Hello all-
Thanks to all who responded. I think I'm making progress, but I still haven't received any MIDI events for my SoundBlaster Live! Value. Question: Is it true that external MIDI is sent/ received by the MPU401 port on the card? Or is MPU401 a specialized chip not on the SB Live? Question: Do I need special entries in /etc/modules.conf to activate external MIDI on the card? Question: Why do my mpu401-uart and seq-midi modules show up as (unused)? Here are the sound modules loaded at the moment: % lsmod | grep snd Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-mpu401-uart 4444 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi 4448 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emu10k1-synth 5344 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emux-synth 31548 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-seq-midi-emul 6780 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-virmidi 4452 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-oss 28864 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 5628 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 45548 2 [snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 43236 1 snd-mixer-oss 11072 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-emu10k1 69476 1 [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-pcm 77664 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 13920 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 17184 0 [snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 29872 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 5024 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 5612 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-emu10k1-synth snd-emux-synth snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-util-mem 3124 0 [snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1] snd 37576 0 [snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec snd-hwdep snd-seq-device snd-util-mem] soundcore 6692 10 [snd] My /etc/modules.conf file: % cat /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 # module options go here... # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 (SoundBlaster Live!
