 |
|
I can't get midi working on my box, I always get the message "/dev/sequencer: No such device or address" whenever something wants to access the sequencer (such as sfxload). Kernel is 2.6.3-gentoo-r1, soundcard SB Live! Player 1024. (Midi worked great under kernel 2.4.)
| Code: | # sfxload /usr/share/sfbank/8mbgmsfx.sf2
/dev/sequencer: No such device or address
# cat /dev/sequencer
cat: /dev/sequencer: No such device or address
# ls -l /dev/sequencer
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15 apr 1 15:32 /dev/sequencer -> sound/sequencer
# ls -l /dev/sound/sequencer

I also tried doing this as myself and through aoss, but with the same results.
I've enabled this in the kernel config (2.6.3-gentoo-r1):
| Code: | Device drivers
-> Sound
---> (x) Sound card support
---> (x) Advanced Linux Sound Architecture:
-----> (x) Sequencer support
-----> (x) OSS API emulation
-------> (x) OSS Mixer API
-------> (x) OSS PCM (digital audio) API
-------> (x) OSS Sequencer API
-----> PCI devices
-------> (m) EMU10K1 (SB Live! & Audigy, E-mu APS) |
Anyone know what's wrong ? |

Have you checked if everything seem right(alias'es for /dev/[mixer|dsp|midi] etc) in /etc/modules.d/alsa ?
Also, have you tried(/are-you-using) the enable_midi=1 option? (im not sure its needed, but you could give it a try. just in case) |

Yes, everything seems right:
| Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2003/08/05 21:07:55 johnm Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

options snd cards_limit=1 enable_midi=1 |
(I added the /dev/sequencer, /dev/sound/*, and enable_midi=1, same results)

Try using
| Code: | | options snd-emu10k1 enable_midi=1 |
instead of
| Code: | | options snd cards_limit=1 enable_midi=1 |

Well, im out. your modules config seems perfectly fine to me (although from your first post it seems like /dev/sequencer is a symbolic link to /dev/sound/sequencer, and you then later added a /dev/sequencer alias to your config. Im not sure if this can be a problem (ofcourse it have absolutely nothing to do with your original problem, i just wanted to mention it))
Anyways, i afraid i cant help anymore (i dont own a SB myself, so i cant really test anything out). So good luck and i hope you get it working ASAP  |

| Have you tried asfxload? It's in the awesfx package from version 0.5.0 upwards (0.5.0b is in portage; alsa USE-flag is required for asfxload). awesfx is the same as sfxload, but accesses ALSA directly (sfxload uses OSS). |
