where exactly is the direct download link located? i'm getting a bit confused by the bombardment of links on that site.

Just a heads up... version 3.19 of the BASSMIDI Driver is now available. Added is a new slider in the BMD config utility for the DirectSound buffer, which seems to elliminate the stutters (slide to the right for a higher DS buffer).

You can't open Avast and tell it to exit?

If not, boot into Safe Mode and disable it for now.

The newest version (3.18) of the BASSMIDI Driver includes a "buffer" slider setting that just might help with this problem. Otherwise, post a message over at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ind ... opic=87639 ... Kode54 and MudLord frequently visit that message thread :)

I've downloaded the 3.1 and 3.2 versions of this and I'm having problems with the MIDI music in Doom skipping or fading out with this. Mostly when a lot of notes are being played at one time (like guitar riffs). Is there anyway to fix this?

I love the clear sound I get from this. There's one problem really: My current setup uses the TiMidity++ player to render songs to audio in sub-realtime without direct recording. Combined with the TM driver I can compose songs with as close as possible to "what you hear" results.

Then I remember there's XMPlay... And oh this is beautiful. I have a new MIDI -> Weeds GM3 -> Audio pipeline. =:)

Booting up in safe mode might work, since I doubt it would get loaded there. (And thus you should be able to delete it.)

That's really a strange problem.

You might try posting a message in this message thread over in the Hydrogen Audio forums... MudLord and Kode54 (the authors) visits there quite frequently -> http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ind ... opic=87639 .

P.S. They're currently up to version 3.17 now.

okay. after this huge delay, i finally decided to look into this again. here's what i found out:

-using the installer for the older version and prompting to uninstall the old version, doesn't work. it doesn't seem to be able to remove the version at all.
-furthermore, when uninstalling the driver from the add/delete programs function, it says that the program has already been uninstalled, and will only remove it from the list. yet, all the files are still there in the folder.
-uninstalling with BASSMIDI's uninstaller doesn't work, as it cannot locate the uninstaller's executable. it doesn't appear to exist in BASSMIDI's folder.
-i cannot install the 3.1 version of BASSMIDI because of the prompted uninstall doesn't work. however, it magically DOES work when i've just removed the software from the add/delete list. however, it has trouble with and cannot overwrite the bassmidi .dll file that lies in the folder. even trying to delete the file myself from the folder doesn't work, as it denies me access to do that.

that's all i've found out about why i can't get BASSMIDI to work.

i'll have a closer look into this issue tomorrow, and see if i can find a solution to it.

That link would be for the newest version 3.2 of the driver... which is the one that I ran into strange lockups with.

That's rather strange. The way that the new versions' installers work (from version 2.x and newer) is they will detect that an older version is already installed, and then prompt you to uninstall the older version (from the same interface as the updated versions' installer).

By chance did you install the most recent version 3.2 of the BASSMIDI Driver? If so, you might try uninstalling it and installing the older version 3.1 of the driver ( http://www.mudlord.info/bassmididrv/arc ... _Setup.exe or http://jasonwilliams400com.startlogic.c ... _Setup.exe ).

I discovered a pretty bad problem with the latest version 3.2 of the driver; and if v3.1 solves your problem, please notify the author of the driver (Mudlord) in this message thread -> http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ind ... opic=87639 , thanks! :)
