You are using the OSS sound driver when the link DarkLord pointed you to recommends the Alsa driver for Midi. Your card should work OK in 9.1 with the Alsa driver. If the Alsa driver is correctly installed it will install a midi module for you In my experience the easiest way to set up alsa is to install the alsa-utils RPM from your CD and then run 'alsaconf' in a root terminal. It will test your card and write a new /etc/modules.conf file which will load the correct modules for you. Be sure to back up your old modules.conf file because it will not copy the other configuration lines for your Ethernet or other devices. You must add those again by hand later. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
