[linux-audio-user] Problem: Audigy Platinum Pro and MIDI (some better details)

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

 



Sorry, I left out a few details.  I'm running SUSE 9.1 with ALSA 
(alsactl says v1.0.3) and the 2.6 kernel.  For this test I do not have 
JACK running.  I'm just trying to get the Audigy card to play a MIDI file. 

If anyone can provide some insight, I'd appreciate it.  Also, I imagine 
this is the best forum for discussing problem with Linux Audio.  Does 
anyone have suggestions for other places where Linux audiophiles hang out?
