[linux-audio-user] MIDI -???- setup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I'm still having trouble configuring sound for my box. I'm using the 
2.4.18-596-demudi kernel and ALSA-0.9beta ... that comes with the distro.

I've successfully loaded my soundcard modules (by hand). But still no Joy.
I checked /proc/asound and all the inormation is there for both soundcards
- ESS Solo-1 and an sbawe64 all present and correct, although I've not
checked the /proc/asound files exhaustively.The /dev/snd directory is
present also.

As you see I have minimal / low powered setup.
I need to be able to access my external synthesiser keyboard (an old Roland
D10) and I'd like to use MusE / Rosegarden-4 to edit my MIDI files. I'm not
expecting wonders, but I do think it's possible without having to revert to
OSS.

It's clear that something is not configured right, some essential link in
the chain is missing or misdirected, but what? It would be useful to know
what these config utilities are supposed to do.
 I don't know what to do next. Please tell me if there's something obvious
that an experienced user would have done in these circumstances. Or if I
could be asking better questions or offering more focused information.
How do you define an $AUDIOSERVER?

cheers

What follows is a healthy portion of Luncheon Meat fyi - please prompt me
if you need more | less focussed information than this.

Errors:
Magpie can't parse the infolines so puts all demudi apps into 'unspecified'
category - this isn't of course a major problem.
Back at my desktop menu (I'm using fluxbox) Midi connection panel gives
'Error opening sequencer'
MusE fails to open and proceeds to thrash the cpu at 99% for some reason.
Alsa Mixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Unknown error
Jack connection panel won't open.
Jack Audio server brings up an xterm flashes text too fast to read and then
exits.
AlsaPlayer tells me that there's no $AUDIOSERVER
GEM rather rudely hung the system.

Soundcard detection semi-works: giving:
 """

 """
It rewrites /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 to launch two instances of es1938,
overwrting sbawe for card1 (???)
amixer on the command line produces lots of text output.
If I try to cat anything to /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p, I get:
cat: write error: File descriptor in bad state.
/var/log/messages doesn't have much to say except for a few lines of:
kernel: snd_es1938_write_cmd timeout (0x02c0/0x0280)
