If you are using the 15-pin gameport connector to
connect the keyboard, the keyboard is using the drivers
of your computer's soundcard.
If it is not working, the most common problem is the
soundcard's drivers rather than the keyboard.
The MIDI input driver would correspond to the MIDI
in port of your sound card, so could be called something
like "SBLive MIDI IN". Other cards would have
driver names such as "ESS MIDI IN " or “Terratec
MIDI IN". Most sound chips that come included with
the computer's motherboard would rely on using the MIDI
driver that comes with Windows. This driver is called
the "MPU401" or "UART". If you have
it showing, then you should be able to select that for
input. If it is not working, or not showing. Try re-installing
your soundcards drivers. Make sure you have the latest
edition of the Soundcard drivers available on your Soundcard
manufacturer's website.
If this does not fix the problem, it is possible you
have a hardware problem. If you have a soundcard it
is most likely a hardware conflict. To find out:
Go into the Device Manager.
Check under 'Sound Video and Game controllers' or 'other
devices'.
If your Soundcard is listed with a yellow exclamation
mark there is a problem.
Double click on the computer icon in the top left hand
corner of the device Manager to find out what other
devices are using the same IRQ as your Soundcard.
Disable devices you are not using that have the same
IRQ number assigned as your soundcard. To do this, locate
the conflicting Device in the Device Manager, right-click
on it and select 'disable'.
If you are using a soundcard you have purchased separately
from your computer, try disabling your on-board soundcard
drivers and re-installing your soundcard drivers.
Still Not fixed?
