Cannot Detect External Audio Synthesizers as Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)

External Audio Synthesizers are not detected as Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) output devices due to a conflict between Intel® Smart Sound and the audio driver of the laptop unit.

• Install only the drivers provided by the laptop manufacturer to get better support in the system since the audio driver comes as part of the driver for Intel® Graphics controller.
• In case the manufacturer driver did not resolve the issue, may try installing the generic drivers from Intel® Graphics Drivers and Software.
• Reinstall the Intel Graphics Driver and Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) driver.
• Contact the OEM since Intel ISST is only provided by the computer manufacturer.
