firstly, check whether /dev/sequencer really exists. if it's there, check /proc/asound/seq/oss and whether emu10k1 is registered as the synth device. > So finally some questions: Is it possible to get MIDI working with SB Live > 5.1?

(i don't know about the latter much, since i've never used devfs...) Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
