Hi, I have this error that I don't know how to fix. I was using Craig Stuart Sapp's Midiio library to control the Emu10k1 wave-table synth. It *was* working until I reinstalled my linux system. I have put evrything back the way it was, and now I get these errors when I use the Midiio library: -- ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D3 failed: No such device ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D4 failed: No such device ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D5 failed: No such device ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D6 failed: No such device ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:227:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D7 failed: No such device -- I know I should have backed up my previous working configuration, but I didn't. One thing that has changed is that I'm using alsa-0.9.6 now, and before I was using the previous alsa (0.9.4?). I've put the output of : 'pmidi -l' and 'aconnect -o' at the bottom. Here's my questions: Whats the correlation between the /dev/snd/midi* devices and the alsa/Emu10k1 wavetable ports? Where can I get more info regarding the alsa/wave-table/sequencer issues? Can I use aconnect and/or virmidi-devices to fix the above errors? Or, can someone reccomend a C/C++ library/example that will show me how to write to the alsa wave-table devices? If my questions are lacking detail, what can else can I provide? If my questions are off-topic where should I go? I've STFW. I've tried to RTFM, but there isn't one. I definitely would like to GAFC. (Im *NOT* criticizing linux-audio/alsa, I'm making light of my lack of knowledge :] ) *ANY* input would be greatly appreciated. I realize that my question is a little under-developed, but I've been sitting on this problem for a while now, and I can't get anywhere. //------------------------------------------------------------------- <wise@krsanky0~/sound_prg/midio> aconnect -o client 64: 'Rawmidi 0 - EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)' [type=kernel] 0 'EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)' client 65: 'Emu10k1 WaveTable' [type=kernel] 0 'Emu10k1 Port 0 ' 1 'Emu10k1 Port 1 ' 2 'Emu10k1 Port 2 ' 3 'Emu10k1 Port 3 ' //------------------------------------------------------------------- <wise@krsanky130~/sound_prg/midio> pmidi -l Port Client name Port name 64:0 Rawmidi 0 - EMU10K1 MPU-401 (U EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 0 65:1 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 1 65:2 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 2 65:3 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 3 -- paul \ / wisehart >/ <//////$> |\|\|\
