Dear list,
For further investigation, I've commented out the snd-virmidi entries in the
/etc/modprobe.conf, rebooted, and checked:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [V8235 ]: VIA8233 - VIA 8235
VIA 8235 with ALC202 at 0x1000, irq 18
1 [modem ]: VIA82XX-MODEM - VIA 82XX modem
VIA 82XX modem at 0x1400, irq 18
(snd-via82xx-modem is not in my modprobe.conf, I wonder how it got there. IRQ
18 looks bad, but will try to handle it later). Since cards 0 and 1 are
allocated, I try this (and get a nice Seg-fault):
[root@rumba ~]# modprobe snd-virmidi index=2
Segmentation fault
It however it is enlisted:
[root@rumba ~]# lsmod | grep snd

(I wonder what happened to snd-via82xx-modem). Still no midi in /dev/snd,
acconect -io now gives
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
[root@rumba ~]#
Any suggestions how to make snd-virmidi work?
Thanks,
