Hello I'm trying to play MIDI files with the internal synth of my soundcard using alsa 0.9.0b7, but I simply can't. I can't even use sfxload to set sounf fonts. Everything else works nicely. I'm looking for your help to set up this thing. This is my ALSA-related modules.conf (made with the debian way: editing a file in /etc/modutils and running update-modules): # Debian ALSA modules path # Do not edit this unless you understand what you're doing. path=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss I did not set the options to enable IR, digital IO and such, as you can see. I'm using sfxload from awesfx-0.4.4 from http://opensource.creative.com and I tested a alsa-patched version found in a page I can't remember, both didn't work. There's some tests I tried with sfxload: sfxload synthgm.sbk /dev/sequencer: Device not configured sfxload --device=/dev/sequencer2 synthgm.sbk /dev/sequencer: Device not configured sfxload --device=/dev/amidi0 synthgm.sbk there is no soundcard sfxload --device=/dev/amidi1 synthgm.sbk /dev/amidi1: No such device tried 1 thru 3 with the same result (to admmidi as well). When I tried: sfxload --device=/dev/midi0 synthgm.sbk the prompt did not return, and after 15 minutes I tried Ctrl-C and got my prompt back. Devices midi1 thru 3: No such device. sfxload --device=/dev/snd/midiC0D0 synthgm.sbk the same problem with the prompt. Ctrl-C returned it to me. sfxload --device=/dev/snd/midiC0D1 synthgm.sbk sfxload --device=/dev/snd/midiC0D2 synthgm.sbk both returned: there is no soundcard MusE seems to recognize a Emu10k1 Ports 0 and 1 and even seems to play, but as no sound font was loaded, I can't be sure. These are the character devices I found to seem to be related to MIDI. argo:/dev# ls -l midi* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 set 8 06:34 midi -> /dev/midi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 2 set 8 06:34 midi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 2 ago 30 10:36 midi00 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 18 ago 30 10:36 midi01 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 34 ago 30 10:36 midi02 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 50 ago 30 10:36 midi03 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 18 set 8 06:34 midi1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 34 set 8 06:34 midi2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 50 set 8 06:34 midi3 argo:/dev# ls -l sequencer* crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 1 set 8 06:34 sequencer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 set 8 06:34 sequencer2 -> /dev/music argo:/dev# ls music -l crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 8 set 8 06:34 music argo:/dev# ls amidi* -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 set 8 06:34 amidi -> /dev/amidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 13 set 8 06:34 amidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 29 set 8 06:34 amidi1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 45 set 8 06:34 amidi2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 61 set 8 06:34 amidi3 argo:/dev# ls admmidi* -l crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 14 set 8 06:34 admmidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 30 set 8 06:34 admmidi1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 46 set 8 06:34 admmidi2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 62 set 8 06:34 admmidi3 argo:/dev# ls snd/midiC0D* -l crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 8 set 13 03:40 snd/midiC0D0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 9 set 13 03:40 snd/midiC0D1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 10 set 13 03:40 snd/midiC0D2 I hope you can help me.
