Hello!
I'm an (italian, so my english is not very good..) debian woody user, I'm interested
in developing an "ear trainer" using MIDI under ALSA but i'm unsuccessfully trying to
get my SBLive 1024 midi synth to work.
I installed ALSA-0.9.2 and ALSA-0.9.6 on my linux-2.4.18, 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 system
following instructions on the alsa page:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Live&chip=EMU10K1&module=emu10k1.
After loading modules: snd-emu10k1, snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss i can
listen to CDs, play music etc. but not use the MIDI synth device.
I then followed instructions on
http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/linuxfocus/English/September2002/article259.shtml#259lfindex4
about midi on SBLive.
I installed sfxload, loaded soundfonts from the SBLive CD without errors, but the
command `pmidi -l` returns me nothing, and `playmidi` tells me:
jazz:~$ playmidi ~brix/test.mid
Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I. Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
For details please see the file COPYING.
playmidi: No playback device found.
Doing a `strace pmidi -l` gives me, in particular, this:
open("/dev/snd/seq", O_RDWR) = 3
and then a bunch off
ioctl(3, 0xc0dc5310, 0xbffff91c) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for
device)
It seems the driver doesn't accept the ioctl().
However, the midi editor "rosegarden" works pretty fine.
Here is the list of the modules i loaded, obtained with `lsmod | grep snd`:
snd-seq-midi 3328 0 (autoclean)

soundcore 3492 10 [snd]
And here is my card in `lspci` :
00:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)
Subsystem: Creative Labs: Unknown device 8061
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
I/O ports at b400 [size=32]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
00:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! (rev 07)
Subsystem: Creative Labs Gameport Joystick
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
I/O ports at b000 [size=8]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
Every person i talk with is telling me that this card works fine... i hope you can
help me!
Thanks in advance,
Marco
