Hi Frank. Using a dodgy kernel eh! I've being viewing your posts , and sort of wanting to help, scanned the synaptic list. I had 2.4.27 kernel and 2.6.8. Having now found out that that Sarge has gone stable I've decided to stay on the testing repo. Like going into unknown territory (beyond Sarge). Found a 2.6.11-1-386 and thought "give this a go". The only problems I find with this one are the same as with the 2.6.8 kernel. You have to add to /etc/modules, uhci_hcd so as to be able to use the usb midi keyboard, and have to add to /etc/modules, snd-emu10k1-synth so that my script to autoload the soundfont with sfxload will work, bearing in mind that I'm using an Audigy2 soundblaster card with emu10k1 driver. I realise that your problem is a sound card one, and also that the 2 modules I've mentioned should really be loaded as default. Just giving my 2 cents worth. Hope you get it fixed. Nigel.
