 Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:26 pm Post subject: midi playing problem (plays just one note, any midi file) |
 |
|
I have some strange problem with midi. I read all gentoo.org documentation, and all wiki.gentoo documentation, and no success.
I have Sound Blaster Live 5.1, emu10k1.
A have kernel 2.6.17-r8, and I (think) checked all midi and sound , alsa options for compile.
A installed asfxload , and when I load SF2 sound font file, and when I start some program for playing midi, and choose some midi file (kmid for example), only I hear is ONE NOTE (I think it is piano). It does not mather what mid file I play, any midi when I try to play, I hear only one note, and after that one note, player still playing that file.
I load sonundfont with command asfxload something.sf2.
So, here is some of my configuration and other information
sorg@euforia /proc/asound $ cat /proc/asound/devices

What is the output of | Code: | | cat /proc/asound/card0/wavetableD1 |
Have you try to play the MIDI file with aplaymidi: | Code: | | aplaymidi --port=17:0 <midifile> |

Sorry to be so late. I have no idea either. Maybe at it is better to ask on the alsa-user email list.

Hello, If you are still aroud, I have to say something...
I boot-up KNOPPIX - Live CD , with same kernel and alsa-version as my Gentoo, and... I load soundfont, so I tried to play midi, and everything works, it plays perfectlly. So it is Gentoo related problem, and I dont know what is it ? |

What is the output of
You can do the same check on knoopix and compare. I don't know what it can be. You must be systematic. In you case, I will even check not only the sound drivers but all the drivers. It can append at a kernel load a wrong driver that will cause a conflict when another kernel will not do that on the same hardware.
When you said: "I (think) checked all midi and sound , alsa options for compile. ". Does that mean at you checked every option for your hardware or every options for all the hardwares? Note at if the kernel load a wrong driver, it can cause a conflict with the sound even if it is not a sound driver. It is enough if both use the PCI bus or the same memory or all that I don't know.
If nothing work, try another kernel, or a kernel without the sound drivers and the alsa-driver package. I don't know the 2.6.17-r8 kernel, but I know the 2.6.17-rt8 and it have some stability issues. And they have been solved only recently with the 2.6.18-rt3 and 5 because it was sommer time for the kernel guys.
