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: 05-23-2006 20:02 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. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Clemens Ladisch - 05-23-06 19:09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The keyboard should not need any special initialization. To check whether the cable itself works, connect the sound card's MIDI output to its MIDI input, run "amidi -d -p hw:0", then play something to the ES1371 port (with aplaymidi or any sequencer). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zanonmark - 05-23-06 20:02 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Excuse me, I didn't understand: how can I connect the sound card's output with its input? the 15-pins jack would "use" the whole port, also, I don't know whether this makes sense, but i tried: amidi -d -p hw:0 on one console, and: amidi -p hw:0 -S "F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7" on another console, and I could not see anything in the first one: shouldn't I see the dump of those characters?
