Greetings; I have a 01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value in this system x86_64 system running in x86_32 mode(F8), and I have these modules loaded: [root@coyote sys]# lsmod |grep midi snd_seq_midi 7040 0 snd_seq_virmidi 6272 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 6784 1 snd_emux_synth snd_rawmidi 19968 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_seq_midi_event 7040 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq 47664 9 snd_seq_midi,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 7308 8 snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd 48420 20 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_intel,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep And I have a /dev/midi device. The soundfont is loaded, or at least reports no error when I reload it. Kmid is silent although it seems to go through the motions, but its volume control doesn't seem to be coupled to anything in the kmix display (kde-3.5.10-fc8) or vice versa. Kmid's keyboard display is also motionless while its playing a .mid file. I was at one point a year or so back, under the impression that I could do this: #> cat filenam.mid >/dev/midi and it would play, but a 3:50 song is accepted silently in about 2 seconds. I have inspected things in /sys/ and of the 3 audio cards this system constructs at bootup, card0, the audigy2 above, is the only one with a midi function according to that device tree in /sys. It lists several in fact: [root@coyote sys]# ls class/sound/card0 admmidi amidi controlC0 dmmidi hwC0D0 midi midiC0D1 midiC0D3 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D1c pcmC0D2p power uevent adsp audio device dsp hwC0D2 midiC0D0 midiC0D2 mixer pcmC0D0p pcmC0D2c pcmC0D3p subsystem And the 'dev' entries match: [root@coyote sys]# cat class/sound/card0/midi/dev 14:2 [root@coyote sys]# ls -l /dev/midi crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 2 2008-12-19 10:19 /dev/midi So at least these match up. What can I do to allow .mid files to be played again? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
