THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU!!!!!! THANKYOU!!!!!! I aparently didn't even have that Gm16.dls file at all! Now I do and it works! thankyou soo much for your time and effort!!! Keavie
Ok I will also download the other. I will be playing World of Warcraft with it. The other game I play is text based so we don;t actually have sounds Keavie
The GS wavetable synth might be broken but I hope not, I just got the computer and have had it less than a month. It was built as a gaming computer, but it should still work with music lol. ugh. Ok Lawrie, I downloaded the Midiox, and I read what you said to do, but wow, I'm really not sure how to do that. I really don't know if something is interupting the midi, I can't recall anything I have that would do it. Admin: There didn't seem to be any problems indicated in the logs.
OK! so I went through the list of things you mentioned lawrie and Checked every box possible I can under the sounds and audio devices so that I can view all of their settings. I SWEAR nothing is muted and all of it is at full blast, espically the SW Synth. I also ran media player with a midi, and it did change the status of the Sw Synth setting. It played the midi file in Media player, but it didn't have any sound and yes I tried several midis to know that it wasnt them. I did select the only option I have which is the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. ok let me state again I ran the sndvol32 and looked everything over and nothing is muted. I also clicked on the Sounds and audio devices and made sure every setting is viewable under the sndvol32. Nothing is muted!. Ok here are the stats on my computer. No sound card persay, just the what the motherboard itself has. I only have the GS Wavetable SW Synth option. I also have Realtek HD Audio Manager as the sound icon thing in the taskbar and yes everything is unmuted and high. I do have windows XP.
To Dave: When I ran audio devices and settings and under the volume tab it just says Realtek HD Audio output, then device volume which is on high and not muted, and then the speaker settings which are also unmuted and on high. Under the audio tab I have the only option checked which is Microsoft GS wavetable sw synth and when I click on volume for it it says it is unmuted and all the way up.
Thanks for your time. But seriously the sw synth and the midi volume and all the other volumes are not muted.
1. Do you get any sound at all? Yes I can play music, mp3s and such normally and I use skype to talk to friends which works fine.
2.Does Windows play start and shutdown sounds? No it doesn't, however I hear the noise when I get an error and things like that.
3.When you receive e-mail, does it say "pling"? I have gmail which doesn't have sounds to it.
4.Can you test the volume in any way? Sound works on skype, and yahoo games, mp3s..
5. If so, can you play Midi files? I downloaded a midi to try it out. It opened with Nero Showtime 2 and I couldnt hear it so I tried it in Windows Media player and had the same no sound result. I looked in the settings for windows media player but I didnt see anything that looked helpful.
Thanks so much for replying, I tried everything you suggested, and I did choose the microsoft GS wavetable etc in the options tab. The Sw synth thing and all my other volumes are not muted. It still doesn't work. I just don't know what to do. Keavie
I could really use some help. I recently got a new computer and I can't get the sound to work on the noteworthy program. I read all the help on it and this discussion. I also ran the programs and have looked at all the sound settings I can. The SW synth this is not muted and is at full blast. In fact nothing is muted on anything I ran and found. I don't know what media player version I have and I am using windows xp. One big reason I got the new computer was so I could use noteworthy! I would really appreciate the help! Keavie
