Sounds to me like either your midi is muted or you don't have midi playback capability in the soundcard. Save yourself a headache and double check the hardware specs to see if you have FM synthesis and/or wavetable synthesis. Note that if you have the latter you may need to load some waves into the wavetable before it can play anything back. Alas I don't have one of these nifty cards so I have no direct experience with them. I know enough to say that just because it works in windows doesn't mean it's in the hardware - it may be windows is doing all the synthesis. The equivalent in linux would be to use timidity or something like that. Sounds like you tried that and still got no sound - the only reason that would happen (assuming timidity didn't complain) is a mixer setting. > If you're just looking at notating some music check out denemo and > lilypond.

Just make sure the oss modules don't load, and then the ALSA modules will work properly. -- .O.
