Possibly nothing.

It is possible that the Sound Player for your Midi is actually using the

wave portion of the Sound card. Unfortunately most sound cards do not

allow playback of two separate wave playback sources at one time. On

Windows both Beatnik and Quicktime play Midis through the wave portion

of the sound card. Open your sound audio console and see when the sound

is playing to make sure.

To solve the problem on your computer you can install a Midi sound

player that uses the Midi portion of the sound card. For visitors to

your site you must keep this in mind while designing you audio setup.
