Hi Clemens, 2006/11/14, Clemens Ladisch <cladisch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Then it's probably not a problem with the port address. In what previous kernel version did this work? Do you know which ALSA version this was?
Unfortunately no, I do not remember, I'd have to investigate again... I am even not so sure MIDI IO has ever been working at all with this motherboard now that I am thinking better about it. I am getting older and it shows :( I tried unloading all of the ALSA drivers and fooled around a bit with the mpu401 OSS (free OSS) module just for the sake of it and it complains there's no such port at the BIOS addresses as well. I tried installing an older version of the dreaded OS on an obsolete spare HD with the MB supplied drivers and MIDI IO (still IOPort 300 and IRQ 5 settings for the BIOS) worked perfectly, I just did this test to make sure that the HW works in the first place.

A newer driver version might fix things. Which codec are you using? (see /proc/asound/cards)
