The VT82C686 chip has an integrated MIDI port, the VT8237 has not. On the K7VT4A, MIDI is implemented by the SuperI/O chip. > Alsa is compiled with via82xx and mpu401 (and alsi virmidi and > serialmidi, for other reasons) enabled.

Add this line: alias snd-card-3 snd-mpu401 HTH Clemens _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
