Hi Tim. Regarding your card. No. If it's working now, don't mess with it.
Something you could do as a last request, is have a look in lsmod, and see if
there is a module there named emu10k1_gp. This appears to be an oss module
for the gameport. I do not have that module for my Audigy2, but Laura does
have it showing in lsmod with her Audigy live Platinum. Nigel.

Hi Tim. Could you verify something? I only use my Audigy2 soundcard, and
have the onboard card disabled with the jumpers on the MOBO. Do you still
have your onboard card enabled? If so, and you're now able to play midi
files, the fact that Laura still has her onboard card enabled, has
nothing to do with her inability to play midi files.
Glad you got yours working. Nigel.
I checked my BIOS, and I currently have it set to disable audio. The
only other option is "auto", which I have no idea what it looks at to
automatically do... whatever it does.
I tried setting this option to auto, then booted into Linux.
Everything still worked fine, but it could be detecting my other sound
card and automatically disabled the onboard sound.
Anything else I should try?

OK, I did a "cat /proc/asound/card0/wavetableD1" and discovered that
the soundfont wasn't actually loading! I hadn't installed the package
containing sfxload, so my call to it was failing, and I didn't realize
it... Bingo, now it works!

S'ok. You're right that it usually is something simple, but it
never seems that way until *after* the problem is solved, when
it's easy to call it that!
<g> Yep, it was ridiculously simple... Thanks for the help!
