Hi Ben,

I got the same thing from sndstat. OSS/Free didn't use sndstat. I'm waiting to hear from Joseph about his hack of s_linux.c before I contact OSS about this. I'll let you know when and if I hear anything from either of them. BTW, do you run JAZZ or some other sequencer? If so, could you test if MIDI in and out work on both of those? If you already have, please let me know.

Regards, Tim

Hello Tim,

sorry it took me so long to get to it but I did try tweaking the midiindev and midioutdev options. I get the same results as you either one or the other but never both.

Also I noticed that under /dev/sndstat there is one Midi device 0 nammed:

Midi devices: 0: AudioPCI97

Did OSS/Free report the same thing? (did OSS/Free even have sndstat?)

Hope that helps!

let me know what comes from OSS.

Ben

Ben,

I'll write them very soon. I have been investigating a few things that haven't panned out, so I am collecting information that I need to contact their Tech Support. I think the stuff you were talking about had to do only with wavetable synths, at least that's how I read it. I found nothing about external devices not working, but I may have missed somthing.

BTW, did you try doing what I talked about in my last e-mail? I'd be interested in knowing if you got the same result.

Best, Tim

Of course I'm just getting that stuff from memory. Take a look at the OSS install document. I guess Tim should email OSS and get the "official" answer.

Well, I guess that explains it. But I am curious about the

legitimacy

of

their claim that it is 100% compatible with OSS/Free (http://www.opensound.com/linux.html). I am still glad I got it.

The

audio

quality on my SB PCI 128 is greatly improved. Thanks for the reply.

I'm using OSS/Commercial and I too only have MIDI In and no MIDI out. This is because OSS does not support MIDI out because most card

do

not

have hardware MIDI out. If MIDI out works with your card with other programs thats because the MIDI translation is done in software, not by the card. This is what I got from OSS/Commercial documentation.

no sure about a fix, I only use MIDI in.

Greetings, Yesterday I upgraded from OSS/Free to commercial OSS. Now

MIDI

doesn't

work in PD, and apparently only PD. All other programs with

MIDI

still

work

(Brahms, Jazz, Csound). Is there anyone else using commercial

OSS

and PD

with this problem? BTW, I get the message "opened 1 MIDI input

device

and 0

MIDI output devices." This never happened under OSS/Free. Thanks.
