[Alsa-user] sblive: gameport, midi devices, midi ports, gmidimon
Title: sblive: gameport, midi devices, midi ports, gmidimon hi, problem: get midi in/out (externally) of my sblive. in the past, i've used the midi/game port for external midi. lspci shows that it's there: 00:0d.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 01) Subsystem: Creative Labs Gameport Joystick Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 I/O ports at 7000 [size=8] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 pmidi -l shows that i have UART 72:0 Rawmidi 1 - EMU10K1 MPU-401 (U EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) question: is this the game port? if so, how do you know? if not, what is it? assuming it's the game port (big assumption), i wanted to see if i can monitor midi events to/from it. i've got a running copy of gmidimon, which is supposed to monitor midi events according to "midi input" which it lists by device, e.g: /dev/snd/midiC1D0 /dev/snd/midiC1D1 /dev/snd/midiC1D2 cat /proc/asound/devices lists three "raw midi" devices which i believe correspond to those available in gmidimon: 40: [1- 0]: raw midi 41: [1- 1]: raw midi 42: [1- 2]: raw midi i'd thought to use pmidi to send events to the UART port (72:0), like: pmidi -p72:0 somefile.mid and then monitor the corresponding device (/dev/snd/midiC1D0??) with gmidimon. but a) i'm not sure which *device* UART corresponds to (if it does at all), and b) i've tried monitoring all of the possible devices, and gmidimon displays nothing. the larger question is: how to troubleshoot and get my midi/game port working if possible? the smaller question is: how do i know which midi *ports* correspond to which midi *devices* (if they actually correspond at all). many thanks in advance if you even get *through* this post. sheesh. hawkeye parker

Title: RE: [Alsa-user] emu10k1 midi failing. why?
clemens,
many thanks for your reply. indeed, a 0 volume mixer control ("Music") was the culprate. your advice to check /proc/asound/card/wavetableD was *very* helpful in determining that the soundfount was actually being correctly installed. if you can believe it, i just hadn't actually stumbled on the alsa wiki pages, which obviously hold much gold.
anyhow, i (and every newbie out there) truly thank you for your dogged attention to the list.

lsmod tells us the modules are loaded.
"pmidi -l" tells us the MIDI ports are there.
How did you run sfxload? Does it output any error message?
Did you play to one of the wavetable ports? (The MPU-401 is the
external port.)
Did you unmute and raise the volume of all relevant mixer controls?
Please look into the file /proc/asound/card?/wavetableD? to see if
sfxload worked (it should say something about memory and instruments).
Additionally, some instrument/samples should be locked while playing.

This relates to the second external MIDI port, not to the wavetable
synthesizer.

I uset the madfu loader, but alter it by removing the line resetting the usb device which destroys the computer operating system (it intalls a terminal cancer which gradually consumes the whole operating system).i Having loadee the firmware, I then do a complete usb shutdown, and bring usb back up. (Under mandrake 9.1, I use the usb stop service, but edit /etc/init.d/usb file to have stop actually stop and unload the usb driver) Also using the latest driver together with Takashi's latest patch for the Transit, and everything works fine. See www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/transit.html for a detailed description. While the procedure is a real kludge, it makes the transit quite useable-- ie I can plug it in, wait a minute and use it with no problems thereafter. And if I knew of a way of having the program /etc/init.d/usb run separately from the calling hotplug shell program without using at, it could be up and running much faster than a minute. > > > It has the ability to set a continuous range of speeds from 8K to > > 48K.

Doing further investigation, I discovered that it is the fft that is taking forever making the program look like it has crashed-- nothing to do with the oss. (the factors of 44102 are 2 and 22051 which makes the fft not fast at all.) Sorry for the false alarm. > > > Regards, > Clemens > > -- William G.

I sent a follow up message to my threads last night plotting my progress but, like an idiot, it came from my home address and is waiting for moderation because that address is not subscribed to the list :( The gist of it is, I HAVE to play to plug:spdif to get any kind of pcm sound out of the coax spdif out. spdif SHOULD be the same as hw:3.0 on my card. probing in proc shows that 3.0.0's state flips to ACTIVE when I play to spdif so I KNOW thats the hardware device. However, if I play to plug:hw:3.0 or plain old hw:3.0 I get nothing out of the spdif. I have no clue as to why this would be. Anyone else know?

[Alsa-user] alsa-0.9.8 and buildin pnp: how to block an interrupt for pnp usage?
Hi there, I plugged an old ISA es18xx Soundcard in one of my linux-boxes the other day, using alsa-0.9.8 and the buildin pnp capability. Now I got the problem, that on bootup alsa claims IRQ 5 which is needed for my faxmodem. - However the latter is initialized later than alsa. If I unload and restart alsasound later manually, it picks a non-conflickting IRQ. Having spent quite some time browsing through all the manual stuff, I have not found any options that refer to the functionality of the buildin pnp-support. The only hint I got is "options isapnp isapnp_reserve_irq" but I'm not sure whether this is for buildint or isapnptools pnp support. Anyway, I'd be quite grateful for a hint how to tell alsa *NOT* to use IRQ 5 ... Thanks a lot in advance! Stefan. --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
