XP USB Midi driver problem

MCG · 12-18-2005, 07:02 AM

Hello !

I have M-Audio Keystation 49e USB keyboard. It is driver free, and
when I connected it first time, my PC woke up with the KB's name.
I can see it in control panel as USB composite device and music device.
My sound card (AC97) has correct drivers.
Still, all music SW's (Reason, Live 4 and Fruitty) says that "no midi input".
The keyboard is OK as it is tested with identical PC (Fujitsu-Siemens, Scaleo)
and it works fine.
Seems like something is wrong with my OP USB-Midi section, just can't find what.
Any ideas ????

Thanks,

Hi MCG,

I own a MIDI device company and a few of my customers have been having the same problem. So far the connecting thread has been that everyone with this problem has a intel dual core system.

Its either that or you have driver conflicts which I have seen before. you might want to try this:

1. unplug any other USB audio devices, and plug your usb midi device in
2. find c:\windows\inf\wdma_usb.inf from a different PC where your deive does work and copy it to the desktop of PC with the problem.
3. go to c:\windows\inf and delete wdma_usb.PNF
4. go into device manager and right click on "USB audio device" and
select properties
5. select the "details" tab
6. select "update driver"
7. selct no for the first dialog, then next
8. select "install from a specific location", then next
9.select "dont search I will choose the drivers" next
10 select "have disk" button
11.select browse and select your desktop or wherever you saved the
wdma_usb.inf file
12.then open, then ok, then next it should install the drivers from here
13.once complete look in "sound and audio devices" in the control panal,
and see if the "USB Audio Device" is an option in the midi devices like
i mentioned in the earlier email
15.if not then unplug and plug it in again, now chech again

this works sometimes for people with your issue

Hi there,
thanks for your explanation. I followed all the steps you've indicated but unsuccessfully.
I made the horrible mistake of installing the drivers supplied with the Keystation 49e. Result is I've never been able to use it on this machine.
I've tried uninstalling the drivers from the uninstall program as well as manually clean up the registry entries i could find for M-audio, but still no luck.

Have you got any further suggestions? Seriously is driving me insane. I've tried on another machine, and it worked fine, so the keystation is actually working properly.

THanks a again for your help.

Cheers

Nico
