I'm having trouble playing MIDI through the ports of my sound card:
Code:
Port    Client name                      Port name
 16:0    SB Live 5.1                      EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)
 17:0    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 0
 17:1    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 1
 17:2    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 2
 17:3    Emu10k1 WaveTable                Emu10k1 Port 3
128:0    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 0
128:1    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 1
128:2    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 2
128:3    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 3
I've tried everything from 16:0 to 17:3, after having gotten my SoundFonts from a Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 install CD. Here are the fonts:
Code:
mnt/cdrw/SoundFont Library/2mb:
Coolness.SF2  GONGXSBL.SF2  Paradise.SF2  TRANCE.SF2

/mnt/cdrw/SoundFont Library/4mb:
Millenium.SF2  Princess.SF2

/mnt/cdrw/SoundFont Library/8mb:
ILLUSION.SF2  ineedu32.SF2
I've only tried a few of these, through asfxload, but with no luck. I am able to play them with TiMidity. What have I done incorrectly?

Are you trying to play midi using the onboard midi support, or play through the cards's midi ports to a midi device?

On my Soundblaster Live 5.1 CD the soundbank file is called 4GMGSMT.SF2 (4MB)
