No, they seem not. Your Soundblaster card doesn't show up at all, the only thing that's there is the Virmidi Card. There seems to be something messed up with the module configuration. Could you post your /etc/modules.conf (supposed you're running kernel 2.4)? > >>> But how can i tell pd the aktiv midi Device ? > >>> > >>> cat /dev/midi01 > >>> > >>> is the only device that is aktiv. Well, it isn't active in ALSA. Still, to use /dev/midi01 in Pd, you probably have to start Pd with "pd -mididev 2". Pd uses the device one less than what was issued on the command line. So "-mididev 2" lets Pd use midi01 (because: 2 - 1 = 1) ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ___footils.org_
