Hi, I'm very new to Linux, I have RH9 and i use Alsa with the
2.4.20-18.1caps kernal. I used apt to install everything from planet ccrma.
I have a P4 1.9 and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. I have 2 main problems:
1. I cannot hear midi. I can play black a file and get level on the midi
meters but I get no sound. I tried all the settings in the alsamixer, then
I checked for something like the 401 synth that comes up in windows, but had
no luck. Also, none of the midi applications show a midi synth present or
addable.
I did serveral other probes and still found nothing that i reconized as a
synth.
here is the sound stuff from the lsmod:

2. Jack will not load. I did not install the optomized kernal or the low
latency patch because of my inexpierence. So maybe that is it. If I have
to install the patch will i need to also reinstall alsa/my sound apps?
Anyway, Here is my jack error:
