Hi Eduardo,
A question, did you load any soundfonts?
The SB-Live soundcard has built in synth capabilities but no internal
sounds. You have to load a soundfont with the utility sfxload (available
in the aweutils package). This also implies that you need to setup
OSS-compatibility support in ALSA since the awe utils use that.
I would also advice you to install a newer version of muse, check
rpm.nyvalls.se/sounds9.1.html.
Regards,
Robert

Thanks, now it's working. I did try to load a soundfont, but I had each
track strip turned off. The button seems pushed when it's off, contrary
to my belief.
For the moment it's just playing what I've recorded, is there a way to
play live with the soundfont sounds?
Later today I will try a newer muse version, as Robert suggests.
Thank you,
Eduardo.
Hi, I'm on my first attempt at midi on Linux.
I'm using MusE
0.6.0pre5 in Mandrake 9.1. I think I can start jack in a root
console, but I guess for a simple test it isn't necessary, so I start
muse and I get the GUI. I managed to record some notes but if I press
play on the transport I don't hear anything. I'm using a sblive
platinum and, for setting levels I'm using Alsa-Mixer GUI and for
connections I'm using Alsa Patch Bay. I have been tweaking everything
and haven't got any sound. It surely works since I can use XMMS and
also I can load and hear midi tracks on KMidi.
In my MusE Midi Port Table I have port 1, generic midi, going to the
device EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) and the state shows as OK. Trying with
different settings I have seen a message about DEVICE PLAYING or
similar but can't remember what I did.
On MusE the black activity meter is moving and mute cell has a green
LED (?) on, I don't know if its on why I see such activity. But
anyway I don't get any sound with it turned on or off.
Any help would be appreciated,
Eduardo
