 Posted: Thu May 15, 2003 11:19 pm Post subject: sb live! MIDI with ALSA==>TROUBLES |
 |
|
ok, i got ALSA set up exactly how the guide says.
here's my card:
| Code: | carrett@duder carrett $ grep audio /proc/pci
Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 7).
|
now, i'm trying to run rosegarden or noteedit to put some of my compositions on my computer with midi. with noteedit i can use tse3 libraries to export the thing as midi, but i still can't listen to the composition as i write it. it turns out, i don't really have midi working, the only way i can listen to midis is with timidity or something. example, both
| Code: | carrett@duder carrett $ cat school/music60final.mid > /dev/snd/midiC0D0
carrett@duder carrett $ cat school/music60final.mid > /dev/sound/midi00
|
give no audio output. what do i need to do? i don't have any oss in my kernel, could that be it?

You can't use OSS in the kernel with ALSA. I'm not using midi right now but I hope to be soon to interface my Line 6 Bass Pod, maybe you requier to set up the OSS emulation under ALSA perhaps. *Guessing*

| Did you check to make sure that the midi channels aren't muted or set at a really low volume? I know I had this "problem" with getting my CD Audio to work. |

i don't even see midi as a possible volume control....this can't be good.
sb lives SHOULD have midi support, right?

Did you try a
| Code: | | modprobe snd-seq-midi |
?
I had problems with midi and my sblive, too, since this module wasn't loaded when needed.
I added the line
| Code: | | alias /dev/snd/seq snd-seq-midi |
to /etc/modules.d/alsa and ran modules-update. That fixed my problems. |

that must've done something, because now i can see devices in noteedit. here they are, which one should i use?
receiver 63:0
emu10k1 mpu-401 (uart) 64:0
emu10k1 port 0 65:0
emu10k1 port 1 65:1
emu10k1 port 2 65:2
emu10k1 port 3 65:3
also, when i try to run kmid, i get this error:
| Code: | Sorry, this KMid version was compiled without
ALSA support but you're using ALSA .
|
i even tried putting alsa as a USE variable and re-emerging kde-multimedia but i still get the same error. also, the modprobe did do something, but cat-ing to the midi devices, both in sound and snd still doesn't give any sound, or at least, none i could hear....i don't see any kind of midi in my gnome volume control or alsamixer
what am i missing?

thanks! the only thing i had to do to make that forum work was:
| Code: | | ln -s /dev/sound/sequencer /dev/sequencer |
now i've got fully functional midi. rock on. kmid still complains about not being compiled for alsa, i don't really care as i use kmidi or xmms-midi (aka timidity) for playback, anybody know how to fix it though?
