Hi all. I have a via8233 onboard chip and I'm still not able to play midi files.
First: Some people told me, the via8233 has no midi-synth. Is this true? This would mean, the windows drivers for this chip are doing software-synthesis. Can ALSA do this? (Yes, I know, timidity can.) There is no volume control for MIDI in alsamixer. Is this normal? The file /proc/asound/oss/sndstat claims, that there is no MIDI device and no SYNTH device present. But I have compiled the alsa drivers with --with-sequencer=yes. The modules have build and they're all inserted. I even have the /devfs/sound/sequencer device, which disappears, when unloading snd-seq-oss.o. But when I try to read from it with `cat /devfs/sound/sequencer', I get the error `no such device'. What's wrong? (BTW, the DSP playback is still noisy, when not playing at 48kHz.) jlh ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
