Hi gang!
Running 5.1 with Gnome as the default desktop, but have installed KDE too so I can run kde apps.
Kmidi is the default midi player, so if I click on a midi file in firefox it brings up KMIDI.
Actually, it's KMID, not KMIDI.
KMIDI goes merrily along playing the file, but I get NO SOUND.
My motherboard has built in audio but it's disabled and I"m using an old Audiopci 128 card which seems to work fine for everything else. (Why? because it sounds MUCH better than the ac97 junk)
Clues for making midi work?
Looks as if it may be that KMID expects there to be either hardware support for midi (which this sound card does not provide--it's es1371) or a midi-to-something-else converter, such as timidity++ which also isn't present.
Seems strange that the system would install KMID without the other tools it needs...
Anyway, I don't seem to be able to find a RH5/Centos5-compatible timidity++ build anywywere. I tried recently to build it and gave up with a series of errors that I didn't have the ambition to work around. Anyone know where I can find a suitable RPM for Timidity++?
Gracias!
Thanks!
