What port > address is used for the former? in order to play midi files, you either need to access the synthesys devices (opl or the wavetable synthesizer on the AWE/GUS) or you can use timidity (which according to people produces inferior sound quality). The latter does the conversion in software so you can use /dev/audio for the output. > awe0 at 0x620 on isa > AWE32 not found > AWE32: not detected maybe you can make the probe a little more verbose so as to understand what is going wrong. Or, ask Randall (i think) who originally imported the AWE sources and certainly knows how to configure it.
