Hi there. I've recently replaced my motherboard, to a PC Partner one with the VIA Technologies VT82C686 chipset. That motherboard has an on-board VIA AC97 sound adapter, and I wanted to get it to work. I compiled the alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, and loaded the appropriate drivers, including the OSS compatibility modules (snd-pcm-pss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss). Everything seems to be working, except MIDI. When I try to play a MIDI file, e.g. with playmidi or some program like that, I get no error message, but I hear no sound either. I tried to check all the modules, and I have them loaded (snd-seq-midi, snd-seq-oss, snd-seq-midi-event, snd-seq). When I checked the alsamixer settings, I don't even see a meter for MIDI there. When I try to cat some file into /dev/sequencer, the cat process just hangs.
Any idea what the problem might be? I really want to get MIDI working.
