But still no sound. Hrm. You've tried other programs to send the MIDI sequence to the synth (e.g. aplaymidi), right? (just to make sure that it's not an issue with Rosegarden) Alternately, you've successfully played the MIDI sequence through a softsynth like timidity, right? (to point the finger directly at getting the synth working) I think I remember reading that you'd done so. Right? If so, I'm at a bit of a loss. I never had any problem getting this stuff to work. Once upon a time, about a year and a half ago, I wrote up a brief HOWTO-ish document for MIDI on Linux, but it's currently on a disk attached to a machine that won't boot. The only other thing I can think of right now: I believe I remember reading that you'd played around with all the controls in alsamixer that seemed relevant; you may want to revisit that again. I haven't seen how the emu10k1 looks in recent versions of alsa/alsamixer, but the volume control for the output of the wavetable synth used to have the singularly unhelpful title of "Music" in alsamixer. You might play around there. Or perhaps steal the mixer settings from someone who's got it working, and see if that helps. > It's > probably something ridiculously simple, since I'm new to this... S'ok. You're right that it usually is something simple, but it never seems that way until *after* the problem is solved, when it's easy to call it that! -c
