Re: Opening instruments with appletviewer vs. browser
This is just a test program to demonstrate the error. When I run the
program below it doesn't throw an exception, it runs through the first
part and then tells me that there are 0 instruments available.

try doing something with your exception rather than throwing it away.

A Java program that I've written that makes sounds works fine when I
test it with appletviewer, but not when I use a browser (Firefox or
Explorer). The difference is that when I call the MidiSystem
synthesizer with getAvailableInstruments, I get a bunch of instruments
(411) when running it with appletviewer, but none when using a browser.
Why the difference? A short program that demonstrates my problem is
below.
