Playback with Sibelius 5

[tatas]

Hello, I've recently installed the M Audio Audiophile 2496 card. It works better than perfect, I can transfer from vinyl, play music from the PC and etc..

The problem I'm having though is in Sibelius 5. When I select the 2496 Sound card (Delta AP MIDI) as my playback device, I don't hear any music? If I choose the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth (default sound card), I can hear all of my scores playback no problem??

I'm sure it's something very simple that I'm overlooking but any advice would be appreciated.

The Audiophile 24/96 does not have an on-board synthesizer/sound canvas; when you select the Delta AP MIDI, Sibelius is sending the MIDI data to the Delta's MIDI output port which can be used to connect to an external synthesizer or sound module.
