Ableton Forum

Hi all,

I have this annoying problem with Ableton and i can't find any sollution by myself..Hopefully there's someone out there who can help me.

here it goes then:

Everytime i use ableton i get these strange piano-like noises.
When i start (or shut down) ableton i hear a piano-note.
Lol, I even hear the noise when im working on a piece..but only when i click on things inside the application such as the play button or any kind of instrument (presets, vst...etc..)...

So everytime i try to make a move i get this "Diiinngggg"-sound and well, it's getting me to a slight nervous breakdown i can tell ya!

cheers..

little specifications: I run the latest ableton on my laptop, Xp home edition..i use the M-audio ozone as controller...

any chance that you're looping midi out and back in, if you accidently get a midi feedback loop you can get problems like that.

I don't really know

If it would be like that. How can i fix it? ( troughout the foru ive read that many other users have the same kind of problem with the feedback loop)

best regards..

Did you switch off all Windows sounds in the "sounds" control panel?
Do you have a virus?

are you using a mackie control?

all sounds are off in windows and i'm not using any mackiecontrol..

I tried to reinstall the programm, about 6 times now, it didn't help

Stranely i got no complains about other sequencing progs such as reason and FL Studio.

Sigh....

In the Midi preferences the Microsoft WS software synth shows up, I accidentally selected it under control surfaces and it made a plinky plonky sound. Have a look to see if that doesn't have anything routed to it?

(It is a software synth so Windows can play standard MIDI files and it appears as a MIDI device) I wonder if it should be uninstalled...

in settings everything was set to mackiecontrol, after disabling that the problems were fixed..

thnx anyway
