Geode & Sound

Sep 08, 2004 0 Replies

Hello, I would like to use the SB16 FM-synthesizer to play some MIDI-Tones with /dev/music (currently I'm using /dev/dsp to output wav's, but I need /dev/dsp for recording).



Does anybody know if the Geode GX1 (which soundcard is SB16 compatible) supports the MIDI-FM-synthesizer?



In my kernel config I marked: [*] Sound card support [*] OSS sound modules [*] 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16 etc) [*] Yamaha FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support



Lilo contains: append="sb=0x220,5,1,5 opl3=0x388"



Trying it without Yamaha FM synth I'm unable to open a MIDI-device.



After adding the Yamaha FM synth I can open the device, can retrieve the number of synth-devices (==1) and can play a note (but I don't hear something :-(



Does anybody have an advice?



Best regards, Juergen
