I'm new to fluid-dev. I use Ubuntu Studio (9.04, Jaunty), and I have an external sound card: Edirol UA-25EX (hw:1) and of course my laptop internal soundcard (hw:0)
I can start fluidsynth with jack audio driver, no matters if I configure jack with my internal device (hw:0) or my external device (hw:1): $ fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a jack -l soundfont.sf2 I can start fluidsynth with alsa audio driver, connecting to my internal device (hw:0): $ fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a alsa -o audio.alsa.device='hw:0' -l soundfont.sf2 But I can't start fluidsynth with alsa audio driver, connecting to my external device (hw:1): $ fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a alsa -o audio.alsa.device='hw:1' -l soundfont.sf2 and the reason is: fluidsynth: error: Failed to find a workable audio format trying with QSynth I can choose two sample formats: 16bits and float >From fluidsynth -o help I think that the parameter to configure is: audio.sample-format STR [def='16bits'] Any ideas? I want to test all my hardware and code with JACK and without JACK, directly to ALSA. Really JACK is a nice thing, but I ask if there are benefits to use ALSA directly, avoiding the JACK layer.
