Hi, I am using Mandrake 7.2 (Power pack edition). I now wish to play MIDI files. My sound card works, for example I can listen to CD's. When I load kmid I get a message [david@esther ~]$ kmid KMid 2.0 Copyright (C) 1997,98,99,2000 Antonio Larrosa Jimenez. Malaga (Spain) KMid comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details view file COPYING This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions ERROR: Couldn't open /dev/sequencer to get some information Yet /dev/sequencer exists In kimid when I load a midi file and press play I get "Couldn't open /dev/sequqncer Probably where is another program using it." If I use fuser - v /dev/sequencer it gives no output so I assume that nothing is using it but that there is a configuration problem. I have also tried using playmidi and I get this: [david@esther ~]$ playmidi dl/music/openreyeslord.mid Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I. Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details please see the file COPYING. open /dev/sequencer: No such device Is there something I have not installed that I need or do I need to configure something. This is a bit of a pain as it means I might have to use Windows to play some midi files at Church tomorrow and I don't want to have to do that. Thanks Dave
