Bad news again I'm afraid :( [root@localhost ~]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-rc3/kernel/sound/core/seq/ instr snd-seq-dummy.ko snd-seq-midi-emul.ko snd-seq-virmidi.ko oss snd-seq-instr.ko snd-seq-midi-event.ko snd-seq-device.ko snd-seq.ko snd-seq-midi.ko [root@localhost ~]# service alsasound stop Shutting down sound driver: done [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd snd_page_alloc 10632 0 [root@localhost ~]# service alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done [root@localhost ~]# modprobe snd-rawmidi [root@localhost ~]# alsamixer ... no changes to controls [root@localhost ~]# modprobe snd-seq-midi [root@localhost ~]# alsamixer ... no changes to controls By the way, I discovered that alsaconf is creating my /etc/modprobe.d/sound (instead of appending to /etc/modprobe.conf). JeeBee.
