There are MIDI ports, and then there are MIDI synthesizers. If you have a game port, you almost certainly have MIDI port support on it. MIDI synthesizers is another issue, and I am almost certain the nforce3 does NOT have any midi synthesizer ability. The driver under windows might emulate one though. > The second problem is related to Debian AMD64 only - the problem was > not present on Debian i386 (do you use the Debian AMD64?). > The sound driver can be used only by one app at a time (for example > when I listen to music with xmms the KDE has no access to the sound > device; or when KDE uses the sound device (through aRts) no other app > has access to the sound device, etc).

Are you using the same driver for the sound under both (snd-intel8x0 vs i810audio for example. One is alsa the other oss). Newer kernels I believe supprot dmix automatically, while older kernels require userspace to handle setting up dmix. > I would like to know if these are general problems or if only I have them. Pretty general I think. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
