Hi
asking for midi game port drivers I got the answer:

"
MPU401 module is a part of alsa
just put
snd-seq-midi (if its not there) and
snd-mpu401-uart
at the bottom of the list of sound modules to load at boot
"
but I do not know which file i have to edit.
Please help me.

My sound card is in the mother board, I give you the lsmod output too
thanks in advance

you can try /etc/modules.conf (read the manpages though, you might wanna modprobe first...)

if you're running suse, you'll find that /etc/modules.conf doesn't exist. instead you can add a file or change a file in /etc/modprobe.d

in this case, it's probable that modprobe.d/sound already exists.

reading your list of lsmod, the modules appear to have already been loaded. what happens if you try to load a soundfont?

to do this, search the net for a *.sf2 file and save it under /usr/share/sounds/sf2 (for example, just so you know where it is). sometimes there already is an sf2-file there. you can load this file by typing:
asfxload <name of *.sf2 file>

if gnu/linux doesn't complain, you're in business.

once you've done that, the most important command is aseqdump so you can check to see if a signal is coming in (check man aseqdump for details). other midi commands can be found by typing

apropos midi
or
apropos alsa

(assuming apropos is correctly installed and configured)

pmidi will play a file. this may be the next thing to try, after you have the sf2-soundfont loaded. midi works over ports, so you have to find out which ports are available:

pmidi -l
and then

pmidi -p <any port number which is a WaveTable>

this works on my system, but i'm not sure how much of that is system-specific.

hope this helps
