Hi there,
I have a problem with my Media-Vision-Jazz16-Soundboard. Yes, I allready tryed
soundconfig and it played the Testsample as well, as the Testmidi ,to get it
there, I had it several times out of the maschine and plugged into other
slots, then change all IRQ's and DMA's. About the third lot that I tryed, I got
it working(I,m wondering about that, cause the manual says ,all adresses,
IRQ's and DMA's should be OK for the Board and you can change them via software
(not the adress, of course)). I was quit lucky when soundconfig worked like it
should. My audio-CD's and MP3's are running fine, all video formats (like avi)
wich have sound, are "sounding" well.
But here's the problem: no MIDI!
Non Systemnoises (I suppose now... there should be some, I'm new in Linux
and didn't wonder about it made not a beep at all, at first place. Now it
occured to me that something is wrong).
The whole problem showed to me the time I downloader a sequenzer-program.
I was not shure, weather I did the installation wrong, or my system is,so I
got a bunch of other MIDI-supporting programs, most of them are working pleny,
but with no noise at all.
As far as I remember (from my long ago attempts of learning the keyboard
playing), MIDI and SAMPLES don't have to do anything with each other, while
samples are only "converted" by the soundcard, the MIDI-sound is made by the
soundboard itself, only commanded by the MIDI Files.
So far, so good....
WHY ISN'T IT WORKING ???
And WHY is soundconfig ABLE to use the midi chip on my board, but no other
program?
TIMidity++ and timidiplay ARE INSTALLED!
