thanks I will give that a try.
When running the midi configuration it shows
The following error occurred running the modprobe program: ?
? ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: ?
? init_module: No such device ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz failed ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod ?
? synth0 failed
Also i'm confused that there is no dsp nore any mixer device under
/dev/sound. Something is really broken here :)
