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 - 04-24-06 15:47 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You don't need to enable joystick port to use MIDI. http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel?fl=d26a933493fe;file=pci/ens1370.c;style=gitweb gameport module not compiled/installed in the kernel http://alsa.opensrc.org/Joystick+support ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zanonmark - 04-24-06 15:57 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry Raymond I didn't understand your last note, actually, you're right: I don't need any joystick module because I'm not going to use any joystick, but only the MIDI input/output functionality of the card, but I still can't understand why this kind of i/o is disabled by default, and how I can enable it, provided that snd_ens1371 and gameport are already loaded, well, I don't understand if there's something I can do, or if it is a bug and I have to wait for a debugged version... :) Thanks a lot, Marco Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 04-16-06 12:18 zanonmark New Issue 04-16-06 12:18 zanonmark Distribution => Ubuntu 5.10 04-16-06 12:18 zanonmark Kernel Version => 2.6.12-10 04-17-06 06:56 rlrevell Note Added: 0009301 04-17-06 07:19 Raymond Note Added: 0009303 04-17-06 19:59 zanonmark Note Added: 0009319 04-18-06 10:54 Raymond Note Added: 0009328 04-18-06 13:18 Raymond Note Edited: 0009328 04-18-06 16:28 Clemens LadischNote Added: 0009338 04-19-06 20:05 zanonmark Note Added: 0009354 04-19-06 21:49 rlrevell Note Added: 0009356 04-20-06 03:39 Raymond Note Added: 0009363 04-22-06 13:36 zanonmark Note Added: 0009433 04-24-06 15:47 Raymond Note Added: 0009452 04-24-06 15:57 zanonmark Note Added: 0009460 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
