I have always found it necessary to add snd-seq-midi to /etc/modules to get MIDI to work on my DeMuDi systems. I find http://alsa.opensrc.org/aadebug to be a useful source of diagnostic info (you can always snip the modprobe conf section). I suspect most posters to this list aren't intending to make formal bug reports, however, if we make a habit of including this information in a familiar format it makes it easier for everyone to zero in on each particular case and may provide useful incidental information. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim
