Re: Midi music in emails

Are you using Outlook Express?

You probably are attaching the MIDI, but just can't hear it.

The volume setting ranges from -10000 to 0 with -10000 being off and 0 being
full volume.

Before you insert the background sound you need to make sure your volume
setting is correct. Double click the speaker icon by the clock. For a MIDI
file it will use the volume control labeled "SW Synth" or something similar.
It may vary depending on your sound card.

You can check your settings by clicking the Source Tab at the bottom of the
Compose Message window and looking for this tag <BGSOUND balance=0
src="filepath to soundfile"> and setting the volume to zero (0).

If not already there, View | Source Edit - Check it.

Re: Midi music in emails

Then read my reply. Your sound settings are wrong. Double click on the
speaker icon and raise the volume for MIDIs.

Re: Midi music in emails

YW. If you get an incoming e-mail with low sound settings, that can change
your settings anytime you play it.
