Hello interested people,

Thanks for coming to read my blog, I hope you get some helpfull info here, or that you just leave a message if you feel like doing so.

You can read more about me personally on <a href="http://www.freakrush.net">www.freakrush.net</a> or download some mp3 songs or .wav drumloops ...

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu again after a failed attempt to install 64studio (the 32bit version) and a failed attempt to install Fedora Core 5, there seems to be a problem with the first cd I burnt.

I also just finished reading chapter1 of the great <strong>Introduction to Linux</strong> book. If Ubuntu is not too easy to install, then I also passed my first exercise :-)
(Waw, I can click yes and ok)

My pc is a Dell Optiplex GX110, PentiumIII Coppermine 866Mhz, 320MB SDRAM PC133,
80GB ATA HDD, s3virge graphics 64MB, M-Audio Delta 1010 soundcard, M-Audio Midisport 2x2 usb midiport.
Currently I don't know how to install and configure the 2 M-Audio's but when I do lspci I get my Delta listed, lsusb also recognises the midisport.

Installing M-Audio Midisport 2x2 : just follow <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96506">this How-to</a>
(In short) :

sudo -i
cd /tmp

# then get firmware from the 'usbmidi' package
wget http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/bin/usbmidi-20040829.tar.gz

# unpack
tar xvzf usbmidi-20040829.tar.gz

# to simplify the instructions copy the firmware to /etc/firmware
mkdir /etc/firmware
cp usbmidi-20040829/testing/MidiSport/ezusbmidi1x1.ihx /etc/firmware/

# install fxload if not yet installed
apt-get install fxload

# find out what bus and device id the midisport has
lsusb

# load the firmware (change "003" with your bus number and "004" with your device number , found from lsusb
fxload -I /etc/firmware/ezusbmidi1x1.ihx -D /proc/bus/usb/003/004

On <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96506">the page</a> I also found a script for loading the midisport .

With "Alacarte menu editor" I added a new menu-item with the command "sudo /usr/local/bin/midisportsetup" set to open up in a terminal.

I also added one with the command "sudo modprobe snd-seq-midi" that I need to make Alsa find the /dev/snd/seq .

... thanks a lot Yaaarrrgg !

Because I have 3 soundcards (the onboard, the Delta 1010 and the Midisport 2x2) , I needed to configure a default one .
After installing Ubuntu , it was the onboard soundcard .
But I found the easy way to change that >>>

#to see the possible outputs I did
sudo asoundconf list

>> I got this :
Names of available sound cards:
I82801AAICH
M1010
M2x2

#then I did
asoundconf set-default-card M1010

et voila , the default soundcard is now the one I prefer.
who said Linux is difficult ?
