Hi Yanli, I found out that my problem is actually the VirtualBox I run my XP in. DirectSound doesn't work in a VirtualBox environment. A friend of mine tested my binaries on his native XP installation, and they worked for him. However, I don't work with MIDI input; our testing is basically done by starting the fluidsynth command line tool, sending some noteons and playing a midi file.
As I'm in contact with another developer who uses FluidSynth and has trouble to compile it, I decided to make the binaries I compiled and tested publicly available. If that's any help for you, you can download them here: http://fluidsynth.flyx.org/ Cheers, Felix On 24.11.2010, at 15:52, yanli lei wrote: > Hi Felix, > > It work with MIDI file playback within the fluidsynth, I'm expected it to > capture MIDI input. > > which command did you pass to load the audio driver?
