Hi All

Has anybody managed to get rtpMidi and Bitfocus Comapnion generic (on Win 11) talking together ok ?

ive got a Behringer Xtouch surface configure to rtpMidi

 ![Xtouch rtpMidi](https://discourse.checkcheckonetwo.com/uploads/default/original/1X/250eec1dca558c8d13aa5153113da12aedbadecd.jpeg)

Why are you using rtpMIDI?  
If you want to connect companion to the X-touch just plug the usb cable from the x-touch to the computer running companion. Not sure if you need a Behringer usb to midi driver, but you might.

Because of the enviroment Im using this in the XTouch is remote from companion so using rtpMidi to bring Midi back via ethernet

It turned out to be an issue with Win11 it worked first time in Win10 - anybody seen a fix for this ?

Oh good!

I don’t have Win11 on my Windows machine so, sorry, can’t help there.
