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: 05-25-2006 18:33 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 - 05-24-06 14:32 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With "output" and "input", I meant the MIDI jacks of your gameport-MIDI adapter. If it has built in cables, you cannot connect one to the other. In this case, you can just connect pins 12 and 15 of the gameport with a wire (view with a monospaced font): 8 1 ------------------- \ o o o o o o o o / \ o o o o o o o / -+-----+------- 15| | 9 \_____/ Your amidi commands should work _if_ the output is connected to the input. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zanonmark - 05-25-06 18:33 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've connected pins 12 and 15 of the gameport and I typed the same "amidi" commands as before, this time I was able to see the correct result on the second terminal window! So the gameport looks like working... :) So the problem lies in the MIDI cable?
