There are virtually no modern soundcards usable in Linux which have an internal synthesizer. (mostly I think the same is valid for other OSes) These days most people use a software based synthesizer, e.g. Fluidsynth or Timidity for basic playback. If you want a pro solution they may be too limited. I suppose you want to playback sound from a sequencer or midi player. Just startup the software synthesizer make sure it is routed to the soundcard, connect it to the player and you should get sound. /Robert > Thanks for answers! > Cédric. > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
