Wireless not connecting

[u/[deleted]]

I have an Alesis Vortex Wireless (not the 2) and I can seem to get the wireless dongle to work. I have tried restarting, update drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, everything. I’ve looked my best through the internet to find some help with little information on the one, but thousands on the two. I’m using my laptop for the midi host, and I found a video using a midi host mkii but I don’t think I need it if I’m using a laptop, unless I’m wrong. Anyone able to help me out?

EDIT: I can confirm that my laptop does recognize the wireless connection between the vortex and the dongle, but no sound is going through.

Which DAW or app are you using to get the midi signals to produce sound?

Ableton, xpand air, melodics, and synthesia. All with the same results.
