All that is is an alias snd.... = maestro. If the configuration utility of your distribution doesn't support ALSA, you have to create the entries in modules.conf manually. > I have two other devices around as well: > > 1. USB Roland MIDI. This appears to have been configured The hotplug scripts load the driver even when it isn't configured. And because of this, it might be loaded before the other drivers; so there should be an entry for this in modules.conf. > so I need some quick way of testing it out.

(You need a recent ALSA version for amidi.) To play a .mid file, run "pmidi -l" to see a list of ports, then run "pmidi -p X:0 something.mid". > 2. SW60XG ISA sound card.

The configuration for your three cards should look like this: alias char-major-14 soundcore alias char-major-116 snd options snd cards_limit=3 alias snd-card-0 snd-xxxxxx alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-2 snd-mpu401 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 options snd-mpu401 index=2 port=0x330 irq=-1 # OSS emulation alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias snd-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias snd-slot-2 snd-card-2 alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-2-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-2-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-2-12 snd-pcm-oss The driver name for your first sound card depends on what card you actually have, see <www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/>. The port address for the snd-mpu401 driver must be set to the same value as selected on the card. HTH Clemens
