Problem with Midi output

I just got Cakewalk today, and cannot seem to get over this one problem. When I get to the dialog where I select the device for Midi output, I select the one device available, Microsoft Midi Mapper. When I select it and hit OK, it takes me right back to the message I get when starting up, telling me that I need to select an output device, regardless if I selected one or not. My midi device works fine with any other program.
I am using a Sound Blaster PCI.

I seem to recall having that error message witn CWHS2002xl. My fix was to go to Optons|Audio|Advance and click on the box stating to use MME. I can't remember the whole phrase, but it was the first box about mid-center.

yep

Hello, I had the same problem and tried the MME thing after reading your posts (thanks :) ). (For reference, the option reads: "Always Use MME Interface, Even When WDM Drivers Are Available.")

When I select this option, midi works just great (in particular, I'm working with the Session Drummer). The problem is that selecting this option somehow knocks out my audio recording ability! :cry: So I went back and deselected the option, and my audio was 'fixed', but now my midi doesn't work! :shock:

What to do, what to do?!!!!

Any help is most appreciated!

In addition to changing the advanced audio setting to MME, you need to then exit the program, allowing Sonar/Home Studio to analyze the soundboard or onboard chip... the next time you start Sonar/Home Studio you will be prompted to select your midi output... at which point my system showed two choices... MS midi mapper and MS Wavetable Synth... low and behold... I now have midi output! :D

Works Great!

You're a life saver, everytime when i change my sound card i face that problem and forgotten how i solved it previously. Actually its so simple, just follow yr instructions, go to options, choose, audio, then advanced, checked on "use MME" and "share drivers with other programs", Sonar will start profiling the sound chip.

May you live for another 100 yrs

Happy New Year
