Hi folks,

FedoraCore3
KDE desktop

I encounter problem in playing midi files, with no problem in playing musicCD.

# ls -l /dev/ | grep midi
crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 30 Jun 13 10:56 admmidi1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 29 Jun 13 10:56 amidi1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 25 Jun 13 10:56 dmmidi1

/dev/midi missing

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
chmod: cannot access `/dev/midi': No such file or directory

Kindly advise how to fix it.

TIA

B.R.

hmm.. i think the /dev/midi interface is a holdover from the days of the OSS
sound driver. perhaps you haven't enabled the oss compatibility part of ALSA?
