Double-clicking on the midi file ran kmid, but there is no sound. Timidity++ comes installed with Fedora 8. But still, it does not do anything. I ran: timidity -iA -OO & TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3 Then kmid: no sound. I used -OO because esound option (-Oe) failed to run Timidity++, even though esound appears in pulseaudio manager as a client but for some reason the -0e option fails. I do notice in PA Mgr that esound clients and modules are there, modules have arguments. Maybe the modules needs to be configured? Dunno. lsmod returns: ======================================== snd_rtctimer 6753 1 snd_hda_intel 319865 6 snd_seq_dummy 6853 0 snd_seq_oss 29633 0 snd_seq_midi_event 9921 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 44913 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 9933 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 37441 0 snd_mixer_oss 16577 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 61637 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 21065 3 snd_rtctimer,snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11337 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 10309 1 snd_hda_intel snd 44517 19 snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep soundcore 9633 2 snd pcspkr 6592 0 ======================================== What is missing is the midi module, I think. I just don't see it. Perhaps I need to manually add this in? If so, how is this done?
