Followed Pedro's advice. I compiled and install successfully the ALSA lib, utils and kernel driver packages.
modprobe snd-usb-midi worked. I checked my /var/log/messages file after plugging the usb device in and here are the results: Aug 19 17:11:56 linux kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 6 Aug 19 17:11:56 linux kernel: usbaudio: device 6 audiocontrol interface 0 interface 1 MIDIStreaming not supported Aug 19 17:11:56 linux kernel: usbaudio: device 6 audiocontrol interface 0 has 0 input and 0 output AudioStreaming interfaces Aug 19 17:11:56 linux kernel: usb-midi: Found MIDISTREAMING on dev 0a4d:008c, iface 1 Aug 19 17:11:56 linux kernel: usb-midi: Found MIDIStreaming device corresponding to Release 1.00 of spec.

Could this be because I've got the daemon installed as well? -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 August 2002 16:29 To: Michael Martin Cc: alsa-user Subject: Re: [Alsa-user] ALSA USB MIDI Input El Lun 19 Ago 2002 15:34, Michael Martin escribi: > Hi, > > I downloaded, compiled, installed the alsa drivers (0.9.0rc3) You need alsa-lib and alsa-utils packages also. > I did modprobe snd-cmipci > I did modprobe usb-midi > All successful. > > But then I did aconnect -i and I could only see my sound card's External > MIDI interface, not the usb-midi interface. usb-midi is the old OSS driver. If you want to use ALSA, try "modprobe snd-usb-midi" instead. You can use OSS programs with ALSA drivers, thanks to the OSS emulation included in ALSA, but not vice versa; aconnect will only work with ALSA drivers. > Do I need to add any lines to my /etc/modules.conf to make usb midi work? If you set your /etc/modules.conf properly, the alsasound script (installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d by 'make install') will load your modules automatically every time you boot, or by hand running that script anytime. Quoting an early post in this list about modules.conf: Really detailled instructions for almost every supported card are at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ for example this module snippet: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-midi # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 # only needed for 1st card 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 Regards, Pedro ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
