Ableton Forum

Whenever i click on something it plays a piano note or some other instrument, when im making a tune it seems to be alot loader than everything else so when im listening to my song at a good volume and i change something the automatic sound that comes on almost destroys my speakers.

i think the piano icon in the top right is meant to stop it but it doesnt seem to work, ive tried re-installing ableton many times, but i was wondering if anyone knows another way i can switch it off.

Do Not Map Through Soundcard

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware Tab > (your soundcard) > Properties > Audio Devices > (your soundcard) > Properties > Check the "Do not map through this device" checkbox.

maybe but it sounds more like some MIDI getting routed to the MS wavetable synth
