MIDI Keyboard with Dell SBlive Drivers
This is a discussion about MIDI Keyboard with Dell SBlive Drivers in the Windows Hardware category; I installed the Dell SBlive drivers and everything seems to be working, with the exception of my MIDI keyboard. Under Win98, I can open the Creative Keyboard app and use that to play music. Using these drivers under Win 2000, the Creative Keyboard app doesn't work with the keyboard.

Using these drivers under Win 2000, the Creative Keyboard app doesn't work with the keyboard.
Under Win98, this app has an "Options" button in the lower left corner, that does not appear under Win 2000 for some reason, so this may have something to do with the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else tried to use a MIDI device with these new drivers?
Thanks

Hmmm.. it worked for me - don't really like the keyboard much but played twinkle twinkle little star on it <g>. In all seriousness, I was playing with it earlier and it worked fine. Windows 2000 pro (retail).

Thanks for the feedback.
Just to clarify, does your Keyboard app work with a MIDI keyboard attached?
The app works for me if I use the mouse to press the piano keys, but my MIDI keyboard can no longer control the app like it does under Win 98.

DOH! Sorry, stupid me <g>. I thought you were talking about the silly keyboard app that comes with liveware! Don't know about that. Line In is greyed out, however, which is a bummer because my tv card runs through that line. Is your line in greyed out under audiohq/speaker/panning source ? Sorry for the misunderstanding

My line in under the panning source is grayed out, but it does seem to work because I have a TV card plugged into that also.
My MIDI keyboard is now working as well! I don't know how, but after my last re-boot, the "Options" button now appears in the Creative Keyboard app, and after setting the correct MIDI input, I can now use the MIDI keyboard to play notes with it. I'm not sure what fixed it, but I'm happy!

Glad to hear it - I just wish there was some way to get my TV card audio to come from all 4 speaker - I am using a cdrom pass through (cable from cdrom to tv card to soundcard) but the speaker applet does not permit moving the cd output to any position in space, and environments do not apply to that channel. If you can figure out how to make that work I would be very much in your debt
