Ugh... So I'm auditioning for a spot as composer on a game production team, and I was preparing to make up and send them some MIDI compositions to demonstrate my mad skills... But I learned to my dismay that I don't get any MIDI (GM Bank) feedback in Windows Media Player or any of my sequencing programs! I looked into Playback devices (in the control panel) and was appalled to see not even the generic Wavetable Synth for MIDI playback. It's not like I never had it; my computer played MIDI fine before. But now only FireFox plays MIDI files (using a Quicktime extension)! Is there a way to retrieve the drivers/BIOS of the generic WaveTable synth again? |

** My technical knowledge of Vista is pretty piss poor, only briefly fiddling with other people's machines and I've never touched SP1, so don't take what I say as gospel, but I have in the past looked into MIDI on Vista, as a friend was having serious issues ** |

incidentally, after getting frustrated with Vista (my mate's an amateur producer who needs 2-way MIDI communication between his machine and his keyboard and hardware sampler - lack of external MIDI was a complete show-stopper for him) I showed him Ubuntu Studio |

I see. So instead of making life easy for people, Microsoft pushes them toward Linux. Ugh (nothing against Linux). |
