A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2023> ====================================================================== Reported By: zanonmark Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2023 Category: PCI - ens1371 Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new Distribution: Ubuntu 5.10 Kernel Version: 2.6.12-10 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 04-16-2006 12:18 CEST Last Modified: 05-21-2006 04:49 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: midi/joystick port disabled and no way to enable it Description: I have a MIDI keyboard and I'd like to connect it to the midi/joystick port of the soundcard. Unfortunately, while PCM works fine and /dev/midi is created, I see no MIDI communication through /dev/midi. /proc/asound/AudioPCI/audiopci reports that the joystick port is disabled. It is probably a bug on the Ubuntu side (did they forget to compile the driver correctly?), but I'd like to see a parameter for enabling the joystick port "on the fly": other drivers have one (e.g.: "joystick=1"), but snd_ens1371 has not, so: 1) it is not possible to reload (rmmod and modprobe) the driver with that parameter enabling the midi/joystick port manually, 2) it is not possible to save (alsactl store), modify and reload (alsactl restore) the soundcard settings, because I see no such parameter to modify. So, will you please include such a parameter in the next version of the driver? Thanks a lot, Marco. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zanonmark - 05-20-06 11:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Unfortunately, playing doesn't show up anything but: root@ubuntu:/home/marco# amidi -d -p hw:0,0 [pressing CTRL+C] 0 bytes read 2) As per the OSS driver, how can I test it? I just unloaded (rmmod) snd_ens1371 and loaded (modprobe) es1371. I can hear xmms playing pcm sounds, but how can i test midi? "cat /dev/midi" and playing doesn't show up anything. Thanks, MZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 05-21-06 04:49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arecordmidi will allow you to record your play on keyboard to a midi file. You will need Timidity++ or softsynth if you want to hear the playback. However it seem that there is no communication between midi keyboard and ens1371.
