It looks like you added "index". I did read somewhere that index helps. Is this still needed in these days? I'll try it. I have read that the "alias /dev/.." lines are no longer needed and actually may be a problem if included. Sure would like to get confirmation on this since it seems others _do_ add them. Anyone? I don't think it's a ALSA problem as much as the hotplug scripts aren't running automatically. Yeah, that's where I got the scripts too (just followed the ALSA directions): http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ brad Mark Knecht wrote: >Hi Brad, > I use a 2x2 here.
