Greetings,
Ever since I updated my system to Fedora 8, I haven't been able to use
my external MIDI keyboard or the wavetable on my sblive card via aplaymidi.
aplaymidi will usually play the first note of a song, and nothing
more. Kmid does exactly the same thing.
yet the 'aplay' command seems able to read and write to the MIDI port.
I am running 2.6.26.8-57.fc8, and I've also tried 2.6.27.13 both have
the same issue. The correct drivers do exist. I haven't noticed any
errors in the logs.
I'm hoping to finally get this resolved, and I can send whatever info is
needed.
Hello Tony.
Not sure if this is the problem you are currently facing, but:
I experienced MIDI trouble when updating to 2.6.26.3-r3: MIDI
messages out of my USB Midisport 2x2 behaved in a completely erratic
way, as was confirmed by kmidimonitor.
This was also reported on the LAT list: this message states that this
particular kernel and USB MIDI do not play well together:

I do not know if or in which kernel version this was fixed; I have
since reverted to 2.6.24.7-r17, which works fine here.
Kind regards.
