Greetings to the Audio-User list. I'm mainly using FC1 & FC2. Music apps from planetccrma. Soundcard is Audigy2 soundblaster using the emu10k1 driver. Alsa I think is now 1.0.9. I have awesfx installed and can install the soundfont from my Audigy card ok from the CLI. I can also start Rosegarden which I have configured to load the sound font from its path to /home/user/ <soundfont> and the font loads ok. If I want to use Kmid I can either load the soundfont on the CLI or start and then stop Rosegarden before opening Kmid to play a .midi file. Ideally, I'd like the sound font to be loaded at boot-up. Anyone got any suggestions? It's no big deal to load it each time you boot, but would be nicer if would install automatically when you bootup. The soundfont is in /home/user. Sfxload is in /usr/bin. "You can load a default Sound Font Bank automatically with installing the module. Just append a line like post-install sound /usr/bin/sfxload synthgm.sbk to your /etc/conf.modules file." That bit in the quotes was from Marcus Brinkmanns HOW-TO but is a bit old,using kernel 2.0. Anyone who's got sfxload to auto load a soundfont please reply. Nigel.
