Folks, Is it me or does Fedora have a real problem when it has to deal with Sound cards? I cannot for the LIFE OF ME figure out WHY is FEDORA IMPOSSIBLE getting sound to work!?!?!? I can get my CDROM to play music -- and wave files, etc but... MIDI is one of those simple things that *should* be working but alas -- no -- it is not simple... it is said not to work very well.... I have tried a cheap Yamaha YMF-724F (DS-1) and a not-so-cheap Creative Labs, SoundBlaster LIVE card and there is no way in h$ll I can get midi to work for either cards!?!?!? I cannot even figure out how to disable the KDE arts server since it was removed from the KControl and so -- kindly -- how can I disable it -- just in case it is preventing midi from working right? Yes, I scouraged goggle, AskJeves, etc. and it seems people got these cards to work just fine on debian, Mandrake, Suze but heck -- NOT ON FEDORA!?!? I tried this on FC-2 and FC-3. Please, please, please, tell me -- how can I get MIDI to work? I was told that for YMF-724F the following line should be added in the /etc/modprobe.conf file: options snd-ymfpci index=0 mpu_port=0x330 but -- nope! Does not work As for the SB-Live card - no information how in what to add to the modprobe.conf file.... Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! Humbled.... ~Dan
