For some reason, my MMF2 won't play MIDI files. I've tried several different files and none of them will work. The MIDI files won't play even if I try to play them through an extension.
WAV, MP3 and OGG all still work, so it's not like MMF2 has disabled all sounds, or something.
You might have your MIDI track muted. Windows Media Player likes to do this. Go into the sound mixer and make sure all the tracks are checked in the optionsmabob menu. Then make sure the MIDI one isn't muted and is turned all the way up.
I always have trouble in MMF2 when I load a TGF1 game with midi files in it. As soon as I take the midi out to replace them by something nicer I get massive slowdowns, which can only be solved by loading and stopping a midi at the start of the level.
i used to have strange things happen with my SWsynth in windows actually.... back when i used to use MIDIs it'd randomly change the volume all the time. i'm so glad i dont have to deal this all that anymore!
Midi is so 10 years ago now. Why don't you just take your midis and use samples to make good sounding stuff with them? Export to mp3 and no more loading problems for Kazuma.

Check your mixer.
Windows Media Player takes control of the MIDI track and plays it through its own mixer, I think. Whatever the reason, that's the cause.
