Hi to all here at fluid-dev,
fluidsynth has options to make it use a particular audio driver (such as alsa,
jack, oss), but how can I make fluidsynth connect to a particular sound card?
Let's say I use fluidsynth with the alsa driver, and now I have two devices
that could be used (like an internal onboard sound or an external hotplugging
USB device). How can I connect fluidsynth to USB sound device explicitely?
I know that I should use jack and qjackctl for it all and it works, but
sometimes I would like to do it without jack.
I am stuck here because I have an external MIDI device (Edirol UM-2) and
fluidsynth wants to connect its audio driver part to it. It regards the MIDI
device as "default" audio device.
The error I am getting when running fluidsynth and the alsa driver part:
"ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
fluidsynth: error: Failed to open the "default" audio device
Failed to create the audio driver"
and aplay -L tells me that the MIDI device is considered to be the default
audio device, which is nonsens really. In the list it shows up as first
default device to fluidsynth wants to connect to that.
aplay -L
"default:CARD=UM2
Default Audio Device
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=NVidia
HDA NVidia, ALC260 Analog
Default Audio Device"
Do I really have to dig into
this
.asound.conf-multiple-cards-hotplug-USB-automagically-script-switching-thing
that has never worked for me or is there an easier way of doing it and I am
missing something?
Thanks for any hint here and kind regards,
Crypto.
