Try activating BassMIDI through PLW-Vista MIDI Mapper (I used then when I was using Windows 7 to get TIMIDITY working, should work the same way for getting BassMIDI?)
If that doesn't work, check in the Windows Mixer to see how BassMIDI's volume levels are.

Because using this control panel file to select bassmidi didn't solve the problem and I don't see volume settings specifically for Bassmidi among the sound options and management anywhere. But it's funny that while ZC was running, there was a separate volume scale for it, that will be useful to remember.
If everything is fine from 2.10.2 onwards, then maybe it's not a coincidence that 2.10.0 has the midi bug, maybe the issue is related.
(I was so waiting forward to listening to an enhanced Doctor Who New Seasons 4 title while in 2.10...)

Edit: Woah, WMP actually works with it! Who knew? Here's hoping it doesn't invoke the old MIDI mute bug from my other comp...

How do you get the soundfont from sflib10c.zip? It contains an old exe file that doesn't work under 64bit windows D:

Also all links to github and mudlord etc. should be updated as the download link for the latest BASSMIDI driver is now here http://www.mudlord.info/crap/audio/ (v2.03 is expected soon which fixes volume bug)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V5YNBFRO Here's another semi-permanent (probably less permanent than the dropbox one) mirror (courtesy of Alestance) for the soundfont. Google for a program that deals with the file you end up downloading from here (it's also compressed here to 107 MB
Norton Safe Search says that the site where BassMIDI can be found is unsafe (red circle with a white X in it next to the site's links.) Going into unsafe sites is VERY dangerous. I noticed that the link to the nice soundfont doesn't work. I have heard that Windows 7 64bit doesn't allow you to change the default midi synthesizer.
http://dl.dropbox.co...mididrv2.02.exe
I ran this on my Win7 64 and it installed with no problems. I get to enjoy MIDIs that don't sound like crap. Also, BAD NOLORNBORN. uninstall Norton this instant. and get something better like Avast!, Microsoft Security Essentials, or if you can afford/"Afford" it something like ESET or Kapersky.

1. On the download link on the OP, which file do I need to download?
2. How do I install it? The page that says how to install it is broken.
3. If the driver does not work or causes massive amounts of slowdown, how do I get my old MIDI driver back?
4. Does it need a more powerful laptop/computer than the default MIDI driver?
5. Do I need to install anything else before the driver will work?
6. Will Windows 7 cause the driver to break?
Thanks for any answers!

I came across an annoying problem with it though. Unfocusing ZC makes all the instrument tracks use the acoustic grand piano preset.
It seems the link to your soundfont you provided is no longer available. I am curious which soundfont you linked? Do you know the file name?
I use soundfonts to make music, and I came across a great free one a long time ago. It's like 140MB, but when dealing with a sound library with good quality, that's to be expected.
If anyone wants it, feel free to check it out, I recommend it for sure.
It's called FluidR3_GM.sf2
This link I provided should work:
