Multimedia :: USB Midi interfaces



Hi Juanito
I went back to DSL-N last night ( until 3am) but couldn't really get on with it...that's having no beaver for you at 3am!
Mainly the problem was that I couldn't apt-get anything so I couldn't set up Muse or fluidsynth and I couldn't use firefox.
That alsa extension...I take it you can't use it with DSL? If you compile a program with deb2dsl can you then use it in DSL-N? I see DSL uses kernel 2.4 and DSL uses kernel 2.6. I did install jack into DSL and it seemed to install but I didn't get sound through it......

That's correct, it does not have the alsa modules (eg snd-usb-audio) so it will not work with DSL.

Sometimes, but not always, I believe - you could try. If you work with the deb files rather than apt-get, then it will work in DSL-N for sure.

Well good news. I've got Muse working in DSL-N. I just made a DSL using deb2dsl and so far it loads fine.
The only problem is that alsa is not showing to be on in Muse. Yet when the PC boots up I can see it does the Alsa=autodetect thing.
I've even got fluidsynth installed as a DSL but still need to test this.
I've got to work out if Alsa is properly working...so I will report back. It's all looking positive tonight..............
