no midi, audio has pops and clicks

Hi all,

When I go to MIDI devices, the only output device listed is the Microsoft MIDI mapper. No GS Wavetable Synth, like I would expect. THis is on my sister's laptop. How does one check to see if there is a softsynth within the soundcard on her laptop, and if so, why isn't MC seeing it? They laptop plays MIDI files through Windows Media Player, and it plays Finale files, so I assume there is some sort of GM soft synth on there; MC isn't seeing it.

When we insert the Edirol DXiSynth, there are so many pops and clicks it's not worth it.

If she was to buy an audio interface, what would you expect?

All I know is that she has a Dell laptop.

Thanks!
Shannon

    Shannon - I assume you're using some version of MC?

    change to MME driver mode
    close MC
    restart MC
    run the wave profiler

    go to MIDI DEVICES and the MS GS Wavetable Synth should be available

    the pops and clicks should be gone, if not, use the latency slider - move it to the save zone.
