Midi Sound & Audigy 1

Lorus · Nov 10, 2003, 10:45 PM

I seem to have a problem in that I cannot hear any sound when I click on a midi (.mid) file, no matter which program I use (eg Windows Media Player Magix Music Studio etc).

I updated my kx driver to 3534 to see if this would solve the problem but there was no effect.

All other sounds are working fine and I cannot see any problems in the windows mixer applet, so could this be a routing problem?

I'm baffled! Please help if you have any ideas!

Sorry, tried that but still no sound for the .mid files!

Can you help?

1. Reset kX's settings.
2. Load a GM Soundfont

It will work.

You're right it works!

But I still can't get the right sounds GM or GS?

Can you help? I don't have a soundfont bank that will recreate the GS or GM sounds?

Thanks!

Hi Lorus:

There's a new site that has free .sf2 files for download. All you have to do is register.

The site is here: http://www.sf2-midi.com/

There are free GM/GS soundfonts there in the "download sf2" section. You can get a GM/GS soundfont from there.

Sincerely, thomasabarnes
