MIDI OUT transmitter problem

[Andrew Davison]

Dear All,

I'm trying to play a MIDI file using Java 1.6.0-beta2 (with javax.sound.midi.*), and getting a "MIDI OUT transmitter not available" error.

A quick search shows quite a few people having this problem in J2SE 1.5, often with code that works unchanged in J2SE 1.4.

Anyone know a fix for this problem?

BTW, I do have a soundbank installed, and no unusual sound applications playing at the same time.

important bug to me.
