Occasionally I send music along in an Oulook Express email and I have always
been successful whether the music be midi, wav, or mp3. All 3 formats have worked but today I cannot include a midi. I can send a wav or an mp3. The midis will play if I open them from my hard drive but I can't put them into an email. Any ideas? Stan |

The volume setting ranges from -10000 to 0 with -10000 being off and 0 being
full volume. Before you insert the background sound you need to make sure your volume setting is correct. Double click the speaker icon by the clock. For a MIDI file it will use the volume control labeled "SW Synth" or something similar. It may vary depending on your sound card. You can check your settings by clicking the Source Tab at the bottom of the Compose Message window and looking for this tag BGSOUND balance=0 src="filepath to soundfile" and setting the volume to zero (0). If not already there, View | Source Edit - Check it. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Stan" wrote in message ...

I am not too sure of what I'm doing but attached are screen shots of the
areas I think you are referring to. I don't see anything that you described in the first shot and I tried both settings shown in the bottom screen shots but neither worked.

Bruce, Solved my problem. As you can see from the attached screen shot the
Midi volume was set at the lowest (red arrow) Don't know how it got there--I didn't do it. When I changed it to the highest setting (green arrow) everything was fine. What you said about the zero setting and the 10000 setting got me thinking so I poked around and stumbled onto the solution. Thanks for your efforts. Stan "Stan" wrote in message ...

Open a new message window. Double click on the speaker by the clock. If the
slider is all the way down, when you insert the midi and check the source tab, you will see something similar to this. Note the volume is 9640. BODY bgColor=#ffffffBGSOUND balance=0 src="C:\WINDOWS\Media\town.mid" volume=-9640 Open a new message window and before you insert the background midi, double click on the speaker and move the midi slider all the way up. When you insert the midi, you should hear it fine, and clicking the source tab will reveal this difference in the volume setting. Now it is 0, which is full volume. BODY bgColor=#ffffffBGSOUND balance=0 src="C:\WINDOWS\Media\town.mid" volume=0 These settings can get changed by receiving a message with a midi that was inserted with low volume. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Stan" wrote in message ...
