It seems that GM.DLS is an older driver and is associated with the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.

I'd try this and see if it helps...

1. Start BIAB

2. Go into the MIDI driver setup

3. Have a look at the image below. Where I have MS GS Wavetable synth selected (#2 on the image), set this to "No MIDI sound output" (it's the top option).

This may well stop BIAB looking for GM.DLS. Having "No MIDI sound output" is fine if a soft synth such as Coyote WT is used.

4. Now make sure that #3, #4, #5 on the image are set exactly as I have them. Doing this will route your MIDI sounds through Coyote WT.

Thanks again for the suggestion. I followed it through and the 32 version of the biab works now. I can start it up and generate tracks. The 64 version can start as well but it still gives me the gm.dls not found error and the program appears to be wonky and unstable. Some menue or description box not showing up etc.

well at least the 32 version is working so i can finish a project but the gm.dls mystery still remain unresolved.

Thanks
Shawn
