It can be loaded but is not loaded by default as mtpav does not work if any other parport driver is loaded. >> I added a print statement to to __init function (see the code and arrow -> below). >> It initialises without error. >> >> static int __init alsa_card_mtpav_init(void) > > The actual device initialization is in snd_mptav_probe(). Ok, this is where the default message: "Motu MidiTimePiece on parallel port irq: %d ioport: 0x%lx\n" is written from. So there is no error too. BTW: lsmod |grep snd_mtpav shows, that it is using snd_rawmidi... snd_mtpav 16384 0 snd_rawmidi 32768 2 snd_mtpav,snd_seq_midi snd 81920 5 snd_mtpav,snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device Was there a recent api change? More and more it looks like there is a problem with registering the driver / the port to the ALSA system.
