Midi Doesn’t Sound Right In Sony Laptop?
I just bought a new laptop Sony VGN-SZ55GN but can’t play all my midi correctly.
SZ55GN Spec:
Windows Vista and SigmaTeL High Definition Audio CODEC
The strange things is when I played midi with Winamp Player the midi will played only the “bass” part like drum and percussion
If I played midi with Windows Media Player the midi will played only the “non bass” part other than drum and percussion
(as you guess, I can play the midi perfectly if I opened 2 of them together, but it troublesome ^^;)
I have tried another software as well, software to convert midi to sheet music like MidiNotate and Midiillustrator which usually plays all perfectly but now I only can hear the “bass” part.
I have tried to use earphone and it’s useless, same as above.
Am I having:
a. Plugins problem?
b. Driver problem?
c. Compatibility problem? (with Vista?)
d. Damaged SoundCard? (but mp3 works perfectly)
e. Software problem?
f. Broken Midi?
g. Hearing Impairment problem? definitely no!
Lightwieght Video Players For Pc?
I have an older PC (celeron 1.3ghz, 12bmb RAM) that I have hooked up to my TV to play videos that I have downloaded. It runs at a low resolution, and I don’t use the keyboard, only the mouse.
I had been using Winamp 2 to play avi, mpg, wmv, and mpeg. Windows Media Player was set up to play mkvs. I started having conflicts with codecs and video splitters, so I ditched Winamp and WMP in favor of VLC, which can play everything.
The problem is that VLC’s interface is really hard to work with on this PC. Winamp’s was easy, but I had to have all kinds of additional codecs and plugins, and had to tinker with ffdshow when watching anything that had subtitles or multiple audio tracks.
What I’m looking for is a video player that will play everything vlc plays without installing any codecs or addons, doesn’t use a lot of resources, doesn’t require getting into ffdshow, with a simple interface, and the ability to add options to the windows right-click menu when I select a video file.
Aimp Multimedia Player 2009?
I am a big multimedia fan. I have tried all the hardware and software players, mp4s, mp3s, etc. I am tired of the same old at this point. I looking for a program that allows me to play all video and audio file formats even if I have to use codecs or plugins. So far I am down to Windows Media Player, Winamp and Aimp. They all have amazing skins and WMP has some supercool 3D skins. Winamp is cool because it is easy to skin and takes a simple image and uses it with a skin program and voila, a skin is created just like that. I wish Aimp was that easy. I know AIMP has a skin program too but it just isn’t working for me. I wouldn’t mind a skin program like Winamp’s. Maybe there is something I am missing with the Aimp skin program when it comes to making skins. Maybe I am not giving it a hard enough try. Anyone who can give me a boost to learn to use it. Please give advice, one and all.

Cnn Not Recognizing Windows Media Player In Firefox?
Hello, for some reason when I go to CNN.com, and click on a video, it won’t recognize that I have Windows Media Player installed. I can play videos that require WMP on other sites, but for some reason I have trouble with CNN.

Both of these work fine in IE7
I have WMP 11, (I also have Quicktime alternative & RealAlternative not sure if that is what is causing the problem), and codecs in the about:plugins are all there.

Please !! Can Anyone Tell Me Why Limewire Says “error Downloading Codec? How Do I Download Codecs?
Is there a site I can check out that will allow me to download codecs for avi movies. All that plays is the audio and the stupid message comes up “error downloading codecs, or codec.” I have several avi/xvid movies that have downloaded successfully, but always give me the error codec message. I would really appreciate any advice. Do I have to download a different codec for every avi movie or what? …..so confused! I’ve already checked for autimatic updates for windows media player 10, which says is the latest version and no updates are available.
Thank you so much for any help you can give me!
Sincerely confused,
