Window Device manager erros on the MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device

[Guest]

Hi..i having this issue..anyone expert can helps.. This device cannot find
enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) If you want to use this
device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
This is after i change a hard disk and reinstall window xp.. and when i
startup or shut down normally got window sounds..but now..no sound at all...
I am using a Asus motherboard and is a onboard sound card.....

I wonder if your on-board sound card has an MPU-401 compatible device at
all: that would be a MIDI Out connector with timer functionality.

Installing and activating Windows system sounds is a matter of choice, but
if you are unable to get any sound from your system, then
1) check through Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices | Volume that
Mute is unchecked, Place Volume Icon In The Taskbar is checked (for easy
access);
2) check through Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices | Audio that your
default Sound Playback device and your default MIDI Music Playback device
match your on-board sound card.
3) double-click that Volume icon in the System Tray (taskbar, near the
clock), and check that (for now) nothing is muted, and no slider is fully
down. The ones that particularly matter are the Volume Control (master),
Wave and (for MIDI) SW Synth sliders.
Note: these sliders may have mysteriously been set to zero. I have not yet
found out, what program or incident could be to blame.
Concentrate on restoring sound in general, then these system sounds, finally
MIDI.

So now your sound card is working!

1) Can you now play and hear MIDI files (extension MID or KAR) too?

2) You seem to have no "sound scheme" set. In Control Panel | Sounds and
Audio Devices | Sounds you can select a sound scheme, and if you wish modify
or delete it.
The scheme itself is not a sound, but a batch of references to sound files.
These files must obviously be present, or they can't be played.
