<SNIP> Please tell the list the type of soundcard you have, and a little about what you have working on it and how you did it.
I'm running an Ensoniq Audio PCI64D Soundblaster card (Ess 1371, the MIDI funktion is flawless in Win98). A typical reply when trying to play a MIDI file for example is: 'Couldn't open /dev/sequencer probably there is another program using it'.
I configured the soundcard according to the manual and all other sound funktions work very well, then I installed the latest Alsa driver but i didn't get it to work at all so I had to go back to the old config.
Thank you again. I have more or less given up at the moment trying to get this MIDI thing going, but if someone can give me some hint on what the =%7#€= I'm doing wrong then I would be very grateful. If someone for exempel got this same card (Ensoniq PCI64, Ess1371 chip) running with Alsa and the MIDI function, I would very much like to have a copy of that modules.conf file.
I don't have this card, and I am afraid I use OSS/Free. I looked in http://www.alsa-project.org/src/soundcards.html also in /usr/doc/packages/alsa/SOUNDCARDS and it says there is MIDI support for your card. But /usr/doc/packages/alsa/INSTALL.driver does not mention any parameters. Maybe there are some hints in the sources, if there are no card users on the list. I think there are some alsa-project mailing lists. Hope you get some working code soon. dproc -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
