I am experiencing some problems with my sound and midi interfaces. I find in order to keep it all working I have to unplug my USB midi interface (a MidiSport 2x2) before booting up. If I don't the MidiSport is wrongly identified as the default sound interface. If I boot up without the MidiSport plugged in then aplay -L gives this list: null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=io2 io Default Audio Device front:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io Front speakers surround40:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output and sound output through the io2 works OK (although I don't understand why it lists all that "surround" stuff which is a capability the Alesis IO2 doesn't have). If I then plug the MidiSport in aplay gives this list: null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=io2 io Default Audio Device front:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io Front speakers surround40:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output default:CARD=M2x2 Default Audio Device and sound works OK through the io2 and midi works OK through the MidiSport. But if I leave the MidiSport plugged in before booting up then this is what aplay -L reports: null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=M2x2 Default Audio Device default:CARD=io2 io Default Audio Device front:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io Front speakers surround40:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=io2,DEV=0 io IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output and sound doesn't work, Is there a way to stop the MidiSport being identified as a sound card?
