intel 8x0 MIDI

intel 8x0 MIDI

[Allan Klinbail]

Hi All

In trying to test MMC response on various software I have discovered  my
SiS 645 DX, doesn't seem to see MIDI. 

The manual for the motherboard says it should, and the modules.conf
configuration does show that the intel8x0 midi port does exist,
(specifically MusE recognises it as MIDI port, also teste with ardour
for MMC response) 

However this device does not see any MIDI input, including MMC.

Has anyone had this successfully working either with a SiS 645DX
motherboard, or simply a soundcard with this chip? Alternatively, is
there something wrong with my configuration? (I have checked the BIOS
and confirmed it is using 330 as the address for the mpu port. 


cheers

i'm afraid that the MIDI i/o isn't supported by intel8x0 driver for
the SIS chips.  possibly you can load snd-mpu401 driver additionally
with a proper module parameter.  it might work, or might not work.
if it doesn't work, the chip likely needs an extra initialization
(which is not documented).

i can try later on my machine at home, too, which has an onboard SIS
chip.  but IIRC it didn't work...
