 Sound again Yes, I have an ES1371 card and yes, it used to work under Slackware 10. But I reinstalled Slack for reasons not pertinent here. Now systems sounds work but the Kmidi player doesn't. It acts like it is playing a song but no sound comes out. Yes, I went to kmix and ran the volume up and muted the second checkblock for IEC958 to get rid of the hiss. I ran alsaconf. I commented out all the stuff in modules.conf relating to OSS. I ran control center and down at the button where it says "Test Sound" I get the startup sound but on the similar block that says "Test Midi" I get nothing. I have an extra partition. should I install a fresh Slack there and then do whatever magic steps are necessary? BTW what are the magic steps for playing midi files? And why, after all these years, doesn't sound work out of the box? John Culleton      |

For midi I believe you need the sequencer component loaded. Do the modules loaded include the sequencer, e.g. snd-seq-oss? Note that you may need the OSS emulation module loaded to get at this sequencer, not sure, I don't use midi. The page for that card provides this for the alsa section of modules.conf: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss HTH - JB -------------------------------------------- John Bleichert - syborg@earthlink.net "The meek shall inherit nothing." - FZ |

You might consider sticking with OSS instead - I have an ES1371 card in one of my boxes, and could never get the sound to work properly with ALSA. With OSS, I have had no problems. |
