I've got it connected to the game/MIDI port on my soundcard, but no dice. Nothing I've tried has enabled my system to even notice that it's there. I've tried modprobing a number of different modules, but to no avail. arecordmidi results in empty files being generated. I'm running kernel 2.6.9-1.667 Soundcard: CMI 8738 using module snd-cmipci I'm also running ALSA, of course, without any of the OSS emulation. I have no problems with audio from CD's, OGG's or DVD's, even on multiple channels. I do *not* have a /dev/dsp, /dev/sequencer or /dev/midi even though audio works. Why this is the case, I don't know. I can play .mid files using timidity++ sans problem. Here's my modprobe.conf: alias eth0 forcedeth alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd alias snd_pcm_oss off alias snd_mixer_oss off alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci alias snd-slot-0 snd-cmipci alias net-pf-10 off And here's the output of lsmod |grep snd snd_seq_midi 8033 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8385 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 56785 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_mpu401 6545 2 snd_cmipci 35173 1 snd_pcm 97993 1 snd_cmipci snd_page_alloc 9673 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib 11201 1 snd_cmipci snd_timer 29765 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep 9413 1 snd_opl3_lib gameport 4801 1 snd_cmipci snd_mpu401_uart 8769 2 snd_mpu401,snd_cmipci snd_rawmidi 26725 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8137 4 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd 54053 16 snd_seq,snd_mpu401,snd_cmipci,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib ,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,s nd_seq_device soundcore 9889 1 snd aconnect -lio outpus the following: client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 72: 'MPU-401 UART MIDI - Rawmidi 1' [type=kernel] 0 'MPU-401 UART MIDI' Were I to run timidity as a server, I get 4 additional ports (128:0..128:3) listed as writable, not as readable. pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid will play a midi file if timidity's running. If I use aconnect to connect 72:0 to 128:0, I can't play any midi files thru either port. I'm probably missing something very fundamental, but if I don't ask, I'll never get it sorted.
