# ❓ The plugin isn’t affecting the sound.

I Wish needs both **audio and MIDI** to work. Make sure your MIDI is connected to the plugin and that you are **playing notes at the same time the audio is flowing** through the plugin.
Please read the [Manual](https://polyversemusic.com/downloads/manuals/I%20Wish%20Manual.pdf) on how to connect the plugin inside your DAW. Our [Video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDH1m-ck6cA) may be helpful to you, as well.
