I have alsa version 0.9.7, Debian unstable, a 2.4.21-xfs and a ESS-Solo1 compatible Terratec 128 PCI soundcard. Sound works fine, but my Midi-keyboard not ( aconnect'ing it to the internal FM synth and trying to use it with the miniFMSynth, an example programm from the alsa development tutorial of Mathias Nagorni) .... . Where can be other errors ??? No ideas anymore, any help wanted!! greetings, Sascha Retzki _____________________________________________________________ Linux.Net -->Open Source to everyone Powered by Linare Corporation http://www.linare.com/
