You have 256Mb ram, how big is the soundfont? Harddisk activity can come from swaping, so which wm are you using? I would use a light one as fluxbox or xfwm with so little ram. Are you sure at the program you are using is configured to use the synth in the emu10k1 and not a softsynth? lock-up -> check which modules are loaded, if the soundfont is loaded and the IRQs. # lsmod | grep snd # asfxload <your-soundfont.sf2> # cat /proc/interrupts Dominique Using Tomcat but need to do more?
