Sorry I took so long to respond. I've just done and it is working like a charm. I have a Sound Blaster Live! card. Here is the content of my modules.conf file. probeall usb-interface usb-ohci alias sound-slot-1 snd-emu10k1 above snd-cmipci snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 3c59x above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci As you can see, they're pretty much the same, so I guess you're running Alsa. The article whose link I sent says we have to install the following packages: awesfx and awesfx-devel. So, I did it. Then, I created the directory /usr/share/midi and copied the sound fonts to the newly-created directory # cp /mnt/cdrom/AUDIO/COMMON/SFBANK/8MBGMSFX.SF2 /usr/share/midi And, finally, I ran the command below to load the sound fonts # sfxload /usr/share/midi/8MBGMSFX.SF2 The trick here is to run that command every time Linux boots up. otherwise the fonts won't load up again. I started Kmid (not Kmidi) and chose the second MIDI device. Then I opened a .kar file and it all worked. A .kar file is just like a .mid file; the difference is that .kar files have text. I also have Timidity installed and it's playing .mid files flawlessly. If you're using KDE, you probably have to kill Arts before playing midi files. There's also playmidi, which you might want to check out. Just urpmi it. Let me know how it goes.
