Title: game support if missing /dev/snd/seq WIP
Post by: aus9 on December 30, 2025, 11:13:10 PM

Ok so I have a game with no sound at the moment. Its initial error included missing /dev/snd/seq
but we already have a K config with CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER
so I loaded module=snd-seq-midi (hyphens) and we have understems in modinfo as below

modinfo snd_seq_midi

game=pipewalker has sound, but it using wav files while the pesky game is using wad files
