dpkg -l udev hotplug

Hi, Florian.

I modprobed the modules. KMid no longer throws an error about the
sequencer. But still no sound... None of the four maps it finds seems
to work.

Hi Wulfy,

This is probably not a good moment to mention it, but I actually have no
clue about how MIDI works. The OP had an error message which suggested
that udev had not created the appropriate node in /dev; this, as
expected, seems to be fixable by probing the necessary modules. Beyond
that I am lost: When I press the "Test MIDI" button in "KDE Control
Center > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System" I hear nothing at all. I
always figured this was because I do not have any external MIDI
instruments attached, therefore I did not investigate it any further.
The rest of my comments was aimed at tracking down a possible udev
problem; this does not seem to matter here, since you do get the node
in /dev.

[...]

Yewdales-lodge:~# lspci
0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems
[SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0)

Now Timidity throws an error "Can't open /dev/dsp".... :(

Oops. I would hope that this can be fixed by

rmmod snd_seq_midi
rmmod snd_seq
alasconf
