OK, this is another a pig-in-a poke... but I am still working to get my MiaMIDI sound card working in Ubuntu 8.04.1 (apparently the drivers are not loading (?)). I am contemplating installing Kubuntu as well (?). I have been unable (so far) to find any firmware updates for this card. What I am wondering is: 1.) perhaps my integrated SiS SI7012 sound "card" needs to be turned off (or substitute correct term) somehow? I believe (if memory serves at all here) I had to do this in Windows XP. 2.) & given that my version of asla (according to Synaptic Package Manager) is: alsa (basic) 1.0.1.6; alsa-tools-gui 1.0.15-2; alsa utils 1.0.15.-3, & the most current version is (according to http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page ) is: [ alsa-driver-1.0.17 <ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2> ]. & I am (more or less) aware that various cards have compatibility problems with some versions, or as I understand this, the latest is not necessarily what works. But having said this, might an update be in order? I am on the verge of sending a bug track notice... but would like to be better informed as to all options before doing so, if necessary. Thanks much.
