Do you actually have both a Soundblaster Live or Audigy and via onboard sound? It would seem very off if you didn't and both of these modules loaded succesully, but I figure it's good to ask anyway. If you do acutally have hardware that can do the midi you should not be using timidity. If you don't have any reasons to have both cards you should disable the via sound, or if you actually want both you should create a file in /etc/modprobe.d with options to index the cards and also following the instructions from /usr/share/doc/awesfx add a line to this file to load your soundfont: #options for multiple cards. options snd_emu10k1 index=0 options snd_via82xx index=1 #Soundfont option for emu10k1 compatible hardware should all be one #line of text. install snd_emu10k1_synth /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd_emu10k1_synth; /usr/bin/asfxload kawaistereogrand #end Your soundfont should be located in /usr/share/sounds/sf2 >############################################################################ > Port Client name Port name > 64:0 VIA 82C686A/B rev20 MIDI - Raw VIA 82C686A/B rev20 MIDI >128:0 TiMidity TiMidity port 0 >128:1 TiMidity TiMidity port 1 >128:2 TiMidity TiMidity port 2 >128:3 TiMidity TiMidity port 3 >############################################################################ > >but pmidi -p 128:0 mymidi > >runs ok, but plays nothing (same for port 64) 64:0 is the midi port so unless you have an external sound producing midi device you won't hear sound through that port. If you have more than one sound card it may be sending the audio through the wrong card, but.... >JackDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK sample rate = 44100Hz, buffer size >= 2048 ... there may be an issue using timidity as the alsa sequencer when you are using jack. There may be something I missed, but I didn't get it to work the last time I tried. If you have two soundcards that could also be causing some wierdness with asfx when it is attempting to load the soundfont. > asfxload kawaistereogrand.sf2 > No Emux synth hwdep device is found It seems very odd that emu10k1 modules are loaded, but the stuff showing the midi ports only reports port information for via and timidity and that asfxload reports no hardware. I don't know if it makes a difference, but as in my example above I leave the extension off of the file name when using asfxload to load it. Also is kawaistereogrand.sf2 a full instrument set or just keybaords or piano or something? It sounds suspicously like the latter from the name.
