Unfortunately, while PCM works fine and /dev/midi is created, I see no MIDI communication through /dev/midi. /proc/asound/AudioPCI/audiopci reports that the joystick port is disabled. It is probably a bug on the Ubuntu side (did they forget to compile the driver correctly?), but I'd like to see a parameter for enabling the joystick port "on the fly": other drivers have one (e.g.: "joystick=1"), but snd_ens1371 has not, so: 1) it is not possible to reload (rmmod and modprobe) the driver with that parameter enabling the midi/joystick port manually, 2) it is not possible to save (alsactl store), modify and reload (alsactl restore) the soundcard settings, because I see no such parameter to modify. So, will you please include such a parameter in the next version of the driver? Thanks a lot, Marco. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 04-18-06 13:18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It seem that joystick is not working on ens1371 https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1774 Could you try 0x218 ? Do your joystick require specific module ? (joydev, analog, gameport) Are those io ports already used by other hardware ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Clemens Ladisch - 04-18-06 16:28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You do not need to enable the joystick port; the MIDI functionality of the game port is completely independent from that. You do not need snd-mpu401, it's only used for mainboard game ports and for separate MPU-401-compatible cards. The ENS1371 chip is not MPU-401 compatible. The MIDI port is always enabled, and should work. What is the output of "amidi -l"?
