I am trying to use the hardware wavetable midi synth
on my YMF
740C sound "card" onboard my motherboard with ALSA and MusE.
The hardware wavetable synth on YMF PCI cards isn't (yet) supported by
ALSA.
# lsmod lists snd-mp401-uart, snd-rawmidi, and
snd-opl3-lib among
the sound related modules. Can someone give me a definitive
answer as to what these modules are?
snd-mpu401-uart is the driver for the external MIDI port (you'd need a
gameport/MIDI adapter for this). snd-rawmidi is an ALSA module
handling device file management and buffering for MIDI ports.
snd-opl3-lib is the driver for the OPL3 FM synth.
I checked /proc/modules, so these three modules are
loaded, but I
can't figure out how to access them generally or through MusE.
I guess Muse uses the ALSA sequencer. Run "aconnect -o" to see a list
of output ports.
Checking /proc/asound/devices does not list any midi
devices,
Did you specifiy the parameters for snd-ymfpci in modules.conf?
(e.g. mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388)
