Does anyone know how EI6 SP1 can play midis on webpages if
it is not using the 3 obvious players on my XP system
which are WMP & Real Player & Quicktime Player? I am
trying to figure out a temporary workaround to the problem
I am having with erratic sound--my warantee carrier has
offered me a new sound card, but in the meantime I need to
work with some midis and wavs on webpages so would like to
keep the sound going on those two file types until the
computer goes in for repair. In a previous post (Dec26
11:25am PT "No sound..), I could play everything EXCEPT
midis, now I can play ONLY midis. If I knew how IE was
playing its midis, maybe that would help. The webpage I'm
using as my "standard test" for IE is www.macdougall.org
(bagpipe midi when it opens). At the moment WMP and
Quicktime have no sound (they play the files, but
silently) and Real Player can play a midi with sound from
my harddrive at the same time as IE is playing a different
midi from a website. So how is IE playing it? I thought IE
had to use one of the players. Any ideas would be very
welcome.
Mystified on the Westcoast, Louise.
P.S. Even more mystifying is this: if the sound stops
functioning on both IE and Real Player, I can trigger them
to start functioning again by opening www.tiverton.org.
Strangely, the piano midi when that website opens always
plays in IE, and then all midis will play again. !!???
