Hello everyone, new user. I'm having, for the first time (longtime ALSA user), a problem with my headless setup. Board: Raspberry PI 4B OS: Raspberry OS (Debian 10-derived) Kernel: 5.10.5-v8+ ALSA version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k5.10.5-v8+ ALSA only: no jack, no pulseaudio etc. Headless setup, no GUI Problem: when I connect my MIDI USB keyboard (GarageKey), it is correctly detected, but I don't receive MIDI messages from it. The keyboard works OK on another Linux setup (Ubuntu 18). Output from aconnect -i: client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel] 0 'Midi Through Port-0' client 20: 'GarageKey mini' [type=kernel,card=1] 0 'GarageKey mini MIDI 1' Output from aseqdump -l: Port Client name Port name 0:0 System Timer 0:1 System Announce 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 20:0 GarageKey mini GarageKey mini MIDI 1 No events with asqedump: :-( aseqdump -p 20 Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end. Source Event Ch Data (nothing happens as I play notes on the keyboard) What "worries" me is that "client 20: 'GarageKey mini' [type=kernel,card=1]" In fact, ALSA "sees" my USB keyboard as an audio card, which sounds odd: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Device ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Audio Device at usb-0000:01:00.0-1.3, full speed 1 [mini ]: USB-Audio - GarageKey mini miditech GarageKey mini at usb-0000:01:00.0-1.2, full speed Maybe that's the problem? Any hint? Thanks!
