Hello,
I am using ALSA drivers version 0.9.0rc2 on Slackware Linux 8.0 kernel 2.4.18. I have compiled the tarballs (alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2.tar.gz, alsa-lib-0.9.0rc2.tar.gz, alsa-utils-0.9.0rc2.tar.gz) manually according to the instructions on the www.alsa-project.org website. Everything worked fine. Great work guys, by the way! ALSA rocks ;-). I am using two soundcards: 1) /dev/dsp0 points to my Ensoniq AudioPCI (es1370 chip) -- PCI card 2) /dev/dsp1 points to my Crystal Codec (AW37) (cx4235-xq3 chip) -- ISA card Both cards actually work FINE with either "/dev/dsp0" or "/dev/dsp1" for any digital audio output (WAVs, MP3s, CDs, etc...). I have tested them using "mpg123" and "xmms". I found out some while ago that the Ensoniq AudioPCI doesn't include an OPL3 chip to play MIDI (.MID) files using the card's internal FM synthesizer, so I've installed a second soundcard, a Crystal Codec (listed above), which DOES have an OPL3 chip. I believed it would be easy to get the FM synthesizer to work with another soundcard... BUT... The BIG PROBLEM is that I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET MIDI (.MID) FILES TO PLAY using the OPL3 chip (FM synthesizer). I've been trying very hard (over 15 hours over two days :-), but did not succeed yet... "PMIDI" seems to be playing midi files, but not music is heard from the FM synthesized (YES, I know about the mixer controls, I have unmuted ALL of them and set them to MAXIMUM VOLUME)... I've decided to collect informations about my setup and send an email to the alsa-development mailing list after subscribing, hoping someone could help me... Maybe you guys have an idea about this problem (???). I have read a LOT of posts but couldn't find a solution to my problem. NOTE: I have successfully used Timidity to play midi files using the Ensoniq's DSP chip, but this is SLOW and monopolizes the DSP chip so it can't be used simultaneously to play WAV sound effects (I would like to play old games like "LinuxDOOM" where *BOTH* sound effects and midi music are required to be playing simultaneously...). That's why I'd like to get the Crystal Codec's FM synthesizer to play MIDI files, but I can't get it to work (!!). I am using PMIDI: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmidi/pmidi-1.5.4.tar.gz. I couldn't compile this small tarball (broken?!?) so I used a quick "rpm -i pmidi-1.5.4-1.i386.rpm --nodeps" to install the RPM version since I had already all dependencies -- pretty standard -- installed as tarballs on my machine. The RPM version can be obtained from...: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmidi/pmidi-1.5.4-1.i386.rpm. I have tested the Crystal Codec ISA card under Windows 98, and using appropriate Win98 drivers, the card *CAN* simultaneously play MIDI and MP3 files... So why couldn't it be possible under Linux (???). Attached to this email are VERY DETAILED informations about my system's and ALSA's files... Thanks in advance for your help, this will be *GREATLY* appreciated! HELP !!! :-) -- Jeannot Langlois [EMAIL PROTECTED] Informations attached to this message in file "slackware80_machine_info.txt".
