All I should say here is that it's fixed. I shouldn't go into detail telling you guys what the problem was because I'm too embarrassed. But I guess I'll have to own up.

Once I read Gary's post I started doing everything he told me to do - well... almost everything. I even went so far as to uninstall the Audigy drivers and get the new ones. Once done, same thing - no MIDI sound. I was getting ready to through my stuff out the window like you see it done in jokes that you get in your email. I took a walk to try to calm down. When I came back, Gary's post was still up on the screen. I happened to notice his question asking me if the volume slider was up on the KD2. So I figured, what the heck... even though I KNOW that's not the problem I'll check it just for fun. Um... maybe you guys can fill in the rest of the lines from here. Like I said... I'm too embarrassed to continue. So sorry for taking up the time that it took you both to answer my lame question.

In my defence... I have my KD2 hidden under my desk and so I'm not looking at it directly... I have to take it out to do that. I guess while I was playing with wires and such - ALL DAY - I must have hit the slider. But I guess that's really not a good defence after all, huh? If anything... I've learned that the next time I have a problem I have to look at the most obvious things that might be causing it first. This just proves that the cause of a problem doesn't have to be as complicated as you think it HAS to be. Another lesson learned.

OH... the mixer... I'm using it with the KD2 but I took it out while I was trying to get MIDI sound today... I just wanted to elimnate the mixer as being part of the problem. It's plugged in again.

Thanks for everything guys - very much appreciated!!!
