Try googling for a USB MIDI adapter. I found one website that had USB 1.0 (i think) interfaces for MIDI that worked with win98SE for $70, and a win98 version for $80. They just plugged right into the computer and ran off of windows software, according to the site. |

That might be only that problem, for Windows and/or applications "fight" for the resources. If there are two soundcards found, you might get no sound at all in the worst case. The only existing solution I know are special programs assigigning more than one audio source.
But I'm not sure about that. I only know that it is easier to make a onboard sound (what you don't have - at least you didn't put that in here) working with an own PCI sound card, if the mainboard does not disable that one automatically, if it found another one.
But since it is the MIDI port you need - that might not be a proper solution for your problem.
I don't talk about parallel streams with ONE card - you know, you open up a game and play Winamp in the background. If it is only the MIDI port, maybe there are certain models only provide that port (don't know) - or simply get a better overall soundcard than your current one, if yours is not already that, together with a MIDI port. |

Ok.....just got an MIDI controller keyboard, went to set it up, and realised that my pc's soundcard does not have a gameport socket. Does anyone know where I could find a PCI card with a gameport/midi socket that does not conflict with my current soundcard? |
