Answer 1

Norman-
All outawater suggested is that you lop out the code that you are using
for playing sounds and make sure that works, since that seems to be
where your problem is. The rest of your (copious amounts of) applet-
based code is just a distraction at this point.
No, I have no clues as to your possible error. Though the first step that I would take, if this were my code, would be to isolate the part
that's giving me troubles and get it as simple as possible - i.e. make
sure I can write a console app that plays the midi file I want. Then I
would build up from there - i.e. dump that into an applet with one
button that does that.
Good luck to you
