I believe that the OSS/Free drivers do NOT support the wavetable on the AWE cards so you have to use FM synthesis to play MIDI. I know that if you purchase the OSS driver for the AWE cards with the EMU8000 (wavetable) extension from the makers of the OSS drivers (4front-tech) that the wavetable will be fully supported and you won't need isapnptools for your sound card at all. Nor will you need sound support compiled into your kernel. --- Ricardo Peres wrote: > Yep, thanks, I had already found! > By the way, my MIDI sound is not very good...
