/dev/sequencer or /dev/sequencer2 didn't seem to make any diffs. OTOH, it might be because I'm tired, I spent the afternoon removing the failed starter from my Nissan pickup, which turned into a cast iron bitch. I had to remove adjacent oil system related stuffs from the side of the block, and make a custom jack assembly to lift the engine about 1/4" by brute force in order to get it out. The mounts are solid, and as I braced against the torsion bar, the torsion bar is now bent (not permanently) down about 3/4" while holding the engine up 1/4". >> >Kmid can choose as output device: >> >- the soundcard builtin synth, >> >> I don't think this one has such a beast. > >SB16 has a builtin synth, namely Yamaha OPL3, AWE32 and later also > has but based on wave table, so it is not such a extreme feature. > >> >- or the MIDI UART/USB output port as output device. >> >> Which I do not have, and is not enabled in the kernel. > >I mean UART or USB.

And on the alsa side of the configuration menu, there doesn't seem to be a snd-seq choice.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it very much. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
