last night i blew up my computer iuse for college work doing silly things with it. so now i put a midi sound card in my good computer so i can do work on this one. cant get any sound though on one of my programs. does anyone use cakewalk? its driving me bonkers!!! it works fine on reason. i can record with my keyboard on cakewalk but i cant hear it.

anyone musically orientated ur help would be much appreciated.

Hey i loved using cakewalk!

All i can suggest is going into the soundcard's properties and making sure the midi isnt muted or lowered to the minimum.

no i set it all up and checked everything was in order. i got 2 sound cards going off at the mo because the sound comes out of the moniter. I've gone into the midi devices bit on cakewalk but there aren't many coming up. only inputs - mpu-401 and outputs mpu-401 and microsoft midimapper.

just had a thought, would it help if i installed creative on my computer? thats what i had upstairs. it might have been a creative soundcard though. im not going near it after the sizzling and smoke of last nights efforts.

Ah. Yes installng the creative drivers for the card would be essential if its the same sound card, since the basic windows drivers dont handle proper midi functions too well...

i dunno what the soundcard is called i pinched it off my bf and shoved it in do you know how i can find out what my sound card is called? and what drivers i would need to make it work better?

is it not on ure device list???

my what? lol

when i put the sound card in i searched for the drivers and it installed the best ones, i think.

where's my device list?

i found my old thread yay

decided to give it another go recording midi but i still cant get my drivers to work

spinner please help me again

summary
i have installed asio4all driver things but no joy. i still have the two soundcards and in cakewalk the midi devices are not coming up. everything is fine in reason but not cakewalk. sound will play through my keyboard but no midi

First thing that springs to mind would be to check the web for updates to cakewalk.

Just before we go any further, have you seen/tried this?
