282255 2004-10-18 05:02:00 I've been looking for a MIDI Driver for my laptop. I dont know exactly what my audio setup is as I dont use sound, but I cannot access a game unless I have MIDI driver for my sound card...

When I go into Device Manager (I am using winxp home) it shows Legacy Audio Driver.....Audio Codecs....ALi Audio Acceleator.....thats all there is to do with audio...

Can someone help me find this driver :)

Cheers

282256 2004-10-18 05:13:00 Did u try going to Windowsupdate to see if there were drivers there??

I would have thought if u have the right drivers for the soundcard, the midi drivers would be part of that?

282257 2004-10-18 05:32:00 I thought they would be included too...

i've run windows update and there was 2 audio updates, so i did those, then restarted computer...but they didnt make a difference...

Is there any free audio driver download websites as i cant find any

282258 2004-10-18 05:37:00 I would use something like that Belarc Adviser, or a program that can NAME what the soundcard is in your system. So, you can get the RIGHT driver.


What game wants the midi driver?

282259 2004-10-18 05:38:00 do you know what the audio chip/ hardware is e.g. AC97 etc ?
If you uninstalled the sound controller , could you reinstall the driver from the notebooks recovery cd ? Seems a shame you have sound problems preventing you playing a game , and yet no need of sound ...

282261 2004-10-18 06:04:00 What make/model is that laptop?? Compaq? I dunno what the site is for Belarc is. BUT its in this forum on a previous post somewhere.

This is a link for Conexant AC-Link Audio driver if that laptop is a Compaq

h18000.www1.hp.com

Or just goto http://www.yahoo.com for Conexant AC-Link Audio drivers

It'll bring up heaps of different things/sites

282262 2004-10-18 06:17:00 we have a version of that game here "Super Solvers Gizmos & Gadgets!" - ours is for win 3.1 / 95 - it installed fine on our win 98se machine , but no way could I get it to run on XP , no matter what emulation I tried - I trust your version is more up to date CS , shame as it's a nice game ...

282263 2004-10-18 06:24:00 I just got the case and found its exactly the same game..Super Solvers Gizmos and Gadgets..

so ur saying it cannot work? I got it installed perfect...when I click to open program it says

the midi driver for your sound card could not be found. Make sure correct sound card drivers are installed b4 restarting gizmos and gadgets. Consult your sound card documentation for additional information...

thats where i'm stuck..

I installed that driver too and no change...

I think i mite Email the Learning Company (makers of the game)

282264 2004-10-18 06:37:00 worth a go e-mailing them and I'd be interested in their reply too. I've only tried to install it once on XP [ Home] , and I couldn't get it to work at all ... after many hours ... ?:| KatiMike (242)
