hi there - having trouble getting midi to work with a multiface/cardbus combination on gentoo linux
midi works with 0.37.4 but not with 0.38.4 devel.
have configured 0.38.4 devel with --enable-newhash --enable-jack --enable-optimize=pentium4 --enable-threadedsf --enable-atomic --enable-debug
Have seen a few references to snd-virmidi but had trouble loading the module for some reason. Is it necessary to use virmidi?
Another question: is there a way of restoring mixer levels without running hdspmixer?
cheers, iain
hi iain,
devel support alsa midi binding. this means that if you're using qjackctl, you'll see pure data midi in/out. just connect the midi from the soundcard to pd.

thanks patrick - yes that works. My only problem is i'm experiencing audio glitches when using jack (think this may be related to an error one of my externals - but too big a job to fix for the present). As the hdsp seems to work well now using alsa without jack, i'm hoping to get midi going in alsa mode.
cheers, iain
