The midis don't work on ZC 2.11 b15. Anyone who can help me, it will be greatly appreciated once more.

[Nicholas Steel]

er, use a much newer version of ZC?

[Teilyr]

Yeah man.. Upgrade.

Or just make sure your volume control is turned... blah blah. You should know this by now.

Seriously though. 2.11 is at build 635 on windows. Even more recent on Mac and Linux. Get with the times.

2.13 is at build 635

Something tells me it's time to update. It's not the volume control, and I have Allegro and all that other stuff.

I do have b 315 or something close to that - is that close enough?

[Shoelace]

Well the new beta is pretty damn stable. So that is your safe bet. <3 stableness.

[Taco Chopper]

Which one's that, out of question?

currently 635 is the latest windows one.

I just realised. It's not ZC at all. It's actually the computer in general. It won't play midis. If any mods read this at all, can you move it to General Computer Help/Discussion please?

[Nicholas Steel]

it is and always has been in the general computer section o_O

... *Fiddle*Fiddle* ... You mean NOW it has? >.> <.<

I have the same problem on my Pentium II 300 MHZ 256 MB Ram machine that I've had since '98. Ever since the Beta 10 to Beta 15 betas, there has been no sound whatsoever in any case at all. Nothing. Ever. No circumstances would grant me any sound at all, with no exceptions. It works just fine on my Celeron D machine for all cases though, so yeah, it's gotta be the PC. How old is it, Taco?

When you play a sound, your computer sends it to the sound card as sound ('duh' you might say, but wait) which the sound card plays (they all do that).

When you play a midi however, the computer does not actually send and sound to the card - it sends a form of musical notes which the sound card (should) turn into sound itself.

Which means, apart from that your sound card must be able to render midis, that you need the correct midi drivers for your OS and sound card installed.

So, my guess: your drivers need updating. Check your sound card manufacturers' website (Windows control panel / Hardware might help you to discover what card you have).

I had the same problem, what I do, open a midi in Windows Media Player, skip to the end, and they should work if you leave the window open or minimized

The computer's about a year or two, but about two weeks, maybe three weeks ago the hard drive got a RAM upgrade. A friend of the family (who is a computer whiz), might have done something, not that I'm gonna blame him. And I can't find anything that allows me to change the midi soundcard.

[Nicholas Steel]

your hardrive can't get a RAM upgrade because RAM is a seperate thing to a hard drive =)
