What's wrong here (DX8 midi)?

[alkatran]

I get nothing but silence when this is done

assume the subs are called top to bottom

Option Explicit
 
Dim DX As DirectX8
Dim DSound As DirectSound8
Dim DSAudio  As IBasicAudio 'Basic Audio Objectt
Dim DSEvent As IMediaEvent 'MediaEvent Object
Dim DSControl As IMediaControl 'MediaControl Object
Dim DSPosition As IMediaPosition 'MediaPosition Object
 
Public DisableSound As Boolean
Public DisableMusic As Boolean
 
Public Sub InitDirectX8(ByVal Handle As Long)
    Set DX = New DirectX8
    
    Set DSound = DX.DirectSoundCreate("")
    DSound.SetCooperativeLevel Handle, DSSCL_NORMAL
End Sub
Public Sub LoadMusic(FileName As String)
'On Error GoTo ErrorHandle:
    
    Set DSControl = New FilgraphManager
    
    FileName = App.Path & "\tilesets\" & FileName
    Select Case Right(FileName, 4)
    Case ".wav", ".mid", ".mp3"
    Case Else
        If Dir(FileName & ".mid") <> "" Then
            FileName = FileName + ".mid"
        ElseIf Dir(FileName & ".mp3") <> "" Then
            FileName = FileName + ".mp3"
        End If
    End Select
    
    Call DSControl.RenderFile(FileName) 'yes, a valid midi file
    Set DSAudio = DSControl
    DSAudio.Volume = 0
    DSAudio.Balance = 0
    
    Set DSEvent = DSControl
    Set DSPosition = DSControl
    If ObjPtr(DSPosition) Then DSPosition.Rate = 1#
    DSPosition.CurrentPosition = 0
end sub
Public Sub PlayMusic()
'On Error Resume Next
    If DisableMusic = False Then
        DSControl.Stop
        DSPosition.CurrentPosition = 0
        DSPosition.Rate = 1
        DSAudio.Volume = 0
        DSAudio.Balance = 0
        DSControl.Run
    End If
End Sub

I never use DirectMusic cause I believe DirectShow is better. Runs MP3's, MPEG's, and AVI'S. Makes my games more interesting. But I hope this helps you.
