It has worked happily in the past. > $ asfxload > No Emux synth hwdep device is found Following up my own message, I now have asfxload working and it appears that I had failed to load all the required modules: I had missed snd_emu8000_synth 14820 0 snd_opl3_synth 13636 0 snd_seq_instr 7232 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_ainstr_fm 2144 1 snd_opl3_synth In the sources (linux-2.6.18.3/sound/drivers/opl3/, for example) these modules use the valid names snd-opl3-synth with "-" instead of the more usual "_". This is why I missed them, and I wonder whether the module auto loader scripts may have missed them for the same reason... This has not fully resolved my problem, for using pmidi or aplaymidi or playmidi only plays a single note and then "hangs" consuming cpu time. I suppose my next move should be strace or maybe gdb if I can sort out sources and compile one of the programs.
