Hi,

I am running a 2.4.20 kernel on a Debian Sid system and trying to play
midi files.  The Soundblaster AWE64 works as indicated by the KDE 3.1.1
Control Center.  It as though one module or component is missing.  This 
is the relevant part of lsmod:

mpu401                 18372   0  (unused)
sb                      7796   0
sb_lib                 32206   0  [sb]
uart401                 6020   0  [sb_lib]
sound                  52300   0  [mpu401 sb_lib uart401]
soundcore               3556   5  [sb_lib sound]
isa-pnp                27812   0  [sb]

I have installed several midi players including KMid.  They all pretend 
they are playing but there is no sound.

Probably the most inportant information is that spxload says:
No AWE synth device is found.

TIA for any help,

Paul Scott
