The preferences window has two display modes called Simple and All. In short Windows 8 doesnt have the Midi mapper like XP did. Choose the display mode called All, then go to Input/Codecs > Audio codecs > FluidSynth. I also followed the instructions to download some SoundFonts. sf2 file with Browse button and save the preferences with Save button. If the FluidSynth codec is not shown in VLC's preferences, you have to install it as well as sound fonts.Į.g. on Ubuntu 18.04 and derivatives it is in the vlc-plugin-fluidsynth package, while the fluid-soundfont-gs and fluid-soundfont-gm packages install some sound fonts in /usr/share/sounds/sf2.Why is the installer making my AV software go ape?! Maybe I should just stick with VirtualSynth as it can do the samething and doesn't seem to trigger my AV.Ĭurrent versions of VirtualMidiSynth cannot do the same thing on Win8/10 as CoolSoft MIDIMapper because of the completely missing default midi mapper. Regarding your AV problem: Nowadays AV solutions tend to be very paranoid and use so called 'reputation based' heuristics. This means programs are flagged as potentially malicious until many people use it. But it's not likely many people will use it since it's flagged.

It's actually a catch 22 for small developers.
