Problem with an USB MIDI keyboard

Hi Travelmate,

I have the same problem with my Acer Aspire 5672 WLMi - Only in my case
it's a Novation ReMOTE25 SL.

This issue has to do with the Windows class compliant MIDI USB driver -
There's something about the Acer's audio system that seems to interfere
with this driver. All my other USB keyboards with custom drivers by
their manufacturers work fine on the Acer, while my other
class-compliant MIDI drivered controller keyboard (Studiologic VMK-88+)
has the same issue.

In my searches for a solution I have come across others who weren't
Acer owners having the same trouble - It seems to be sound card
related. Incidentally, my wife owns the Athlon 64 Acer notebook and it
doesn't have this issue (it also has a different sound system too).

I'll post here if I can figure this one out. It's a puzzler for sure.

Cheers,

Tony
