I have a Sound Blaster AWE 32 Plug'n'Play soundcard. I cannot get it
to play midi!
I am using the SB awe 32 drivers (that you patch into the kernel).
I've got my /etc/isapnp.conf file (for isapnptools) working
well-enough that my card works for "normal" sound duties
(i.e. anything non-midi).
I do have the /dev/midi files created.
The following is the contents of /dev/sndstat
bash-2.01$ cat /dev/sndstat
Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630 (Mon Oct 26 11:42:24 CST 1998 root,

--------------------------------
The line I highlighted with the "********" is of interest, I think. I
read on a dejanews article that being in parenthesis means the "SB
MPU..." actually wasn't found. The article also suggested that I use
the same irq for my wavetable that I do for my soundcard. But how do
I specify this?
My /etc/isapnp.conf file is as follows:
(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)

Any help?
Thanks!
