It is impossible for me to listen a midi file with Kmid. I have the
message :

"Couldn't open /dev/sequencer. Probably there is another program using
it." (and no other program is using the sound)

Perhaps I have some rpm to install before ? Or some parameter to change...

(also the mid files are not supported by noatun, and I cannot load a mid
file in Xmms) (however, all is OK for mp3 files)

Thanks for help.

Hi,
You will have to tell us your soundcard and model and linus distribution.
If its a sound blaster live or varient you will have to load a soundfont
first

In the Mdk 8.0 control Center, it is seen as a sb ESS1869, so it is a
Sound Blaster or variant.

Where I load a "soundfont" ?

I think it Is it to put as a midi mapper on the page "Sound - midi" of
KDE Panel Control. In the Help page, it is said that it is very easy, you
only have to select a mapper
(http://www.kde.gr.jp/help/doc/kdebase/doc/kcontrol/HTML/midi.html). But
in $HOME, there is no such files !! Very easy when we know... I don't
know...

Try kmidi instead of kmid. It doesn't need /dev/sequencer. /dev/sequencer
is hard to set up on some soundcards.

Yes, thank you, it runs. However, if it is not too complex, I am
interested to compare with KMid...
