Re: Re: [linux-audio-user] Debian 2.6.14 alsa problems - Linux-audio-user

Hello,
   I'm having exactly the same problem with my emu10k1 (SBLive 5.1)
sound card.  All the MIDI programs I try seem to _think_ they're
working... but still no sound!  (Other audio works fine, though.)  I
have used the SuSE and Fedora distros, but same thing.
   Any other ideas?

 I have that.  As far as I know, all the modules are loaded correctly,
 and when I say "pmidi -l", I get:

  Port     Client name                       Port name
  62:0     Midi Through                      Midi Through Port-0
  64:0     EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)            EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)
  65:0     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 0
  65:1     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 1
  65:2     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 2
  65:3     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 3

 But when I say "pmidi -p 65:0 score.midi", it looks like it's trying
 to play, but I don't hear any sound.  ("timidity score.midi" plays
 fine, and I've used asfxload to load a soundfont.)

 It may well be a mixer problem, but I've unmuted and raised the volume
 on everything that looks at all plausible.
