Hi, Ray -

This may or may not work.

Here's one thing to try (based on my experience with my laptop). When I'm using MME, my laptop's soundcard switches nicely between headphones and speakers. However, when I use ASIO4ALL, it treats the two as two separate sound devices. So, I have to go into ASIO4ALL and tell it to use the other one. Since the headphone port is listed first (and it's called "Dock", so it took me awhile to figure it out), and the speakers (called "Line Out", even though my computer has no "line-out") is listed second, it selects the headphones by default.

So, I have to go into the ASIO4ALL control panel and choose "line-out" to listen through the speakers.

I don't know if this is your problem, but it's what happened to me when I appeared to get no sound from ASIO4ALL.

Another thing I would also try is to download MIDIYoke NT and install it. It installs virtual MIDI ports. I can then select MIDIYoke 1 as my MIDI port and there will be not conflict between the Microsoft synth and the Coyote WT (which uses the same sound file).

Here are some screen shots for my system; obviously you would have to substitute corresponding settings from your system.
