I've had similar problems playing midi files (SoundBlaster AWE64 PnP). I can play .au and .wav files fine and I can use timidity to play a .mid file but when I try running playmidi I get "No playback device set. Aborting"
In /dev there is MAKEDEV file, if you sh ./MAKEDEV it will create all the device files for you (I think) Bill -----Original Message----- From: Michael Abraham Shulman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 August 2000 00:11 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Playing MIDI files Hi, When I try to play MIDI files with `playmidi', I get the message open /dev/sequencer: No such device However, `ls -l /dev/sequencer' produces crw-rw---- 1 root audio 0 Mar 28 16:29 /dev/sequencer so I don't understand what's wrong. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
