Playing back XG Midifiles on dual core?

[FatRakoon]

Hopefully a simple one this, but Im lost.

I have 2 options for playing back my MidiFiels on the PCs.

1 - Turtle Beach Santa Cruz with a DB50XG SoundCard

2 - The Yamaha SY-XG50 Software synth.

Both are nice.

Now, in my main PC, I am using an XFI so obviously I am using the TBSC in another PC, but this one, since going dual core, has been unable to playback Midifiles using the SYXG without it losing notes... Almost half the notes in fact.

Anyone know why this is?

It does the very same thing on all my dual core PCs, no matter what SoundCard I use?

I have tried looking for a patch, but cant find one anywhere?

Anyone know somehting I dont?

TA!

Oh heck, fair do's!

Its not perfect, but its cured it by about 90%... At least I am now able to listen to the tracks... Like I said not perfect, but much, much better!

Thanks mate.

Never thought of that to be honest.

Ta!

Interesting???

I was just about to get back on this as it does not look like its worked as well as I had originally thought... I tried playing a little bit more complex Midi file and it was bad again!

never heard of this /usepmtimer thingy... Im looking now.

Will get back once I have rebooted.

Nope!

Still getting no luck.

It does the same with Windows' own GS Playback too!
