Hi Jose,

  Thanks, Jose, I'm now at the point where KControl lists MIDI sequencers. I 
wonder why Mandrake mis-installed when I installed 8.1? So far, in LM I have 
things working that didn't work in SuSE, and things *not* working that worked 
in SuSE. ;-)
  Anyway, so I have the synth ready to go it looks like, and I run sfxload 
and tried to load the sound font that is in /etc/midi . However, then if I 
try to run playmidi it gives me this error:

  % /suse/home/uninet/www/warpspeed.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.
  playmidi: No playback device found.

  KMid gets similar results, only on the first try it doesn't give any kind 
of error, just no sound. If I try to play the song a second time, then KMid 
complains about some other app using the sequencer.


  Here is what lsmod has to say about sound:
