Hi,
I cannot hear any sounds when importing .wav files onto my laptop, and would appreciate people’s help with this problem.
I recently loaded a version of Cakewalk’s ‘Home Studio’ onto my Dell Inspiron laptop with the aim of importing tracks which my friend and I have recorded in Home Studio on his computer.
However, every time I open Home Studio I receive the message:
‘No MIDI Outputs Selected: You Have Not Selected Any MIDI Outputs – This Means You Won’t Be Able To Hear Anything Play’ (I can hear regular CD’s, MP3’s etc., but not .Wav files that I’m trying to import).
So, when I get this message, I choose ‘Choose MIDI Outputs Now’, which opens the ‘MIDI Dialog’ box which is subdivided into ‘Inputs’ and ‘Outputs’ sections. The ‘Inputs’ section is blank, but the ‘Outputs’ section contains ‘Microsoft MIDI Mapper’.
So, I choose ‘Microsoft MIDI Mapper’, but when I click ‘O.K.’, I get returned to the ‘No MIDI Outputs Selected’ dialog box.
According to the Hardware tab of the Sounds and Audio Devices dialog box, my Sigma-Tel C Major Audio devices are working properly.
Also, when I got to My Computer – Sounds and Audio Devices, all volume controls are enabled and Audio Devices, MIDI Devices and Instruments (including WDM Based Devices), and Mixer Devices are all working properly.
The MIDI Music Playback device is Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth, and is apparently working properly.
For Sound Playback, Sound Recording the ONLY default device is the Sigma Tel C-Major Audio, and for MIDI Playback, the ONLY default device is the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth (i.e., there are no other options to choose on my system).
As I said above, I am able to listen to things like Windows XP’s system sounds, CD’s, MP3’s etc., but *cannot* hear any of the .wav files I import into Home Studio, and am unable to successfully choose any MIDI Outputs.
I’m totally confused by this, and would very much appreciate enlightenment about this.
Many thanks,
