I'm setting up Midi for the first time, having a bit of trouble getting some midi-originated sounds out of the soundcard. Looked through the various HOWTOs. I failed loading these fonts: $ asfxload FluidR3-GM.sf2 No Emux synth hwdep device is found But there is some synth-related info in /proc/asound/hwdep 00-00: OPL3 FM And then looking at /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.5a emulation code) Kernel: Linux sprite 2.4.25 #12 Thu Jul 8 14:42:08 HST 2004 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: ESS AudioDrive ES1869 at 0x220, irq 5, dma1 0, dma2 3 Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24 at 0x2440, irq 11 Virtual MIDI Card 1 Audio devices: 0: ESS AudioDrive ES1869 (DUPLEX) 1: ICE1712 multi (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Would this be in my kernel configuration??

Probably some unnecessary. My last tries were snd-gus-synth and snd-emux-synth. Thanks for reading.
