Hi, About a year ago I had MIDI working fine on my system (software only to timidity plus a USB MIDI keyboard), but haven't been using it for the last year. Having just acquired a MIDI synth module, I decided to set up an audio workstation again, but can't get it to work. My problem is that I only hear the MIDI events that are right at the beginning of a MIDI file. Looking at /proc/asound/seq/queues shows a "running" timer with a current time that never advances beyond zero. I have tried different combinations of kernels and alsa-drivers, with no change in behaviour. I have tried linux 2.6.16-rt29 (Gentoo Proaudio overlay) and 2.6.18.1 vanilla. I have tried the alsa drivers that came with those kernels and also alsa-driver 1.0.11 and 1.0.13. I notice that I can't get software MIDI devices to work either. aplaymidi will not talk to Timidity, nor will it talk to my external MIDI synth module. Kmid and Rosegarden behave exactly the same way. I have a small Windows program that generates MIDI events, and this works perfectly when I run it under wine. I have made a package of everything I can think of and put it at http://www.mythral.org/~ray/public/alsapost/ It contains /proc/asound, dmesg output, kernel configs, etc. I am happy to provide more information or test new source code if that helps.
