i can't make Cakewalk work! I tried to play MIDI files but there was no sound. I checked the volume and found the SW Synth was not mute yet. I don't know how to do. My OS is Win 2000.
no sound
Possibly don't have the codec installed ?, just search for Cole2k Media Codec Pack in google this should solve your problem.
if not then i'm not sure what it could be. I hope i was of help to you. 
try saving the .mid file and playing it in media player, if it plays it would mean that cakewalk is set up maybe to play to a different output like a midi keyboard as opposed to the internal sound system.
no. i does no use
should i install the sound driver?
should i install the sound driver?
Yes try installing the sound driver if it wasn't the codec.... That may rectify your problem if not then i would say your soundcard is faulty.
Do you have any sound at all from anything? (including windows startup). If so then your sound card is fine. Check the default recording and playback devices in windows and also in cakewalk.
thank you everyone.
the problem has been solved after i installed Windows XP. i think that the problem must be the sound driver.
