Hallo Robert,
thank you very much for your information.
I believe we will make my card running in linux quite soon.
It seems, that my creative audixy has an emu10k1 chip and yes, there is a linux
sound object named emu10k1.o with my kernel.
But they seem somehow to be incompatible. the kernel's one does not find my
audixy. the source from sourceforge somehow seems to be advanced.
When load it, i see in sndstat and in the emu10k1 source that it provides dsp
mixer and midi devices, but no synth devices. when i load emu10k1 i first have
to load ac97_codec
i tested dsp. it works fine.
when i want to play midi, i type playmidi -a midifile.mid.
The program does not show any error, but there is no sound at all.
Is emu10k1 meant to be used with AWE ? or does emu10k1 provide wavetable with
its own ?
awe_wave will not load, befcause it won't load because it does not find an
awe64 card. I cannot patch/rewrite awe_wave.c because its too difficult for me
to rewrite from an isa card to a pci card.
i cannot rewrite sfxload because it operates on the proper synth device(audixy)
but there are no synth devices registered in my system.
My goal is to play midi files with the wavetable of the audixy card. how can i
achieve this ?
