DSS80: Cannot Play MIDI File Over Analog Speakers (193072)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 1.0
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q193072 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to play a MIDI file through the analog speakers attached
to the sound card installed in your computer, you may hear the music
playback through the Digital Sound System 80 (DSS80) speakers attached to
the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the computer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:
- You configure the computer to use the DSS80 as the preferred playback
device, play a MIDI file over the DSS80 speakers, and then reconfigure
the computer to use your sound card as the preferred playback device.
- Your sound card driver does not conform to the Windows Driver Model
specification for Windows 98.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, unplug the DSS80 speakers from the USB port on
the computer.
To resolve this issue, contact your sound card manufacturer to inquire
if an updated driver is available for your sound card that conforms to the
Windows Driver Model specification for Windows 98.
MORE INFORMATION
To determine if you are playing digital audio over the USB port, use the
Digital Audio Indicator located in the lower-right corner of the Equalizer
Control window.
