If its a creative labs card go to opensource.creative.com. Always go to the real source first if you need to, that is the manufacturer. Do not expect to get a fix right away, but your notes will be seen (and if enough of them they will take action). Its not the fault of SuSE (nor any other distro either) in anyway. In fact, just did a quicksearch on www.google.net and got 10 hits, one of them being on the www.alsa-project.org page. This is a hugely complex field and there really is only so much that one can give support to. Think about how many different combinations of hardware there are out there, and many needing different parts of software to work. Matt On Mon, 29 Jan 2001, Tor Sigurdsson wrote:

P.L.E.A.S.E - get a life !
SuSE are a team of people busting their butt off putting together a system that each of us would spend unaccounted for manyears doing ourselves ! THAT is the value they provide. They are not that much into the "D" part of R&D except for the excellent Yast, SaX and their very nice init. What Linux is about is doing yourself what is needed, or stimulating the right parties that have both competense and time, to doi it for you. Nagging and bitching about missing features is windows-ism, and quite frankly not that popular.
Having been a *nix system administrator both part-time and full-time for the last seven years, I know what a tremendous effort it is that the SuSE team has undertaken, and I really think that is something we should be greatful for, adn prout to be part of.
Here is a bit bucket. Go spit.

If what you say is true Niklas (which I suppose it is), then I have one more reason to be upset about how SuSE treats what probably for them are 'small customers'. In the SuSE 7.0 Handbook's Index you don't find one word about MIDI. SuSE support gives you this: 'Your enquiry goes beyond the scope of our Installation Support.' On SuSE's web-sites I have never found anything on MIDI in SuSE. I have been in contact with a lot of people who have been struggling back and forth trying to get MIDI to work on their SuSE box, it would save a lot of us a lot of pain and effort if there was somewhere a notice or a piece of information on which soundcards do and which don't support MIDI in SuSE/Linux.
Cheers,

Well, you are more or less bound to use Timidity. As I understood the synth on most Soundblaster PCI-cards (en1371 or 70) is a "Windows-only" software synth. In practice Timidity does the same thing under Linux, but you can't use under all programs.
cheers
