Hi, After very much hard work and some good hints found at this list and otherwhere, I finally managed to compile and install Alsa for the SB 128 PCI soundcard.
The reason I did this was that there was no midi sound with the native linux driver for this card. When I tried to use playmidi I got a message that /dev/sequencer did not exist. Well, in the directory /dev there was actually something called "sequencer". Playing wav-files, and having sounds to accompany the desktop events was no problem. I could hear Linus Thorvalds tell me how he pronounces Linux. I downloaded Timidity, and then I could play midi-files by calling Timidity from the command prompt. But what I wanted was to hear the notes as I entered them in Denemo. And this was to my knowledge not possible to do with Timidity. But after I installed Alsa, the situation is exactly as before. .au and .wav-files play, but /dev/sequencer and hence Denemo is as silent as before. I installed Noteedit. The same thing here. The display shows that the notes are played. But no sound. I tried tse3play: same thing: display shows playing, but no sound. I have spent hours searching the net for a solution. The result is that I find dozens and dozens of other people with the same problem, but not a hint of a solution. The snd-card-ens1370/1 source-code contains lots of things related to midi. But for me, who 25 years ago took a short "programming for poets" course in Pascal at the university, there is not much of enlightenment. Is it possible to get Noteedit play its notes with this sound-card, is it possible to hear the notes as they are entered in Denemo?
