About MIDI, if you have the relevant packages installed, in KDE you have K - multimedia - sound - midi synthesizer. You can play the file /usr/share/sndconfig/sample.midi, that's the one sndconfig didn't let you hear ;) There is also K - multimedia - sound - midi and karaoke player. To use it click settings - midi setup and choose Yamaha opl3 - FM to use the FM synthesizer to play midi (or choose the external MIDI port if you have an exteral synthesizer). I think the quality is much less than the first program which uses sofware for sound synthesis and not the onboard hardware FM synthesizer.

[newbie] sound card problems
Hi! Ive installed Mandrake 7.2 with KDE 2.0, everything worked fine and the sound card was correctly detected and I had sound. Then I configured everything in the KDE control center and started my computer new. But then I heard no sounds anymore. Then I started drakeconf and looked under harddrake. I have a 128i-PCI Terratec-Soundcard. Harddrake recognizes : Modell : es1969 solo-1 audiodrive Kernel Modul : snd-card-es1938. If I start the detection, it chooses the same again, but when it plays the sound samples I hear nothing. There are no error messages, Aurora initializes the sound drivers correctly. At the console I tried modprobe \* and I got following message: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/block/xd.0: init_module: The device or the ressource is busy (or occuppied, sorry I dont know the correct term for "belegt" in Englisch.) hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/block/xd.o : insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/block/xd.o failed Ive removed the soundcard, started Linux without it and then I put it in again and booted again. There were no errors but it doesnt work. The card works under windows without problems. Btw, I tried sndconfig and it found the card but then I got the message that my card is not supported. With sndconfig --noprobe and choosing another card manually I get error messages. Is there someone who knows how to fix this? My computer: Pentium II 350 MMX (dont ask me about my motherboard, sorry, I havent got the manuals at hand) Diamond Viper 330 64 MB RAM Soundcard : see above Thank you, Oliver Gruenewald

Does anyone out there have a solution on configuring my sound card? Itx's a SB AUDIOPCI 64D made in conjuction w/ Ensoniq. The number I get is ES1373 but I don't have this in my system. Where can I get it?? The sound card is integrated onto the motherboard.
