I have a compaq Presario 5441 which i am using to run Cubase V2.81. I am using the 15 pin game port on the back of the computer to control my MIDI in and out.

I can record information into the PC (The In and Out lights flash on the screen panel) but no sound or signal is sent back to my sound module. I have also tried Cakewalk pro audio V7.0 and this has the same problem BUT if I change my output device to the internal soundcard then it plays back what I have played.

This is no good for me as the soundcard sounds terrible. I want the program to drive my soundmodule

I am using the ESS MPU-401(E000) MIDI device and a ESFM synthesis (D800) sound card.

It just seems like there is no signal coming out of my computer (MIDI) I have phoned the compaq helpline but I knew more than they did.

I have checked my equipment and all is fine.
I have also changed the lead (Games port to MIDI) to make sure that wasnt the problem.

PLEASE HELP.
