Hi Folks,
I've been trying to get my Sound Blaster PCI 128bit sound card to work with
Linux Mandrake 7.2. Its actually on the hardware supported list, something
I checked before I bought Mandrake, but after looking into the problem for
over a week I think the guys at Mandrake are telling fibs?
Harddrake detects the card it and it plays waves no problem. But when you
try to use the cards Midi the midi files "play" but no sound is heard. The
cause of the problem (according to Creative Labs technical support) is that
the card needs a software Wavetable synth, so the midi notes are mapped to
waves which are part of the installation software on windows. So when you
use the card on Mandrake it plays silent notes becuase there is no wavetable
software present!
Can anyone help??? Does anyone know where I can get software Wavetable
Synths for linux, Creative say there is one called "timote" but I can't find
it anywhere??
Regards
David Lewis
