MIDI Controls Under Windows 11

[Frank Kelley]

Is there any reason why an EZGUI program using multiple MIDI controls would fail to play audio under Windows 11? A friend has one of my programs that plays audio fine under Windows 10, but the same program on his new Acer Windows 11 laptop responds with silence. Other Windows programs do play audio fine in the laptop. I initially thought it might be a driver issue, but that now seems unlikely.

Any clue as to why this would be happening? Thanks in advance.

MIDI works under Windows 11.

That said, Windows 11 may not come with the audio/video codec you may use in the audio/video file. There are many codecs available today and an installation of Windows may not come with a specific codec you require.

I would do some research into what audio/video codecs Windows 11 normally ships with and make sure your audio file uses a more up to date codec.

So the issue is most likely not with MIDI (MCI control) but with codecs.
