libmt32emu is version 0.1.3
mt32emu-alsadrv is CVS from 3/25/2010

You'll still need to backup your MT-32 ROM to disk to use with the emulator.

Board wouldn't let me attach DEB files, so I tar/gzip'd them.

Unzip, install libmt32emu and mt32emu, and run "mt32d" or "xmt32" to launch the midi daemon.

You will see a line like this in console output:

brikeener@ubuntu:~/source/mt32emu-0.1.3$ mt32d
MT-32 emulator ALSA address is 128:0

Configure DOSBOX to use 128:0 (or whatever it shows) and you should be good to go.

For some odd reason, you'll have to run as "root" user if you don't have pulseaudio installed. I'll see if I can figure out what's up with that.

Is your user account in the "audio" user group?

Ah, that is right. I knew I forgot something on Ubuntu. Let me try again!

That did the trick.

Stupid ubuntu.

I read about uninstalling Pulse but haven't had the guts to try. It annoys me though because Wine doesn't play very nice with it. There's a patch for Wine that makes it use Pulse directly as an output, but they won't incorporate it officially into Wine because they're planning to replace the whole Wine audio system with OpenAL at some point...

I've never had anything but problems with pulseaudio.

What pisses me off is that Gnome/etc. dumped their support for alsa mixers as far as I can tell. Once you uninstall pulseaudio you lose all your mixer functionality.

Just annoys me!!!

Yeah there's a tool that's supposed to let you switch Gnome to use ALSA instead of Pulse, but it didn't seem to actually work for me.

I switched back to XFCE from Gnome anyway.

XFCE mixer doesn't care if you're using pulseaudio or alsa.

I've been trying to follow this technique to get MT-32 support to work on DOSBox on a 64-bit Ubuntu system, and it's giving me errors.

When I run mt32d, it says

Then when I run DOSBox:

1DOSBox version 0.74
2Copyright 2002-2010 DOSBox Team, published under GNU GPL.
3---
4CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file /home/arlo/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf
5MIXER:Got different values from SDL: freq 44100, blocksize 512
6ALSA:Can't subscribe to MIDI port (65:0) nor (17:0)
7MIDI:Opened device:none

And there's no sound when I try to play the game. (I did make sure to change the config= line in dosbox-0.74.conf to 129:0 and not 128:0). Any ideas?

at first glance dosbox is not reading your changes.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any reason why it why it wouldn't be reading the changes? I'm fairly certain it's reading the config file. I've tried changing fullscreen to true, and it loads in full screen when I open it. I've also made sure there are no other lines for "mpu401=" intelligent= device= config= mididevice= or midiconfig=. And I don't have any other .config files that would be loaded. I even moved my backup copy to a different directory just to be safe.

the correct lines are

1[midi]
2midiconfig=129:0

don't omit the [midi] part and be sure to edit the right configfile

That's what I have. This is my [midi] section:

1[midi]
2#     mpu401: Type of MPU-401 to emulate.
3#             Possible values: intelligent, uart, none.
4# mididevice: Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401.
5#             Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio, coremidi, none.
6# midiconfig: Special configuration options for the device driver. This is usually the id of the device you want to use.
7#               See the README/Manual for more details.
8
9mpu401=uart
10intelligent=true
11device=default
12config=129:0
13mididevice=default
14midiconfig=

EDIT: I just realized it said config=129:0 and not midiconfig=129:0. I changed it to midiconfig, but it still doesn't work.

remove all settings below the [midi]
and only put that midiconfig=129:0 there.
