Hi, a problem may also be with the udev device system, which can cause /dev/snd/seq not to be created as expected, or not giving the right permissions to the node. This solves it temporarily: mknod -m 660 /dev/snd/seq c 116 1 chgrp audio /dev/snd/seq If anyone has a better, more definite solution, I'd be happy to know... sincerely, Marije
