installing soundfonts with yast in SuSE 9.1
I have a soundblaster live value card. It is detected and installed okay, except for the soundfonts. Has anyone been successful in installing soundfonts in SuSE 9.1? In yast, it fails to find any soundfonts from the AWE cd. It worked fine in SuSE 9.0. Thanks Eddie

I've had the same problem, so at least you're not suffering alone. :) SuSE? What's up with this one? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

The following worked for me. Copy the soundfonts from the CD to /usr/share/sfbank/creative/ There are three standard files: 2GMGSMT.SF2, 4GMGSMT.SF2 and 8MBGMSFX.SF2. I don't know if these are located in a standard place on the CD. Make a symbolic link: # cd /usr/share/sfbank/creative/ # ln -s default.sf2 8MBGMSFX.SF2 -- JDL

Thanks John This does work, but if it is a bug in yast, I guess it needs to be reported although I don't know to whom. Eddie

I discovered this bug earlier too. You could report it to:
