Does SONAR LE work on a Dell XPS 8100 with onboard Realtek sound card?

I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with 8GB RAM, Win 7 64 bit OS,  and onboard Realtek SoundCard.
I also have a Samson C01U that I intend to use, primarily for voice recording.
 
When I first start SONAR LE, I get the screen telling me no midi outputs are selected, but when I go to slect the outputs, it only
shows Microsft MIDI mapper( I was hoping to see Realtek in the options). Selecting MIDI mapper does not do anything.
 
How do I proceed? Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for any input

    Welcome to the forum.
    You won't see RealTek in the MIDI output selection box.
    Go to Options>Audio at the top, or press the P (preferences) button on your computer keybard (which one you do depends on which version of LE you have).
    Select MME as the Driver Mode. You may have to close and re-open SONAR.
    Once the MME Driver Mode is selected, you can use the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synthesizer to hear MIDI.

    And there's a sticky on this forum about using those USB mics. They're not that easy. And note: The mic is seen by your computer as soundcard, so the may be problems using it together with the Realtek.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
