nForce2 - still no solution for MIDI playback ???

[Max77]

Hi guys.

I've got a Asus A7N8X400 based system.
Just installed FC2, set up the new (4k-stack-patched) graphics drivers, everything works fine... except MIDI playback.
KMid plays something, but no sound at all... :(
aplaymidi shows 1 MIDI device on port 64:0, tries to play something, but... no sound either...

If you guys managed to get MIDI working on a similar system, please describe your way and post /etc/modprobe.conf...

Thanx in advance.

i wanted midi too but never got around to playing with it. I don't have a midi device it seems.

I did get timidity midi playback on an Abit NF7-S (nforce2). The key for me was to use the virtural midi player in the kernel.

I added the following to my /etc/modprobe.conf file and it works.
# Configure card 1 (second card) as a virtual MIDI card
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi

I am using a kernel.org 2.6.7 kernel on a Fedora Core 2 base system. Give it a go and see if it helps....
