If you do not mean to use the "via" device comments (#) (or delete) at all the first text block written from alsaconf (all regarding "via") else change, in the text block regarding "emu10k1", snd-card-0 in snd-card-1 sound-slot-0 in sound-slot-1 After if you decide to configure both the cards remembers that you must run "alsamixer" with the relative card option (to the card that you have attacked to your amplifier) "alsamixer -c <which card>" (otherwise you can regulate the volumes of the card that you are not using) run "alsamixer -help" before. Remembers that in order to use the second card you will have to always make reference to the card number 1. when the audio part of alsa is working and you start to configure the midi I suggest you to read this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/MIDI-HOWTO-10.html by Frank Barknecht bye, -- Lazzaro
