I had been trying to open an mp3 file but couldn't get it to convert
in the software so I tried a few others and for some reason they were
able to convert and play but only through my computer speakers.
I did however open a MIDI file of piano music and I could see the
piano keys in the software being played but no sound came out of the
computer and of course nothing came out of the Disklavier. So I know
the software is reading the MIDI file that I opened.
I presume that you realize that mp3 files will not play on your Disklavier since they are audio files, not MIDI files.
It appears as though PowerTracks is playing the MIDI file. You can verify this by changing the MIDI Output settings to choice that matches the tone generator in your sound card. Then, you should hear the MIDI file played through your computer speakers.
Regardless, I still recommend the test with your web browser to narrow down the problem to either PowerTrack or your cabling.
