hi, assuming you are using ALSA (www.alsa-project.org), there is a known issue with the midi on the front panel, see http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Platinum&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1 the alsa list (http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/) also has a link about the Driver Status, go check it out. amongs other things it says: "- MPU401 - implemented - should work but not tested". i have only a SB Live myself, successfully use a gameport-to-midi adapter, and just realise that that is no option for you as the SB Audigy has no gameport connector! so, hopefully someone else can expand on the latest SB Audigy's Driver Status on the ALSA page && midi...
