SYNC dont want to work. Ableton as master mpc as slave?

I do follow the instructions given on akaipro site for syncing mpc with different DAWs and i still cant get the mpc to start playing when i hit play in Ableton.


i have midi cable from soundcard midi OUT to mpc midi IN

in ableton settings Output ;sync is ON

in mpc sync in 1 (slave)
midi clock
mmc:on


when i hit play in ableton Nothing happends with the mpc at all.

The other way around i can get mpc to work as master with no problems.

Anybody know why this is not working for me?!
thanks

ok in some mysterious way it just started working today, although i made the exact same steps as before


gawd i cant wait for the apocalypse combined with global emp wave that destroys all technology
so we have to just work the fields to survive like in the good ol days.
