MIDI port not working...

[Guest]

I just recently got a SB Live! soundcard with a midi gameport installed at
the back of my computer, and I have a my Yamaha PSR-273 plugged in. The
problem is, I do not see the gameport listed in any MIDI device list, sich as
MusicTime Deluxe and the Sound applet in the Control Panel.

I have Windows XP Home SP2

Can anybody help me??

Hi,

Check to ensure that the proper services are started via:
Start/Run/services.msc. In the meantime, run the edit on line 371:

Mine has a MIDI entry- in fact 2 ,1 for inboard sound & 1
for my ESS Soundcard. See my DM @

If u dont have 1 then as far as ur PC is concerned u dont
have MIDI installed.

Perhaps it was disabled when u disabled SB Live. Try
enabling it. If Realtek is ur onboard sound, u must
disable it on the MOBO or in the Device Manager b4 SB Live
will work.

ok, Realtek is my on-board soundcard, and I only plan on using the SB Live!
card for MIDI. The SB card is like the one in

but it also has a midi gameport on the back.

Hikaru, did you disable your onboard Realtek from within the BIOS? If
not, you should do this and then try your SB card.

" midi gameport" is confusing. I think u have gameports
& MIDI synthesisers that generate sounds via some
gizmos on ur sound card. Why u dont have a MIDI entry
for Realtek I dont know. I have 2 since I have onboard
sound & ESS sound card. Disabling onboard sound in DM
did NOT disable the onboard MIDI entry.

I dont use my PC for music so I dont know much about
it. I do know that Malke & Kelly know far more than I
so I suggest u follow their advise. I was getting Code
12's in DM & learned just enuf or got lucky enuf to fix
it!!
