I have a Midisport 2x2 and the ALSA support for it is an impressive piece of work, but it's still a real pain. btw, I seem to remember reading that some of the M-Audio USB devices can't be used at all with Linux 2.6 kernels, because they aren't strictly compliant USB devices at all (never mind standard USB audio ones) so the kernel rejects them before ALSA even gets involved. > I didn't test it by myself, but Evolution (http://www.evolution.co.uk/) now > owned by M-Audio, had several models conforming the standard USB MIDI > specification I didn't know they were owned by M-Audio. I have an Evolution 2-octave USB MIDI keyboard and as you say, it works with the snd-usb-audio module with no fuss at all. Plasticky keyboard but it works well. I imagine other manufacturers' wares are probably very similar. I have two other MIDI interfaces: an Audiophile 2496, which has a standard pair of MIDI plugs on a breakout cable, and which work fine using the same ice1712 modules as the audio on the card; and a gameport built in to a motherboard using what I think is an AMD compatible version (AMD768?) of the Intel 8x0 chipset, driven with the same intel8x0 ALSA driver. Again that works fine with the same drivers as the audio. Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
