Hi After me having problems getting my staudio (hoontech) dsp24 (cport) (www.staudio) to work on alsa with midi in I posted the follong on linux audio user list: .................................. [linux-audio-user] How to check if I have midi connection? (Ketil Thorgersen, Fri Oct 17 19:12:18 2003)
Sorry about this extremely naive question, but since this is my first time trying to get linux to be a DAW I stumble onto some problems of course. And my know-how is somewhat limited unfortunately. My staudio c-port (envy 24 based 8 channel card analogue + 2 channel digital from www.staudio.com with built in midi-interface) works as far as audio goes now, but I can't seem to get anything out of the midiports even though it seems to be properly recognized. Alsa Patch bay gives me a: Rawmidi: 0 - Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24 MPU-401 entry at least (actually 2 - one for each midi port), but no matter which I choose in rosegarden or any other app, I get no signal in the displays. How do I find out if it's working, and how do I troubleshoot. If this is well documented somewhere and comprehensible for semidummies, I'd be happy to receive a link! ....................................... And I received several answers - all of them having the same problem: .............................. Hi, I have the same soundcard and similar problems with MIDI. My situation is: MIDI outs are working, but not MIDI in. I think rosegarden is not the best app for testing, since I have another MIDI device (SCD70 roland) that works perfectly in all other apps but here also MIDI in (which is the 3rd device on the SCD70) doesn't work. You might try muse instead or, to simply test MIDI outs, pmidi. Returning to the C-Port, I guess ALSA get confused by the fact that it has 2 outs and 1 in, and in fact I see (aconnect -lo) 2 devices listed as outs _but_ (aconnect -li) also 2 devices listed as ins, even if the hardware has only 1 midi in. This could be the problem, but don't trust me because I know nothing about ALSA in his deep. Also excuse my english which is far more naive that your question ;-) You can see in the support forum of staudio that me and another guy (Chris Hardin IIRC) have posed the question, but no answer so far. Maybe we could unite and ask on the ALSA devel ml instead (but my skills are not so technical) .................................. we really should do that. Now there are already four people having the same problem with the ST Audio DSP 2000C, so it�s very likely that there is a real problem with the alsa driver. At least we should ask the alsa people to change the status of the card from "supported" to "partially supported" :-( Regards Klaus ............................................... Is there a way to make midi in work with alsa? Best regards Ketil Thorgersen -- ~-----*-------*'*'*-------*------~ Ketil A.
