Where can I find midi driver to replace one deleted by mistake

johnthelittle1 · 02 Oct 2011

I run my Dell XPS 17 in live performance using multiple midi devices. I had a problem of the midi ports available being filled do to doubled up instances and had to go into the registry to clean out the copied instances.
I have done that before; but, this time I accidentally deleted the primary midi driver
(midi REG_SZ wdmaud.drv)
Where can I find this driver to replace the one deleted?

Hi John.

Changing the registry key doesn't delete the actual driver. You can just manually put the registry key back. (if you remember what it was). You can also do a system restore to a point before you changed the registry.

Good luck!

I do have the kno the 'key' and believe I can manually put it back. What is the exact procedure to do that? BTW, I tried a system restore and, for some reason, something in windows is preventing it from working. So, I do think just manually putting it back will be best. Appreciate your help
