstalling these makes the computer work faster, and might help with performance, too.

all best,
mgj
