Sorry if I'm annoying you, but I haven't enough money to buy a wrong card

The only such cards are the ones supported by the snd-emu10k1 driver.

The description was correct, but just because a card has a feature, you
can't assume that ALSA supports it, because most vendors don't give us
the needed specs.

Hi,
I have a Ensoniq Card here. It uses snd-ens1371, but as far I know, it
doesn't have a onboard synth, too...
My USB keyboard hasn't any noticeable latency, but I still have ~250
ms with qsynth.
Maybe because I'm running a PIII 800...
My dist is Gentoo, my kernel 2.6.14-ck6.
I bought this Vivanco-card, because the hompage tells me about a
onboard wavetable synth.
So I don't trust descriptions any more.
Would be very very nice, if somebody simply told me the name/a link of
a card, wich plays midi without a software synth.

Thanks so far,
Lorenz

P.S.: sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand it... ;)

This describes all emu10k1 based cards like the Sound Blaster Live! and
Audigy 1 and 2 exactly.  Make sure not to get the crippled "SBLive! 24
bit" - your best bet is a good old SBLive! 5.1 OEM.

Hi Lorenz. Sorry for misleading you into thinking you could load soundfonts 
onto the Vivanco card. My Audigy2 soundblaster was quite expensive, about £80 
UK, but uses the emu10k1 driver, so there is no problem loading soundfonts. 
There are some quite cheap Audigy cards, but you need to make sure that the 
one you buy uses, or is able to use, the emu10k1 driver so as to be able to 
load soundfonts. Perhaps someone on the list would suggest one of the cheaper 
cards that uses EMU. Nigel.

Hi Nigel, hi list,

I decided to give up and to buy a new card.
I need a card which costs less than 25 €(Euro), plays MIDI without problems and 
in a good qualiti and is complitliy compatible with alsa.
Which one should I choose?
I don't want to buy a wrong again, you understand?

Thanks so far,
bye,
Lorenz

Hi Lee. In /usr/share/alsa/cards. But I may be looking in the wrong directory, 
and they are all .conf files. The only other place I can find emu10k1 is in.
/lib/modules/2.6.10-0.4.rdt.rhfc2.ccrma/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1. there are 
three object code files here. snd-emu10k1.ko, snd-emu10k1-synth.ko, and 
snd-emu10k1x.ko which I believe is the card used on Dell computers. I think 
perhaps I am in the correct directory here, as apart from subdirectories for 
emu10k1, ice1712, trident,etc, I have some files, and one of these is 
snd-cmipci.ko. I presume that this is the directory that the module 
snd-cmipci is being loaded from, if I had a soundcard requiring that driver.

This is all a bit academic, but I'd like to understand a bit more about Alsa, 
where the the souncard drivers are, etc. Nigel.

Those are not the names of ALSA drivers, ALSA drivers have names like
snd-emu10k1 and snd-cmipci.  Where are you seeing those?

Hi Lorenz. It sounds like your card is like my Audigy2 soundblaster then. You 
will need to load a soundfont onto the card. If you have the cdrom for the 
card, the soundfont (.sf2) should be somewhere on it, and you'll need to copy 
it to your home directory. If you havn't got the cdrom, you can get GM 
(General Midi) soundfonts from, http://www.hammersound.net . To load the 
soundfont you will need the package "awesfx" which may or may not already be 
installed. Then on the CLI, run, "sfxload " 
without the double quotes. If you cannot load soundfonts onto the card, you 
could always use Qsynth, which is the front end to fluidsynth, and load a 
soundfont into that.
Incidentally. Which distro, and desktop are you using? If you're using KDE, I 
have a small script you can use to autoload the soundfont onto the card.

Let us know how you get on. Nigel.
