| 104757 | 2002-12-12 03:26:00 | I'm really groping in the dark here. I cannot remember where to go to get the System info. But does SiS 7012 Audio Utility mean anything for the sound card? I have Win 98 on a GenuineIntel with 256 mb RAM. By the way, on the PcWorld banner above, I get the sound of sleigh bells when the reindeer pass through. | poppy (552) | ||
| 104758 | 2002-12-12 03:59:00 | Umm.. it's been a long time since I've used 98 ... so I can't exactly remember but I'll give it a try anyway :D In control panel , there should be something called Sounds and Multimedia or something like that (told ya i can't remember) once to open that, you should be able to see some tabs that says ... Sound / Audio / Video / Devices Click on the Audio Tab at the bottom there should be something that says MIDI Music Playback Preferred Device See what is your Preferred Device Common ones are : Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth MPU-401 After that, click on the Device Tab and expand the MIDI Devices & Instruments tree and see what is there. Cheers :D |

| 104759 | 2002-12-12 04:06:00 | Before you perform open heart surgery on the PC, find the volume controls. When you double click on the volume icon next to the clock (or open Sounds in control panel) In properties, tick ALL the boxes for now. There are 15 in mine. (you may have less, and they don't all apply) I would guess the important ones at this stage are Volume Wave They should NOT have a tick in the "mute" box. SiS 7012 will be your on-board Audio chipset, well done! As Tweak'e has said however, not all sound chipsets support MIDI files. |

Does anyone know what file format the bells are in as this might be a clue as to why she can't hear midi files? Poppy you mentioned you had both Internet Explorer and Netscape. Can you hear midi files in one but not the other? |
