Thanks, all, for the responses. Yes, this card works fine for me EXCEPT for MIDI. > What does > $ cat /proc/interrupts > say, with the card plugged in? > bob$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 143 830 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 131 30352 IO-APIC-edge i8042 6: 0 5 IO-APIC-edge floppy 7: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0 8: 12203 4033752 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 12: 7845 1277873 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 0 154 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 3373 2536046 IO-APIC-edge ide1 16: 813 181163 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb1, sata_nv 17: 8551 6228381 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb2 18: 20360 14805155 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 19: 687 209038 IO-APIC-fasteoi sata_nv 20: 3272 1048358 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci1394, ICE1712 21: 6469 2414562 IO-APIC-fasteoi nvidia NMI: 0 0 LOC: 8242661 7230065 ERR: 1 MIS: 0 Nothing leaps out at me.
