I'm having trouble getting my external MIDI ports to work again.
They worked fine in the morning, and now they're gone. I found
out that my MIDI ports were missing when I fired up Rosegarden and it
couldn't connect to any output ports. I googled, read manual pages
and FAQs, and searched through mailing list archives for nearly a day.
Coming up with nothing that helped, I'm hoping that some kind person
reading this could help me figure this out. Here are some details.
My loaded sound and/or MIDI related modules are these:
snd-seq-oss 27648 0
snd-seq-midi-event 4480 1 snd-seq-oss
snd-seq 40336 4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event
snd-pcm-oss 45992 0
snd-mixer-oss 16384 1 snd-pcm-oss
snd-ens1371 18020 0
snd-rawmidi 17700 1 snd-ens1371
snd-seq-device 5640 2 snd-seq-oss,snd-rawmidi
snd-ac97-codec 59616 1 snd-ens1371
snd-pcm 68616 3 snd-pcm-oss,snd-ens1371,snd-ac97-codec
snd-timer 19204 2 snd-seq,snd-pcm
snd-page-alloc 6408 1 snd-pcm
gameport 2176 1 snd-ens1371
snd 38244 10 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-pcm-oss,\
snd-mixer-oss,snd-ens1371,snd-rawmidi,\
snd-seq-device,snd-ac97-codec,snd-pcm,\
snd-timer
soundcore 6112 2 snd,bttv
[I broke the "snd" module line above.]
The /proc files that seem important are these:
::::::::::::::
/proc/asound/version
::::::::::::::
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.6a.
Compiled on Sep 30 2004 for kernel 2.6.7-1.mm.7mdk-i686-up-4GB.

33: : timer
::::::::::::::
/proc/asound/card0/midi0
::::::::::::::
ES1371
Output 0
Tx bytes : 0
Input 0

I try to find ports like so:
[#43] aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
[#48] aconnect -li
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
Connecting To: 63:0
[#49] aconnect -lo
[#50]
What can I do better to debug this? Better yet, how can I fix it?
Thanks much....
