Dear all,
I've been trying the last few days to get my midi keyboard connected to the
midi port of my CMI8738. This works unders Windows XP but I would also like
to have it working under Linux, so I am seeking your help.
The sound chip is integrated on my mainboard and I have recently installed
Suse 7.3 and configured sound with YaST2. It recognizes the chip, uses the
'cmipci' driver and gets the sound part working fine. With the options I
have indicated that the MPU-401 port should be used and gave it the default
io-port 0x330 (which it also has under Windows). I also checked the boxes
for ''start Alsa" and "start sequencer" and all the modules such as snd-seq,
snd-seq-midi, snd-seq-midi-event, snd-mpu401-uart, snd-rawmidi,
snd-seq-device et cetera appear in /proc/modules. The program 'aconnect'
shows me that there are indeed external midi ports defined , but when I
check for signals on the midi port by recording something or with 'aseqview'
I see no movement whatsoever.
Does anybody have a clue about what is causing this? I am by no means an
expert on this but I somehow expected some interrupt to be claimed by the
midi port (it's IRQ 10 under Windows) but I don't see that being done under
Linux. Or is there some magical alias statement that is missing in my
'modules.conf'? I also installed some modules ('joydev', 'adi', 'analog',
'gameport', 'input') for using the game port for my joystick Might they be
the problem? Or was the fact that the MPU401 option wasn't checked by
default by YaST a subtle hint that the cmipci driver hasn't implemented midi
yet?
If you need more information from me, I'll be happy to supply it but since I
don't have an internet connection at home this takes some time.
Kind regards,
-- Jan Hidders
