Windows 10: [2021] Windows 10 MIDI input device problem

Apologies if this is a repeated issue, however the last known issue I found when searching was from 2015 with no helfpul resolution.

I've just got a Dell Inspiron 7700 all in one machine, and for some reason it does not treat any MIDI input devices as such. It recognises them and on the device manager they are installed, up to date and working, however when using DAW software Cakewalk by BandLab they are completely invisible.

I have two devices, a PreSonus Audiobox, and an AKAI MPK mini, both of which are properly installed and working but will not be recognised by my DAW as MIDI input devices.


These 2 devices work perfectly fine with my older Dell laptop with no issues with the same DAW. I have also checked the registry entries under 'drivers32' and they match completely between the machines.

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, unplugging, replugging, and looked at various options from YouTube, some of which involve editing the registry but nothing has helped.

There are no current updates available on Windows Update either, so I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. Anyone know what the problem is?

Windows 10 Midi Input

Hi would like to ask, i bought a midi cable to connect between my laptop and a Casio Keyboard. After connection, windows 10 detected the device as a USB Composite Device. I could not set or add a new device for the recording device. Is there a specific driver
you can recommend for me to install so as to enable windows 10 to detect the MIDI input from my piano keyboard.

Thanks.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

USB MIDI Audio Interface (M-Audio USB MIDI device) - not working in certain applications for MIDI Input.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

1) I have a MIDI keyboard connected to my desktop via a M-Audio USB MIDI Interface.

2) This device has worked before fine, but all-of-a-sudden, one of the apps I use to write music (Famitracker) suddenly will not open the MIDI Input. It's the same error I get when another application is using the MIDI controller at the same time - maybe
there is some service or application running in the background that is using the MIDI controller? If so, I can't figure out what it would be.

3) MIDI-OX (the software used to test MIDI input/output) also will not open the MIDI controller input. It says Unknown external error.

4) However, Finale V 25 detects the MIDI controller and I am able to use my MIDI keyboard just fine.

I would appreciate any help in this regard.
