X2 file: Session drummer no sound

Hi all,
 
This is a new-to-me problem that I've never had to troubleshoot before.  I've imported a file from X1 into X2 - and I had a full Session Drummer track that worked in X1 but now has no sound.
 
So I assume its a signal flow issue, but I don't know where to start looking.

Bob,
 
Yeah I was wrong I misspoke, it's probably a midi issue.    I've checked Session Drummer in the new file that I imported.  No sound when I load any kit, or tap on the pads with my mouse.
 
I'll close the file and open a different X2 project - and SD will be fine in that one.   So I don't know what to look for.

So click on the Midi track (the one with the meters moving) and check to see if it is outputting to an instance of Session Drummer.
 
Open the Session Drummer soft synth and make sure you have a drum kit loaded. When it is working properly, you should be able to click on the images of the drums and hear the sound for that drum.

Perhaps it isn't finding the kit you had loaded in X1? Not sure... maybe relative paths are causing a glitch. If you map to a valid drum program, perhaps it will suddenly snap into place.

I think I might have an overall MIDI problem.   I imported some MIDI files of strings from Finale into this project - and they didn't play either.
 
So somehow I don't have any MIDI playback capability at all...

Yeah I have the basics.    In fact I just created a new project from scratch and Session drummer and the strings MIDI files work just fine in the new project.
 
It's just the pre-existing projects that MIDI sounds don't work in.

Ah ... Very frustrating! I didn't have that problem. It makes me wonder if installation is correct. Have you launched as administrator and registered the software?

Contacted customer support?

Maybe this might help
Phone support will be open in a couple of hours.

If you go to Windows Device Manager (lots of ways to get there, one is to hit the Windows button, then right-click on Computer, then click on Manage, and when Computer Management opens up you will see Device Manager on the left side - click on it to open Device Manager)
 
Once in Device Manager, check to see if your midi devices drivers are loaded and functional by expanding "Sound, video, and game Controllers".
 
I wonder if your Power Options may be set to allow selective turning off of idle USB devices.
 
Just a couple of thoughts there,

You can't choose a bus if it causes a bus loop. For example, if you route Bus A to Bus B, you can't output bus B to bus A. Bus A will not show up in the list.
 
You cannot output a midi track directly to a bus. It MUST go to a midi synth.
 
All audio tracks should be routable to any bus or Interface Output.
