Hello I've been trying to write some real time midi applications under linux. I've been tinkering with alsa for a little while, but still haven't been able to get it to work. My system has a Sound Blaster Live card and i've loaded the emu-10k1 module. Xmms works fine so i know the card is loaded properly. However pmidi doesn't give any sound output. Is there something i need to do to initialize the sound card. I saw in the pmidi documentation that i to intiallize another emu driver you needed to use sfxload. I tried that, but i don't have it installed on my systemI assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the WaveTable in the card could be used to create sounds in hardware. Do I need to use something like Timidity? Any help would be really appreciated. Again, thanks a lot in advance.
Here's some system info. Please let me know if need to include more. pmidi -l gives: Port Client name Port name 64:0 External MIDI 0 MIDI 0-0 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 0 65:1 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 1 65:2 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 2 65:3 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 3 i'm using pmidi with: pmidi -p 65:0 thesis/CONTRA_3.MID current time and current tick in /proc/asound/seq/queues keeps increasing, but no noise. my modules conf reads: #ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 #OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-0 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 The output from /proc/modules is: snd-mixer-oss 9180 0 (autoclean) snd-seq-oss 22592 0 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi 3136 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emu10k1-synth 3548 0 (autoclean) snd-emux-synth 23036 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-seq-midi-emul 4176 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-virmidi 2536 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-midi-event 2712 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi] snd-seq 35856 2 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-emu10k1 54928 0 [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-pcm 52864 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 9928 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-hwdep 3616 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-util-mem 1056 0 [snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 11648 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 3600 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-emu10k1-synth snd-emux-synth snd-seq snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 23428 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd 23884 2 [snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hwdep snd-util-mem snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec] usbcore 48000 0 [snd] soundcore 3236 7 [snd] Again, thanks. tejus ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
