I have ALSA 1.0.11 and the 2.4.33.3 kernel (with Slackware 11), and I use the snd-intel8x0 module for my sound card. I used to have MIDI working when I was using an older kernel (it was somewhere between 2.4.22 and 2.4.26), and ALSA 1.0.9 (I think), but I can't get it to work with this version. (I am trying to output MIDI through my game port, not the audio output on my sound card.) I used to use the following line in /etc/modules.conf: options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x300 joystick=1 index=0 but apparently, the mpu_port option was dropped from the snd-intel8x0 module at some point, because it doesn't show up with modinfo anymore, and it doesn't work if I try to pass that option when I'm loading the module. I looked around for some documentation and it seems that I might need the snd-mpu401 module, but it won't load. dmesg tells me this every time I try to load snd-mpu401 with modprobe: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found MPU-401 device not found or device busy I can get the module mpu401 to load -- I suppose that's the OSS driver. Here is my /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu401 options snd-mpu401 port=0x300 irq=10 options snd-intel8x0 joystick=1 index=0 options snd major=116 cards_limit=2 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss My BIOS tells me that my midi port is at address 300 and irq 10, so that's what I put as the options for snd-mpu401. Any thoughts on how I can get MIDI output working? Phil Carter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
