Hi Dave. Can't say I know anything about using pcmcia, but I just wondered if you had the option lines set in /etc/modules.conf , and whether this may have something to do with it. options card_ID index=0 options card_ID index=1 options card_ID index=2 options snd-pdaudiocf index=3 obviously with the first 3's card ID's changed for your first 3 cards. I say this because before I had the options set, my usb midi keyboard was being detected first and registered in /proc/asound/cards , and the actual soundcard wasn't there. All the best. Nigel.
