Re: [expert] SB Live Synth?
Yeah, unfortunately I stumbled upon the Midi configuration issue while poking around in the newer ALSA and Kernel sources. I noticed that there is full support for the Midi Synth in the later kernels, but that Mandrake did not seem to configure things properly by default. After much trial and error I first saw the midi devices appear in KDE, then I tried to start cleanly and get back to where I saw them again. This led to the terse doc I put up. Anyway my /etc/modules.conf file looks like this Thanks; I'll dig into some more later tonight. Make sure I have all these alias, etc. Appreciate the help, Jose. /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound uses the auxmix settings in /etc/.auxmixrc created by saving the AUXMIX mixer settings. You might want to also look at this file so you can spot where initialization is taking place... Also look at /etc/sysconfig/alsa and /etc/sysconfig/sound.

Re: [expert] SB Live Synth?
I don't use Mdk's kernel; I compile my own, since I need Win4Lin kernel patches, and Mdk doesn't come with those kernel patches. And there are no RPMs for the latest version of ALA that I could find - only for the older 0.5 version, so you have to compile the latest ALSA yourself. Also, I believe ALSA itself is working, else I'd hear no sound from any app, since ALSA is what is providing the sound card drivers, correct? Had the same problem using Mdk's 2.4.13 kernel - no MIDI. It's not that big a deal, since I hardly ever use that feature. Just thought it weird that all the other parts seem to work, but not the MIDI. - Original Message - From: Jose M.

Re: [expert] SB Live Synth?
Hi Jose, NOPE! That's not a good soundfont. I get no sound output when I attempt to use this font. It is probably formatted for the software synth player and Ohhh! Thanks Jose! I grabbed my 8 meg GM sound font that I had used previously (that came with the card), and everything works fine! Now if only 8.2 would just include a working sound font, and properly setup the soundcard (including doing a post-install sfxload soundfont... in the modules.conf), it would be perfect. ;-) Thanks so much Jose, I'm really happy to have MIDI working again. :-D -Tim -- -- Timothy R.

RE: [expert] SB Live Synth?
It works great. Follow my enclosed directions... --- SNIP --- I'm quoting my own message(s) to someone else about this who also had their SB Live misconfigured... The key is to remove ALL memory resident modules and references to them in /etc/modules.conf... Then after everything is cleared from RAM and the files, reconfigure the SBLive from the Mandrake Control Panel, and NOT from sndconfig. This greatly affects the configuration for the SBLive, and even gets the sound fonts Midi Synth to work properly!!!
