problem with midi in sonar

i'm using sonar home studio, and i'm not getting any midi playback.

the microsoft synth is my default midi playback device in windows setup. recording and playback are both set to a toneport ux2. ux2 is running functionally as a soundcard.

in shs, i can record and playback audio, but i have no midi playback. my selected input midi devices in order are ux2, mpu-401. my selected output midi devices in order are mpu-401, ux2. microsoft synth is listed but cannot be selected. all other recording/playback selections within shs options are ux2. in each track, i have tried virtually every combination of inputs and outputs without any response.

the mpu-401 is the onboard midi. the ux2 has no midi output. i actually had midi working for a few minutes before shs crashed, and i haven't been able to get midi to work since.

i have a soundcard from a few years ago that has midi output, but i did have the onboard midi working at one time, so i'm thinking i shouldn't have to install another sound card for that.

my purpose of midi is to program drums within shs. i'm not using an external keyboard, just the piano roll in shs.

i've been working on this the past few days and made no progress. anyone know what i can do?
 
Silly question but.... are the drivers for the midi device enabled? Even if you have selected a device, you still have to enable the drivers.
 
Also, what drivers are you using. I believe the MS GS Wavetable is only available when using MME drivers. If you are using ASIO or WDM that could be your problem.

The Microsoft WS Synth is not a compatible port. Use a DXi softsynth that ships with SHS 4 instead (VSC).

The tutorials go into great detail as to how this is done.
