The ALSA driver is "snd-usb-audio"; add that one to the blacklist, too. > Here's a snippet of my /etc/modules.conf: > options snd-card-ice1712 snd_enable This should be options snd-ice1712 enable=1 but you don't need this line because the driver is enabled by default anyway. > options snd-intel8x0 snd_enable Same here. > alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 > alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 > alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio > alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio > alias snd-card-4 snd-virmidi You should tell the drivers at which index to load, too. I recommend the following options lines: options snd-ice1712 index=0 options snd-intel8x0 index=1 options snd-usb-audio index=2,3 vid=0x0763,0x0582 options snd-virmidi index=4 (The "vid" parameters force the keyboard and the MIDI interface to be loaded at index 2 and 3, respectively.)
