I'm running a 64studio and have a trouble using it with Creative Sound Blaster Platinum Live DriveII sound device (pretty old but really cheap for what I need).

I'm sure there's soundfonts in the device, allright?


Not unless you actually loaded them. Try something like this command:

   asfxload /path/to/some/soundfont.sf2

Good luck. Some distros seem to think sfxload/asfxload are negligible items or at least worthy of hidden status. I guess they figure we can stuff the fonts into the card by hand. :(

Best,

Hello, I want to know more :
I've heard of this command before, but I want to understand this deeper : if I'll use asfxload it's to import external soundfonts in my device. But I already used these cards on Win$ and the soundfonts were already in there... And from what I heard it's the particularity of this device there's already SF inside... So how can I have a direct access to them.

Hello,

There are no soundfonts in these cards; they have to be loaded. On Win$ the GM soundfont is loaded during the installation of the card and it stays there, even after shutting down (well actually, it is loaded by default on startup). On Linux the soundfonts are not kept in the card but have to be loaded every time you boot. Of course you can always make a little script which gets executed at startup.

Greetings,
Bert
