 |
|
Every time I do sfxload /etc/midi/8MBGMSFX.SF2 I just get a cryptic /dev/sequencer: No such device or address message. But there are /dev/sequencer and /dev/sequencer2. I can play midis with timidity and xmms, but it would be nice to be able to load the soundfont. I have all the sound stuff compiled into my 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 kernel. I can post any extra info needed, just ask.
edit: Well, I just realized that it might be a good idea to reveal what my sound card is. It's a soundblaster live.

You might want to try asfxload. It's contained in the awesfx-0.5.0 package (awesfx-0.5.0b should be in portage). It loads the soundfonts using ALSA (sfxload is actually an OSS tool).
It should at least fix ALSA-enabled apps, but I'm not quite sure about old (OSS-) applications (haven't tried it).  |
