Description George Hansper 2004-07-16 06:22:22 UTC

Description of problem:
I was trying to get the mpu401 MIDI port to work with my
on-board intel810 soundcard, and I eventually worked out
that I needed to add:

    options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x300

to my /etc/modprobe.conf
This was only after resorting to looking at the kernel source-code.

I found whole exercise very time-consuming and frustrating.

Can this line be added by default, even if it has to be:
#options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x300

There was very little information included on how to "tweak" the
ALSA installation like this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
modutils-2.4.26-16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. aconnect -i
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '


Expected Results:  client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
client 64: 'Intel ICH5 MIDI - Rawmidi 0' [type=kernel]
    0 'Intel ICH5 MIDI '

At best, this would be an option in the soundcard config tool.

Note that current FC development kernels do not support the mpu_port
option to this driver.

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 15:03:42 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Can anybody check it in FC4? It should work out-of-the-box.

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2006-01-03 15:33:33 UTC
Some how-to for the latest alsa-driver and FC4 is here:
