which modules have you loaded? is your interface listed in aconnect -li ?
[pdman@musicbox pdman]$ aconnect -li client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce '
about drove myself insane before someone suggested loading snd-seq-midi, this was after loading: snd-seq, snd-rawmidi, snd-virmidi, snd-seq-oss, etc......
I have no rawmidi module! What do I have to enable to get my kernel build to include this? [pdman@musicbox linux]$ cat .config | grep RAWMIDI CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=y except... [pdman@musicbox pdman]$ ls -lR /lib/modules/2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3/kernel/ | grep snd-seq -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15358 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-device.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7868 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-dummy.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 85046 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13738 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-midi-event.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14178 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-midi.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13106 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-virmidi.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57519 Oct 21 19:07 snd-seq-oss.ko [pdman@musicbox pdman]$ ls -lR /lib/modules/2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3/kernel/ | grep snd-rawmidi [pdman@musicbox pdman]$ ls -lR /lib/modules/2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3/kernel/ | grep snd-virmidi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8868 Oct 21 19:07 snd-virmidi.ko
if it is listed in aconnect, you should be able to get it via mididev. make sure youve turned on oss emulation and configured alsa --with-sequencer as well..
Im using alsa built into the kernel...
How do I get the rawmidi module, if indeed this is where Im getting hung up on? [pdman@musicbox pdman]$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.9-rc3-mm3-VP-T3/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
Thanks for the help! -thewade
