Sound Check

To run Sound Check, click on the Sound Check menu item in the Piano Room main screen.

Sound Check provides an easy way to test and troubleshoot the digital audio and MIDI featur es of your computer. A

series of displays takes you through the testing process step-by-step. If, for some reason, one of the multimedia devices

on your computer is not working properly, Sound Check provides troubleshooting tips to help you get your system

up-and-running again.

Sound Check also provides setup tips for attaching an external MIDI keyboard to your computer — and a video to

show you how to make these connections. Once the MIDI cable is installed, you can use Sound Check’s MIDI Input

and MIDI Output tests to confirm that your system is operating properly.

Troubleshooting Tips

Fortunately, the situations that cause the most multimedia problems are among the easiest to fix. Start your

troubleshooting journey with the general suggestions below. If you still have problems, look up the specific symptoms

you’re experiencing.

Throughout the troubleshooting process, don’t forget another valuable resource — the hardware manuals that came

with your sound card or other peripherals.

Check your Sound Card and Connections

First, confirm that your sound card is connected to a working output device such as headphones, speakers or an

amplifier with speakers. If you are using speakers, make certain that they:

• Are plugged into the correct port on your sound card.

• Are turned on and have the volume set to an adequate level.

• Have their own source of power. Most sound cards can supply enough power for headphones, but not for

external speakers. Depending on the type, your speakers will need to be plugged into a wall outlet or an amplifier,

or will be powered by batteries.
