  1. Unable to open or play midi files in Windows 10


    Hello. I have just bought a Dell Inspirion 3671 with Windows 10 1909 installed 1.7.20. I do music composition, and cannot open any midi files. Is there a soundboard or driver problem? I use Finale 26 which relies on Midi input from a piano keyboard as a default. Is there a soundboard or driver problem?

    I cannot open and play existing midi files or any Finale music in midi mode.

    Please advise me please.

  2. Playing MIDI files

    Hi Dennis,

    To isolate your concern, provide the answers to the following:

    • Are you receiving an error message when trying to play a MIDI file?
    • On what program are you trying to play it with?
    • What program were you using before to be able to play it on your computer?

    Regards

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  4. Unable to open or play midi files in Windows 10

    Midi files not playing

    Hello,

    I have a problem about playing the midi files;Windows Media Player always sends me this message when i open any midi file : "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device
    installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.
    "

    I tried reinstalling the sound device and updating it but its the same.Also, this problem is not limited to WMP but also the midi sequencer apps.

    I have Windows 8.1 on laptop HP Elitebook 844p.

    My driver is IDT High Definition.

    N.P. : Windows media player can play most other media files without a problem (mp3, mp4, wav...)

    Thanks.
