Thanks! I've got the missing files by eMail - and it works! For documentation a short summary: 1) blacklist snd-usb-audio for hotplug 2) get the firmware of the device from the usbmidi project (or from somewhere else) 3) get fxload 4) use the following shell script to load the firmware #! /bin/bash modprobe snd-usb-audio #if not already loaded at startup cd /usr/share/usb/midisport fxload -D /proc/bus/usb/*BUS*/*DEVICE* MidiSportLoader.ihx -I MidiSport2x2.ihx exit Substitute *BUS* and *DEVICE* with the numbers you get by running lsusb. Thanks to everyone who helped me!
