Either load snd-seq-midi manually, or use ALSA 1.0.7. Looking at the lsmod output from my original email in this thread I see that the snd-seq-midi module was *NOT* loaded. If I want to have it be reliable, then I apparently should upgrade to ALSA 1.0.7. Is there a preferred method of upgrading ALSA on Mandrake 10.1? The last time I tried to upgrade ALSA (from 0.5 to 0.9) on Mandrake (was it 9.0?) the drivers were built as part of the kernel, and the ALSA apps were built & packaged separately. I'm OK with building kernels and such. But, I'd like a *preferred* recipe, if anyone has something like that. Thanks... P.S.: FWIW, I'll use my MandrakeClub status to request that they release ALSA 1.0.7 as an upgrade. -- Kevin
