i've written down some info so you guy's might be able to dissect this problem

before factory reset i'm pretty sure i was using the (Audio noise Reduction)
under the Vst/Dx synth's plugin's tab...

not sure if this makes a difference since i'm playing Midi and not Audio...but i'm throwing it out there....when i try to use this feature...it tells me cyberlink is unable to connect....and won't let me use it...

under my midi/Audio Drivers setup window...this is what's picked in the little display windows

1. input driver info = no midi / sound input

2. midi output driver info = Microsoft GS wavetable synth

3. Synthesizer / soundcard = GS wavetable

4. Get patch/ Drum kit info = use VST /DXI Synth = Box is checked....
Route midi thru to midi driver = Box is checked

5. VST / DXI synth Settings = ( coyote WT) it gives me no other choice but coyote to choose here

6. GM2 support 128 Extra patches....on the window on this one i can choose 3 options
1. General midi 2 ( GM2) Support GM Patches only....
2. General midi 2 (GM2) Support
3. Roland GS older module SC55/ SC88

I have tried all 3 of number six paragraph with no change in hissss in playback of midi's


7. Driver latency = 104 ms

8. Audio settings = MME
