Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

James, there are 2 other things that I can think of: Local Control and Reset.

If your control box has a Local Control option, make sure that it is on. If you can find a Reset option, I recommend doing a reset of the settings.

Regards,
PianoBench

The XG sounds come from a DB51XG card (presumably a variation on the DB50XG soundblaster expansion) so sound is getting from there through to the headphone sockets at least.

If I adjust the settings to play the XG sounds I can hear them fine. MIDI output from the keys appears to be working, and I can play / record and the keys all move etc.
