(The above is a 4-year-old post)
I'm trying to follow along in EIWL and learn about sound, but I have exactly the same problem as this guy 4 years back. Unfortunately, I cannot reply to that post, no idea why. Instead I have to start a new thread.
So I just type: Sound[SoundNote[0]] I get a graphic that looks like what I want. I can click on it and its border highlights in orange. But the little Play button is completely inactive. It's just a dead image.
Yes, I can use Manipulate successfully. Yes, Speak works find. EmitSound does nothing. Is it assuming somewhere that I have MIDI drivers installed or something?
