Hi Folks, I have a sound card that using the Opti MAD16 chipset (I borrowed it from a friend to try out under FreeBSD; I don't have the manufacturer name). This card can be setup by its DOS software to run in SB compatibility and in Windows Sound System (WSS) mode. Under FreeBSD-current, I'm able to get the basic SB and WSS modes recognized. I.e I can get the kernel to recognize `sb0' or `wss0'. However, in neither mode am I able to get MIDI to work properly. Running `playmidi' results in a kernel error message: ``Soundcard: Sequencer not initialized''. I can't seem to get `sbmidi0' to be recognized in SB compatibility mode. This seems to come from "isa/sound/sequencer.c", since the `num_midis' variable is not being incremented during initialization of snd0. Not surprising since `wss0' is implemented in `ad1848.c' which has no MIDI support. Has anyone been able to get external MIDI to work properly with the MAD16 chipset? Thanks, Koshyhome | help
