Max Arwood Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) I'm trying to help a friend. He went to bed, woke up the next day and his MIDI no longer works. We have done most of the simple things (Reboots, Reinstall). I was trying to find the audio.ini etc. I know this is not much to go on. Scarlett Sound card. Using MIDI form there. The ins and outs are set correctly. The start, stop, setting is correct in setup Can't find it Auio.ini to try deleting it?? - Any and all suggestions are welcome. EDIT-> we tried so many different things you wouldn’t believe. Trying to save some edits to songs done in the last few days. Well, there’s nothing like having a good back up and sometimes that’s the answer. It certainly was the answer this time. Thanks for all the help guys.

pwallie Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) windows update overnight? (assuming he sleeps at night haha) eta, "reboot, reinstall" - does that mean a genuine power off/on of all devices (not just a win restart from the start menu) Edited October 5 by pwallington blunt eta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Baay Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 What exactly are the symptoms of "not working"; what's the source and what's the target? Does the interface have MIDI activity lights to verify it's receiving input from a keyboard or output from the PC? How about CbB's MIDI activity indicator in the system tray? How about the health status of the driver in Device Manager? Try unchecking/re-checking the ports in MIDI Devices and saving changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check you haven't got a Control Surface using those MIDI ports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promidi Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 2 hours ago, Max Arwood said: Keyboard no longer communicating with Cakewalk. Do you have a standalone softsynth that you can test that your keyboard is working correctly. What else have you tried? I am assuming you have checked that you do not have a Control Surface using those MIDI ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 We will try the soft synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Is keyboard is using USB MIDI or a DIN connection to the Scarlett? In either case, I second Promidi's suggestion to check for incorrect assignment of a port as a Control Surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Bad cable. Thanks for all the suggestions and help! That is one of the best things about cakewalk. I even check in at the old original newsgroup once in a while. There are still 5-6 people that check in from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Arwood Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 (edited) Yes the few old timers are still there. Bad news about the friend's computer. Is it not fixed. It is stuttering. We turned off the FX the computer. It's running 1.5 cpu taskmanager on cakewalk. He didn't tell me all the details. It won't even play a song. We reinstalled cakewalk. That didn't help. I will try to do a fresh install (It will be remote - Which make me a little nervous messing with the registry over the internet. I'll try that tomorrow. Edit here down-> He has no control surface.
