From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.18 Description of problem: The audio card, Creative audigy 2, has a midi sequencer that used to work in fc2 after loading soundfonts. kmid used to work nicely. Now I cannot load soundfonts anymore: sfxload /usr/local/midi/CT4MGM.SF2 /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory and kmid doesn't emit any sound: kmid ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory handle==0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-039-10.FC3.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fc3 2. try to load soundfonts 3. try to play any midi Actual Results: sfxload /usr/local/midi/CT4MGM.SF2 /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory and kmid doesn't emit any sound: kmid ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory handle==0 Expected Results: I should have listened to midi instead. Additional info: Maybe alsa-lib-1.0.6-5 alsa-utils-1.0.6-3 have to do something with it?
Sounds like a module is not being loaded. What does "lsmod | grep seq" produce? I don't know which driver an audigy uses for midi but you could try "modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul.ko" and see whether that makes the needed seq device...
I'm experiencing the same problem with FC3 on my DELL Latitude "lsmod | grep seq" produced the following: snd_seq_device 9228 1 snd_rawmidi snd 55396 11 snd_es1968,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device "modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul.ko" produced: FATAL: Module not modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul.ko found.

"modprobe snd_emu10k1_synth" fixed things for me. I have an Audigy2 ZS. I am still thinking about how to make it load automatically.
Comment #2: I suspect you are seeing a different problem (you don't have an emu10k card for a start). I don't know for sure, but I don't think es1968 based card have hardware midi so you will have to have midi software that outputs to the regular /dev/dsp device. Try asking on the fedora-list mailing list...
Jeff: do not add ".ko" for modprobe
This may be related to bug #139315 (x86_64 system...)
I have a problem similar to Nicola. I have a Notebook Travelmate 8005 with soundcard: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller And I use the module: snd-intel8x0 (automatic Fedora Core 3 installation). Midis software give me the following message: /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory I installed TiMidity++ and THIS plays midi! But it use a internal sqeuncer software. So I try tu use timidity as "daemon" to intercept midi calls with the command: timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 but I get error again. TEMPORARY SOLUTION Finally I use the suggested command (by Sitsofe Wheeler but whitout .ko) modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul and then I insert again the TiMidity server mode command: timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0 And it works! It is not so confortable. It is a patch but not a solution. ADDITIONAL NOTES lsmod | grep seq give me nothing! without Timidity++ in server mode execution - Kmid gives me: There are no midi ports ! - pmidi -l gives me empty table (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmidi) Well, there are problems yet. I hope to be usefull.

OK, so we've got multiple different reports here. Jeff and Tommy; you're loading a software midi device; those will never be autoloated by default; modules are only autoloaded for present hardware. Cameron and Nicola - what is your modprobe.conf and modprobe.conf.dist look like? There should be a line in modprobe.conf.dist that says: install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth Is this not working for you?
I'm also finding that the snd_seq module isn't being loaded automatically when I plug my USB midi device in, resulting in messages from applications like Nicola was seeing: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory modprobing snd_seq in by hand seems to be a work-around, but I'm still not getting any midi data from the device.
I had similar problem on FC3 i386/i686 with SBLive
Ooops, I meant to include a link to my comment on the related bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139315#c12 (No /dev/sequencer in FC3 i386/i686 with SBLive)

That previous action seems to be a mistake, since it points to a completely unrelated bug. Can you please reopen this bug?
Whoops, typo. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 147637 ***
