Hi, I am running Linux SuSE 6.1 (kernel 2.2.5) and I got my SB AWE64 ISA PnP to work reasonnably well (eg .wav files) but I have some pbms with Midi files (.mid). The AWE64 has already a Midi Sound bank in ROM and without loading any new sound banks via 'sfxload' I suppose I should be able to play Midi files without troubles. I have tried a whole bunch of different Midi files under W95 and they play just fine. When I try the same ones with kmidi (KDE desktop) I get no sound at all. (not entirely true, there is one midi file that plays ok except that it misses instruments. I found that by comparing with what I was hearing under W95). Loading the sound bank 'synthgm.sbk' with 'sfxload' does not improve anything... What can be wrong? /etc/conf.modules alias char-major-14 sb alias midi awe_wave post_install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" post_install awe_wave /usr/local/bin/sfxload /usr/local/lib/sfbank/synthgm.sbk options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma15=5 mpu_io=0x330 options adlib_card io=0x388 once booted, lsmod does not show any sound modules loaded but when I launch kmidi (under KDE) then the following modules are loaded: - adlib_card - opl3 - sb - uart401 - sound - soundlow - soundcore the "awe_wave" module does not get loaded I have to "modprobe -k awe_wave" to load it (although with or without this module it does not make any difference...) Also is there any software able to play all .mid, .au, .wav and .mod files? Any help more than welcome! Ciao Fred
