Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Midi/Game port (rev 04). and my lsmod shows 2 lines referring to this. emu10k1_gp 3584 0 gameport 4608 emu10k1_gp Neither of those shows up on your lsmod, so I presume that your card does not have a gameport. If you have a midi in connection, there is another module snd-mpu401. I don't have a midi in, but this may be the module that needs to be loaded. modprobe snd-mpu401 (as root) You also mentioned trying a usb midi keyboard. You will need to load another module, snd-usb-audio , and where you put it to autoload at bootup, depends on your distro, but a, modprobe snd-usb-audio , will load it. I use an Evolution MK-225C usb midi keyboard. With the snd-usb-audio module loaded Qjackctl shows my keyboard on the left hand side, and whatever I want to connect it to, ZynAddSubFx, etc, on the right. It does also show on the left side, Audigy MPU-401 (UART) , but this is probably with reference to the gameport on the card that can be used to play midi through, but I havn't used this. Nigel.
