Hello,
OK, I am not familiar with this device. Is this
essentially a soundcard or is
it slightly different in some way?
No it isn't a Soundcard, it's a device
connected to the serial port to
the computer, that convert midi data in sound.
The Soundmodul isn't listet in the Alsa Support List, but it's no soundcard.
Weird.
Yes, and i can't find any reasons, or
midi-data that "reset" the midiport.
in my /etc/modules i added only :
snd-serial-u16550 port=0x2f8 irq=3
it dosen't matter if i remove this line and do it manually :
setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x2f8 irq=3
in both cases "aconnect -o" show me the port 20:0 for the snd-serial-u16550.
aplaymidi -p 20:0 song.mid
dosen't play anything ( it seems the soundmodul dosen't get any
midi-data, because the midi-data-LED dosen't blink )
a restart makes the LED blinking and i'm able to hear the music.
thanks,
Marian
