can't hear the midi and wav at same time ?

[wengang]

Hey all.

I just wonder what possible reasons there are that the pc in my office is not playing the midi music and the wav files at the same time in a game i wrote.

This program works just fine at home and also in a friend's computer. Both PC's have SoundBlaster cards.

If it makes a difference, the Midi is DirectMusic while the wav's use the usual sndPlaySound Function and winmm.dll


Any ideas or suggestions?

I have never tried this, but remember from one of my tutorial CD's that VB won't play 2 sounds together, it will just wait for 1 to stop then another to kick in.

Until someone else posts & tells me this cd is wrong (which I fully expect), this could be the reason.

Well, the only question is that this program works flawlessly on my pc at home. it is just the office pc

your office PC could not have the audio hardware required to mix the files

right. it's possible.

but the sound card here is SB Vibra PCI 128

The one at home is SB Live


I just think that 2 soundblaster cards should both have this ability.
