Hi, all
While I was trying to teach Scratch to my son, I found that "Play note " and "Play drum" block does not make any sound on my dell pc. But, I found that "play sound " block is working.
Is there anyone experiencing this problem?
Any solutions?
BTW, I am using Scratch 1.1 on the Dell PC (Windows XP).
Thanks in advance.

One place to start would be to check that your MIDI output device is working properly, since both the notes and drums use the MIDI synth in your computer. To test, just try to play any .mid file. (Do a search and download one from the web if you don't have one handy.) If it doesn't play, but a regular .wav file does, that's probably your problem.
You can set up the MIDI output via the Control Pannel. Go to "Sounds and Audio Devices", click on the "Audio" tab and select a MIDI playback device. You should at least have the default "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth" option if you have Media Player installed.
