Did you specifiy the parameters for snd-ymfpci in modules.conf?<BR>
(e.g. mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388)</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
No I didn't. So to use alsa with the midi port that is on the motherboard I would need to configure the memory address mpu_port=0x330 in /etcmodules.conf? Does the line need to go in a specific place, and is that the exact syntax? Is this documented somewhere? I have installed alsa manually on this machine before (this time I used the Planet RPMs and alsaconf) and I don't remember seeing anything that referrred to memory addresses for the midi ports.<BR>
