Hi I'm confused about how to setup alsa. Originally I managed to get things working, but after buying an usb sound card, I'm even so confused that I'm not exactly sure what to ask, but I'll try. I run debian/unstable on a laptop with my own 2.6.4 kernel and alsa 1.0. I have the following hardware that I believe to be related to alsa: *Onboard i810 soundcard *USB Edirol UA-1A sound card *4 port usb hub *2 evolution usb-keyboards connected to the hub *I need one virtual midi port for each keyboard, so 2 for now The problem is that right now the cards get assigned a card number that reflects in what order they were inserted. I'd rather have them show up on fixed locations. Below is my childish attempt on a /etc/modutils/alsa file. I'm pretty sure it's not correct to refer to snd-usb-midi, since I don't have a module by that name. Could anyone please give me a hand + some general bckground information?
