Hi all I've got my kernel ( RedHat 7.1 ) compiled with only sound support as module ( soundcore.o ), without any other sound driver support.
Then I compiled The last Alsa package ( drivers, libs, utils ), without any trouble, apart from a few preprocessor problems at drivers compile. My card is a: Hercules Gamesurround Muse XL ( don't laugh ), i.e. a CMI 8738 compatible card. The available driver for it is: snd-card-cmipci I compiled this package, with oss compatibility. The whole modules are suitably configured in /etc/modules.conf all load well. For the moment, the card works fine with playing, probably recording, Midi capabilities ( have been checking external Midi out only ), however, the device driver /proc/alsasound/sndstat shows the Synth as "NOT ACTIVE IN CONFIG". By so far, the Audio is being showed as "(ADC/DAC DUPLEX), whenever I try to play an mp3 file, either with mpg123, or plaympeg. Otherwise, it appears as: "NOT ACTIVE IN CONFIG". It appears that all devices work well, apart from the Synth capability. So what could I do, in order to make the Synth capability, active? I've installed the Jazz++ program, which works well, didn't try recording from my keyboard until now, for the moment I can't output any sound to the speakers, using the existing demo midi files. External Midi works very well with it. Any suggestions? Best regards.
