For complex reasons, I need to make my analog input available for something else. So, I'm attempting to move the signal from my Yamaha MU80 into a different input.
According to the 40-pin header on the sound card, pin #27 is a MIDI Input. So, I (1) made a MIDI to 3.5 mm headphone cable, (2) connected that to a female 3.5 mm headphone jack, and (3) connected the pins on the headphone jack to the correct pins on the sound card header.
I know that the cable works because I am currently using the cable (and female headphone jack) to connect to the MIDI Out on the sound card header. I also know that the 5V and Ground connections on the sound card header are connected correctly, because I'm using those for the same MIDI Out connection.
I have looked at the Volume Play Control (the yellow speaker in the system tray) and I have looked at all of the input/output volumes. I don't see a MIDI In.
I opened up AudioHQ (under Control Panel) and looked at all of the options under Mixer.
I opened up Multimedia (under Control Panel) and looked at all of the options (the MIDI tab is where I tell windows to send my MIDI signal out to my Yamaha MU80). Under the Devices tab there is an item called MIDI Sequencer Device (under Media Control Devices). I haven't adjusted setting there. I don't what things do there.
Under Device Manager, I have no warnings or incorrectly configured hardware.
If anyone has any suggestion, please let me know. Thanks.
