Everything was fine under 32 bit Fedora, but after migration I've lost MIDI and MP3/OGG sounds. Surprisingly Skype works fine and KDE system sounds work too. For example, here's what Rosegarden prints: http://pastebin.com/MvGcbGv6 This is from MPlayer: http://pastebin.com/if4UL7Tn Listing of my soun...

As no one seems to be having the same issue, maybe you could recommend software other than Rosegarden capable of entering chords from MIDI keyboard?

If I start Rosegarden and create a new track, it will allow me to enter notes from the MIDI keyboard. But once I stop and view entered notes in note editor, there is no going back. I can't seem to be able to continue the same track or enter another track - MIDI input will not be recorded. Did anyone...

MIDI keyboard

Denemo user guide mentioned that bass and chords could be entered by holding some key while using a filter.

This must have been asked before but I could not find any posts to that effect. What do I need to do to enter bass and chords?

Well, yes, of course emu10k1 module is running. W/o that there would be no sound in or out of the card.

This page says that the alsa-firmware package is needed for the cards using your chipset. (I found it clicking the 'Details' link for your card on this page http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs ) Good luck, Gerard. That would explain everything (at least I think so...

There is only 1 device and it's Audigy2.
It seems that SigmaTel is the mixer chip on Audigy family of cards and that's what alsamixer reports. From its perspective there is no Audigy2, just SigmaTel chip. Which kind of makes sense, but as everything under Linux, is "correct, but wrong".

Since my last post Ubuntu Studio was installed on both kids keyboard workstation and even my home office workstation. Unfortunately there are still issues. 1. Audigy2 mic capture did not work (exactly same as under Fedora12). Had to resort to removing Pulse audio. pasuspender did not seem to do anyt...

Switching distros would be a piece of cake, I am comfortable with all unices and was using Fedora12 only because I was a Redhat admin in the past. I quickly realized that Fedora != Redhat :( Could you recommend a Linux distro specially tailored to be a music station, if such exists? If this was poss...

I mis-spoke when said that Audacity reqiured jack - it was Rosegarden as a matter of fact. Was thinking about Audacity for a different reason, which I will mention after the jack crash report. Here's complete crash report from Jack: # jackd -d alsa *** buffer overflow detected ***: jackd terminated ...

As I am unable to even run JACK, I have a few questions: - does Jack work best on top of hardware layer, or alsa, or pulse audio? - is jack prone to crashes in general, or I just got lucky? - are there known issues with my hardware (Audigy2 on P4/i845 machine)? - do Linux sequencers absolutely requi...

Hi, Setting up Fedora 12 machine for my kids, they play Yamaha keyboard and want to record songs. Also we will use that machine to communicate over Skype. Good or bad, when Pulse audio is installed, Skype does not work, which is critical. I uninstalled Pulse audio. When I try to start Audacity, she ...
