Sound Card
[Hardware-Win] Setup 1-Win [Setup 2] [Setup 3] [Setup 4] [Setup 5]
This is the simplest setup. MUSIC LESSONS II will use your sound card to play sounds, and you'll use the on-screen Piano and Guitar instruments in MUSIC LESSONS II to answer questions.
Most sound cards have a MIDI synthesizer chip built in. Sound cards are normally not connected directly to the speaker in your computer. Most sound cards have audio output jacks that you connect to headphones or multimedia speakers.
For this setup, the driver settings on the MIDI page of the Preferences dialog might look like this:
The Input driver is ignored; you'll only have to specify the Output driver. The names of the drivers may be different on your system. The sound card Output driver often has "FM," "OPL," or "Synth" in its name. If more than one Output driver is listed, there is no harm in trying them all; one should work.
Sounds will play through the sound card. To hear them, you'll need to connect headphones or external speakers to the sound card.
The following setups all use an external MIDI device. Before we discuss the setups, we'll look at the MIDI hardware that connects the computer to the MIDI device.
