Title: why isn't the driver listed anywhere??? XP
Post by matteosistisette on Jan 16^th, 2008, 5:37am

Hi,

There are a lot of uninstall/update/other instructions in the help and forum that start like this:

===
In Windows XP, go to the control panel.

1) Launch the "Sounds and Audio Devices" applet.
2) Choose the [Hardware] TAB, scroll down to "MIDI Yoke NT Driver"
3) Click [Properties]
...etcetera
===

(note it mentions specifically windows XP)

However, I have installed MidiYoke on a lot of machines with windows xp, always uning the .msi installer, and in NONE of them I can find any "Midi Yoke" driver listed either in the hardware tab of the Sound and Audio, nor in the Hardware Manager in the Control Panel / System.

MidiYoke does work fine. It's just I can't find the driver listed anywhere, and it is strange since everibody say it should be found there.
The annoying thing is that for example I can't check the version. Fortunately I do can at least uninstall, by using the Install/Remove Applications in Control Panel.

Thanks
matteo

Using the .msi installer, MIDI Yoke is listed under the 'Legacy Audio Devices' section.

With the latest version of MIDI Yoke, it's settings dialog is listed in Windows Control Panel, and you can control some settings there.
