Default No sound during playback

I'm new to Pro Tools 11, and Pro Tools in general. I loaded a basic "blues" template, and hit play to hear the MIDI drum track, but no sound comes out. I just have my headphones plugged in to the headphone jack. I have ASIO4ALL v.2 as my playback engine, am I missing an essential component? Is ASIO4ALL the audio interface?

I use Windows 7 (I would give the Sandra report, but it always crashes), Six-Core Processor 3.5 Ghz, ASIO4ALL v.2, 8GB RAM.

Have you created an Instrument track and inserted a drum plugin on it, and also selected the correct I/O on that track?

Have you assigned the output of the Midi track to the drum plugin or is the Midi actually on the Instrument track?

If you're having crashes with getting a Sandra report you have bigger problems than figuring out how PT works. As far as working with PT I'd suggest getting a good book or two. Most of the stuff that's out there for PT10 will suffice for getting you started with PT11. PT is NOT plug and play software and has a rather steep learning curve. It's not Guitar Hero or Garageband.

Also mandatory is optimizing your computer for PT. Searching here on the DUC or Google is your friend for that and other things.

Got it to sound, thanks a lot!. It was just that some of the plug-ins hadn't been loaded. Thanks for your help!
