OK things are looking real good now thanks to your help. Now I actually have all devices accounted for in sndstat. I have just one more question. I have been able to play midi files through timidity all along but I cannot get sound from the speakers using playmidi or aplaymidi. When I run aplaymidi --port=65 tink.mid (also tried ports 63,64 and 128) it acts like it is playing the file but I hear nothing. Do I need to get some sort of sound fonts for this to work? (read something about this while searching Google) Or is thre something else I am doing wrong? The end result I am looking for is to be able to play midi files through my Finale music program running through Wine so I am using playmidi to try and zero in on the problem. Thanks for all the help, Brett ---------cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat: Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xd400, irq 10 Audio devices: 0: C-Media PCI DAC/ADC (DUPLEX) Synth devices: 0: OPL3 FM synth Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 MIDI 0-0 Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: CMedia PCI ----------end sndstat __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
