What you need to do is to:
a.  Right-click on the My Computer icon & select (left click)
Properties
b.  Expand (click the plus sign) on Sound, video and Game Controllers
c.  Highlight TBS Malibu Wavetable Synth (MPU-401), then click the
Properties button
d.  Click the Resources Tab
e.  *Unselect* the 'Use Automatic Settings' check box
f.  Click the Down Arrow next to the 'Setting based on' window, and
pick 'Basic Configuration 0002'
g.  There should now be a (new) interrupt request setting showing up
in the 'Resource Settings' window.  Highlight it, and look to see if
there is anything in the Conflicting Device List window.  If so, try
to change the interrupt number used to one that is not in use already.
h.  Click OK on all the windows till they're gone, then reboot.  It
should now work.
Note:  It took me almost 2 weeks of spare time to find this hidden in
the Turtle Beach website, under Malibu FAQs.  I'd think they would
maybe put it in their installation docs.  But NOooooo!
Anyway, good luck!

Do you have a list of multiple items as: internal Turtle Beach and
MPU-401? Cakewalk can output to multiple devices and does so by taking
the first item on the list and assigning it as port 1. Second item on
list is port 2, and so on and so on.

Highlight MPU-401 and select "Move to top of list" This should assign
the MPU-401 as port 1. Now try playing your sequences.
