Can't play mid files in Audigy2

I have installed my Audigy 2 ZX for months. I found it couldn't play midi files until recently. I had tried to cleansweep both the drivers and Creative's applications several times but no help. It is silent whenever I playback those files. What I noticed that the option of midi playback in Multimedia was blank. I had chosen different options but it return to blank next time.
Anyone can help? TIA.
Regards,
Michael

It should work.
. Double-click the speaker icon near the clock.
2. Select Options>Properties, put dot in Playback circle.
3. Put a checkmark in the Midi Synth box and click OK
4. Make sure Midi Synth is not muted and that it's volume control is near the top.
Of course, you also need a player which will play midi files. Many do, but I prefer
vanBasco's Player....free at http://www.vanbasco.com/
Good luck,
Arnie

  • Can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5

    PLEASE help! I'm an old boomer and not too tech-savvy (know enough to get all messed up!).
    I can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'm trying to play files from this website: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/ (just select a song under the "Titles" link), using Safari and/or Firefox browser -- to no good end!
    What can I buy or add on that will enable the playing of MIDI files??
    Thank you!

    I had heard that MIDI worked in Lion, but don't currently have it to test.
    There's a somewhat involved way to get it working described here, or you may be able to download the files & play them locally.

  • I can't play midi files.

    Hi,
    I have the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime but I can't play midi files with Quicktime anymore. I have to remove iTunes to be able to play them. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can have iTunes and play midis too? They used to play on my computer so I don't know what's going on.
    Thanks!

    Do you have QuickTimeMusic.qtx and QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx (and their resource directory) in your Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem directory?
    And you may need to remove some codec packs include QuickTime support.
    And why you have to use QuickTime synthesizer for MIDI files? It uses obsolete technology and a small soundfont (from about 1997) and without proper support for Yamaha XG MIDI files?

  • Can't play midi files anymore

    I've upgraded to QT 7.2 and now any midi file I download is unplayable. All I get it "Mac OS error -208". What gives? I use a lot of midi files for my work and now - nothing. Does anyone know a fix?

    I just ran into the same thing. Use to work fine, now it doesn't. I don't play midi often so I can't pin point it, but Michael might be on to something. I checked my log and on Sept. 20 I upgraded to QT 7.2. I just downloaded Mighty MIDI and it plays. Sounds bad though. And it plays find under Windows running on the same computer.
    Here's a link to a working file:

    Can somebody else with QT 7.2 try it and report the results here? TIA

  • Can I play MIDI files on a Disklavier with iTunes?

    I have the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver installed on my PowerMac G4 which I have been using to play piano MIDI files on my Yamaha Disklavier using the shareare program QMidi.
    Is it possible to play these MIDI files through the MIDI-USB connection to my Disklavier using iTunes?
    Right now iTunes appears to play these files with the Quicktime music synthesizer and the synthesized piano plays through the speakers. If this is the case, can the Quicktime plug-in be configured to pass the MIDI data to the Yamaha MIDI-USB driver rather than using the synthesizer?
    PowerMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iTunes 6.0.4

    See "More like this" in the sidebar at right.

  • QuickTime X opens 7 to play MIDI files

    I've been wondering this for a while, but only recently thought to ask as it isn't that much of a concern. I installed QuickTime 7 on my Mountain Lion installation per the official instructions (I had QuickTime Pro on my old Mac and needed to retain that functionality), and since then when attempting to play a MIDI file QuickTime X closes and opens the file in QuickTime 7. Is this normal, expected behavior?

    Yep.
    QuickTime X can't play MIDI files (and many other older formats) so it passes them off to QuickTime Player 7.

  • How to play *.mid files

    I would realy apreciate if someone help me!
    Thanks.

    You can play midi files using the MMAPI. Here is a small example for how to play a midi file:
    import javax.microedition.media.*;
    import java.io.*;
    try{
        Player player;
        InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/test.mid");
        player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/midi");
        player.realize();
        player.start();
    }catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Error: " + e.toString());
    }You can find a great tutorial from here:

  • I'm trying to play MIDI files in Quicktime. It works buy the volume is very low, even with both Quicktime and computer volume on max. What can I do?

    I'm trying to play MIDI files in Quicktime. It works buy the volume is very low, even with both Quicktime and computer volume on max. What can I do?

    I'm having the same issue.  After opening Audio Midi Setup in Utilities I noticed that the master volume slider of the Built-In Output is very low.  I am not able to slide to get any more level out of the system.
    Can you adjust the master volume on your system?

  • How to get QuickTime Plugin to play .mid files?

    I have quicktime Plugin installed. It works for playing video files but I can't get it to play .mid files in browser. Firefox asks me to download the file first, even though through options -> application types, I have set it to use the QuickTime plugin.
    I have firefox 22 and quicktime 7.7.4

    Also through MIME settings in QuickTime I have set QuickTime to be associated with .mid and .midi files.

  • Can't preview midi files?

    Hi
    When I was on OS X 10.6.8 I could just preview a midi file for just selecting it and tap the space bar, as we do for preview a music, an image or a document.
    But now I upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.4 and I can't preview midi files anymore.
    When I tap the space bar it only shows the name, size of file and last time it was modified, but it won't play the midi file.
    Someone knows how to resolve this?

  • Itunes 10.7 not playing MIDI files

    ITunes 10.7 is not playing midi files (.mid).  I often play MIDI files and convert them to MP3 files using iTunes. Has Apple stopped supporting playing and converting MIDI files in iTunes? 
    When I try to open a MIDI file in Quicktime 10.2, it also does not play MIDI files. I do get a message that Quicktime 7 is required to play midi files.
    I sure hope this is changed in future updates of  iTiunes and Quicktime.
    Tom R.

    I don't think this is the complete picture...  I have tried importing midi files into iTunes 10.7 on three different computers, and it worked on one, not the other two.  The differentiating factor? Seems to be the operating system:  it worked on the one with Snow Leopard but not on the ones with Mountain Lion.  I don't have a computer with Lion to test on, unfortunately.  This might be an actual bug, or temporary omission, from the build for Mountain Lion.  Worth filing a bug report, anyway - since it's free and the more people report it the higher priority we might hope it gets?  http://bugreport.apple.com/
